I loved being at auONE last night. It was so significant in the life of AU to see students and staff leaders from several campus ministries coming together to worship and celebrate what Christ dreams of for that campus. I’m so grateful for the students who had the vision for last night and made it happen.

My hope for last night was to connect a gathering like auONE to the 2,000 year story of the church. How amazing to know that you and I as followers of Christ are the embodiment of everything Jesus promised in Matthew 16:

“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is? They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. – Matthew 16:13-18
