Who is Jesus

The Good News

Everything we do as a church, and the reason we exist in the first place, is because of God’s gift of forgiveness through his Son Jesus. More than anything else, we want you to know that God loves you and has a plan for your life! Many spend their lives trying to earn God’s approval by following rules, attending religious services, or being a good person; the truth is that the only way to a fulfilling life and an eternal future in heaven is through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

God loves you

Because of God’s love for all persons, He desires that you have unbroken fellowship with Him.

(John 3:16Ephesians 2:4-5)

You are a sinner

All persons are “sinners” in that they disobey God. Sin is choosing to go your own way and do your own thing as opposed to being obedient to God.

(Isaiah 53:6Romans 3:10)

Sin separates you from God

Sin forms a barrier that prevents you from entering into unbroken fellowship with God, Who is holy. As an unholy sinner, you can’t have fellowship with God. You are headed for a Christless eternity that the Bible calls Hell.

(Isaiah 59:2Romans 3:23)

You can’t save yourself

People often think that through their efforts they can overcome the sin barrier between themselves and God. That isn’t true. There’s nothing you can do to restore the broken relationship with God. You can’t earn God’s salvation.

(Ephesians 2:8-9Titus 3:5Romans 4:4-5)

God sent His Son Jesus to remove the sin barrier

People often think that through their efforts they can overcome the sin barrier between themselves and God. That isn’t true. There’s nothing you can do to restore the broken relationship with God. You can’t earn God’s salvation.

(Ephesians 2:8-9Titus 3:5Romans 4:4-5)

You can receive Jesus Christ through faith

Faith is trusting in what Jesus has done for you rather than trusting your own efforts to restore fellowship with God. Faith is complete reliance on Christ to put you in right relationship with God, allowing Him to live His life through you. Faith also involves repentance or genuine sorrow for sin and willingness to turn away from sin.

(John 14:6Acts 16:31Romans 10:9-10)

Through prayer you can trust in Jesus Christ

Admit to God that you are a sinner. Express sorrow or repentance for your sinfulness. Ask Him to forgive your sins. Invite Jesus into your life as Savior and Lord. Commit yourself to live for Him.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.  And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.  And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

Colossians 1:15-20
