Life In the Spirit

Jesus often taught spiritual truth by communicating with parables; an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. In the parable of the sower, Jesus shares about the soil (heart) and the seed (word of God). If the soil is good it should produce fruit (spiritual fruit).

The parable of the Good Samaritan is a story that reveals an important spiritual truth, to love our neighbor as ourselves. How do Christians love their neighbors as themselves when their neighbors are so opposed to Jesus and the gospel message?

Jesus used parables to explain spiritual truth. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. In the parable of the unmerciful servant, Jesus shares a story to example the importance of forgiveness.

How are we saved? We are saved by grace through faith and not by works. Both grace and faith are not one dimensional and are multi faceted. In this message we are discovering the depths of grace, faith and salvation.

The true gospel of Jesus Christ results in Jesus alone maintaining the throne of our heart as Lord. A self centered gospel shares the throne of or hearts with is shared with Jesus and He exists to give us a better life.

After the final judgment there will be a new heaven and a new earth. As followers of Jesus we look forward to this day. God will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and death shall be no more, no mourning, no crying, no more pain, for the former things will pass away.

According to scripture there will be a resurrection and a final judgment. The righteous in Christ will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to be judged. While the wicked will stand before the great white throne and be judged according to their works.

Jesus is returning soon! Throughout the New Testament the return of Jesus is communicated as being imminent and the church should be prepared. The church should be prepared morally, spiritually and preparing others for Christ return.

We believe divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Jesus and is the privilege of all believers.

The church is described throughout the New Testament as a body. Like a body the church has a purpose. One purpose of the church is to be a witness, to be the hands and feet of Jesus going to the lost and sharing a message of hope and salvation. We believe the primary purpose of the church is the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
