Various Texts

Our Mission

•      As followers of Jesus we are called to share with the world the truth of:

–     Who Jesus is

–     What Jesus has done

•      This message is called the Gospel

–     The Good News

–     The heart of this message can be summarized in the GOSPEL acronym

 

The GOSPEL

•      God created us to be with Him

•      Our sins separate us from God

•      Sins cannot be removed by good deeds

•      Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again

•      Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life

•      Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever

 

God created us to be with Him

•      Humans were created by God (Gen 1:27)

•      We were made to be with Him (Ps. 100:3)

 

Our sins separate us from God

•      We are all sinners

-   Sin: Disobeying God’s commands

-   We were born as sinner (Eph. 2:3)

-   We choose to sin (1 John 1:8, 10)

•      Sin separates us from God (Isa. 59:2; Rom. 3:23)

-   In our sin, we do not give God the glory that He is due

 

Sins cannot be removed by good deeds

•      Regardless of how good we act, we cannot pay the debt that our sins have earned us (Rom 6:23a; Isa. 64:6)

•      We must rely on God to act on our behalf (Eph 2:8-9)

 

 

So What?

•      We are called to share the Good News of Jesus with the world

•      Do you know the truth of the Gospel well enough to share it?

•      Do you believe the Gospel and are you living it out?
