Our message is a message of Hope in a world of despair, Peace in a world of turmoil, Love in a world of hate, Joy in a world of sorrows, and Faith in a world of doubt.
Our message focuses on one Man and what His sacrifice has accomplished for us (Eph. 3:10-11). A Man who lived a life of obedience for us (Rom. 5:19). A Man who died a death of the disobedient for us(Heb. 2:9). A Man who was resurrected and now makes intercession for us (Heb.7:25). A Man who is our "Hope" (I Tim. 1:1), our "Peace" (Eph. 2:14), and our "Life" (Col 3:4).
We believe and teach that salvation is totally by the Grace of God which he bestows on us through the blood of Jesus. We rest our hope fully, not partly or mostly, but fully, on God's Grace (I Pet. 1:13). We do not earn, merit, acquire, or add anything to the sacrifice that Jesus made for our sins. Any response on our part (such as trusting in Him, and being baptized as a demonstration of our faith in Him) is simply an acceptance of His "Indescribable Gift" (II Cor. 9:15). Therefore, "We do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus the Lord" (II Cor. 4:5). I wrote the following poem years ago which briefly summarizes what we believe about Jesus Christ - Who Himself is Our Message.
