God's Triumphant Plan

God’s story for us, as revealed in the pages of the Bible, is that Christ died for our sins and gave us eternal life. This is certainly good news, but the story would not be complete if Jesus had not also defeated the devil at the cross.

You Have Been Redeemed and Forgiven

God dove in and rescued us from the rushing torrent of sin. How did he perform that rescue? By paying the ransom. Because of His rescue, we have been redeemed and forgiven!

You are a Saint

Being a saint doesn’t mean you are perfect. It doesn’t mean you have lived such a good life that you get categorized in a different level of humanity—or that you have to live by a strict set of rules set by God Himself. Being a saint means that Christ has effected such a tremendous salvation that, we are changed and ‘set apart’ through Him.

You Are A Member of Christ's Body

We the Church are the Body of Christ on earth and each one of us has a part to play in how God wants to minister to, serve, love, and save the world.

A Matter of Being Someone

Being a Christian is not just a matter of getting something; it's a matter of being someone. A Christian is not simply a person who gets forgiveness, heaven, and the Holy Spirit. In terms of our deepest identity, a Christian is a saint, a spiritually born child of God, a divine masterpiece.

You Are Justified

Our world today is arguing over every topic imaginable, and the ways we seek to justify ourselves can be blatant or subtle. Unless we approach conversations about difficult topics knowing that our justification has been purchased by Jesus Christ, our fleshly tendency will be to seek to prove ourselves right at the expense of others.

You Are a Friend of God

Jesus has chosen you to be his friend. “You did not choose me, but I chose you…” How incredible is that! So how do friends relate? Friends work together, share what is on their mind with one another and are willing to sacrificially give of themselves for the good of the other.
