Foundational Blocks Upon Which We Have Built

Jesus is my absolute best friend, and everything in my life is filtered through him. He is not at the top of my list, He is my list. He is part of the Trinity, which has been in existence forever. This consists of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All are of equal value, but with very different functions.

God the Father – A loving Father who is all powerful, all knowing and all present. He aggressively pursues us in love and works all things for our good, if we will allow Him to.
Jesus Christ - Salvation is through Jesus alone. Jesus died on the cross that we may be reconciled to God. The call from Christ is all inclusive – open to anyone and everyone is invited, but Jesus is the only way.
The Holy Spirit – The One who leads me in the way I should go. He is my Teacher and Defender. He opens the Scriptures and reveals things I did not see before, convicts me of sin in my life, and tells me to be quiet when opening my mouth will do more harm than good. I keep Him very busy.

Scripture - The Bible is the written Word of God, authored through men, but by God. It is inerrant and has the final say in my life, even when it is difficult. It is not just a book of history – it is relevant to my day to day life. It is where I find answers, and where I have gotten to know God. It is absolutely essential for navigating this life on earth. God has given each of us one life – we determine how we live it. This manual is my handbook for victorious Christian living.

Eternity – We are spiritual beings that will live forever, either in Heaven or in Hell. All are called to salvation through Jesus and eternity in Heaven, but the result of rejecting Jesus is Hell. It is God’s will that all are saved, but He will always respect our right to choose for ourselves.
Man - Created in God’s image and given dominion by God to rule over the earth. This is where our authority originates from. It was given to us by God, but it is up to us how we will choose to use it. God desires a very personal and loving relationship with each of us, and pursues us as subjects of His great affection. No one loves like God loves, and man is whom He has chosen as the recipients of His great favor.

The Church – This is a local group of believers whose purpose is to support and encourage growth in their relationship with God and with one another. To assist in trials and help carry the pressures of this life that can become overwhelming when going it alone, both in word and in action. To reach out and tell those in the immediate community and around the world the good news of the Kingdom of God. To love on each other, and to show an unbelieving world the genuineness of Christ. And of course – to break bread together.
