We
are bold enough to offer help along the way and point you to the right path. It is reasonable that you would want to know where we are coming from, and where we are going. We believe in these essentials: |
||||
| 1. Truth exists, and can be known by us. |
Jeremiah 29:13 Matthew 11:25-27 Romans 15:4 Hebrews 1:1-2 2 Peter 1:20-21 |
|||
| 2. God's word is truth. The whole Bible alone is God's inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word. It is the ultimate source for knowledge about God, as well as the definitive guide for our daily lives. |
Mark 13:31 John 17:17 2 Timothy 3:16-17 1 Peter 1:22-25 |
|||
| 3. God exists as the one God in three distinct persons (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). God is self-existent, eternal, unchanging, omnipotent, omnipresent, holy, righteous, and loving. God created the universe from nothing, and He rules over His creation sovereignly. |
Genesis 1:1-2 Genesis 1:26 Isaiah 45:5-6 Matthew 28:19 Luke 10:21 2 Corinthians 13:14 Ephesians 4:4-7 |
|||
| 4. Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary atoning death on the cross, was buried, and was bodily resurrected. He ascended to God, and will personally return again. |
Matthew 1:18-25;
20:28 Luke 1:26-38 John 20:28-31 Acts 1:9-11; 4:12 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 2 Corinthians 5:21 Hebrews 4:15 1 John 4:2 |
|||
|
5. We all travel a path to somewhere. |
||||
| The wide path. In our natural condition, every person's sin separates him from God. That wide path leads to destruction, and eternal punishment in hell. |
Proverbs 14:12 Matthew 7:13-14 Matthew 25:31-46 Romans 3:11-20; 6:23 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 |
|||
| The narrow path. Every person needs to be born again in order to enter the Kingdom of God (as described in the gospel of John chapter 3). Entrance is through a small gate, Jesus. And the narrow path leads to eternal life. |
Proverbs 12:28 John 3:1-21 John 10:9 John 14:1-6 Act 2:38-41 Acts 16:30-31 2 Corinthians 5:17 |
