“What [we BELIEVE], what comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. . .we tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God”
~ A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy

We believe the Bible teaches that salvation and the forgiveness of sins is achieved ONLY BY GOD’S GRACE through Jesus Christ’s death on the cross.

JUSTIFICATION is what God does for us!

SANCTIFICATION is what God does in us!

Sanctus means holy.
Ficare means make.

1st Factor:
Joint Project (between us and God)

"It's often the small things that no one sees that result in the big things that everyone wants."
~Craig Groeschel

2nd Factor:
Truth

"It's often the small things that no one sees that result in the big things that everyone wants."

3rd Factor:
Trouble & Trespasses

People change because life is often difficult - these struggles forces us to need God.

Romans 5:3-4, NCV
",,,trouble produces patience, & patience produces character, & character produces hope."

Luke 4:13,
“...when the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left Him until the next opportunity came.”

Romans 8:17, MSG
“We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through hard times with Him, then we are certainly going to go through the good times with Him.”

The goal of sanctification is a single word = LOVE.
