Jesus Brings Life

We are dedicated to the Great Commission. (Love First)

God's love compels us to cherish every human soul and to do all we can to lead them to Jesus. We will do anything short of sin to reach the lost at home and abroad for Jesus Christ. We will celebrate the message of Jesus Christ by telling His story in a way that is attractive to people who are far from Him and makes much of the Gospel that gives us Life. We exist to give glory to God and Love as many people to Jesus as we can before we die. Period.

Memory Verse:
Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

God's love compels us to cherish every human soul and to do all we can to lead them to Jesus.

There is nothing more Christlike than to have a heart broken for the lost.

If we love like Jesus loves, then we will do things like Jesus does.

"If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.”
- Charles H. Spurgeon — Sermon "The Wailing of Risca"

We will do anything short of sin to reach the lost at home and abroad for Jesus Christ.

"The Church is the Church only when it exists for others… The church must share in the secular problems of ordinary human life, not dominating, but helping and serving.”
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer — Life Together (1939)

Romans 10:13-14 TLB
13 Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
14 But how shall they ask him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?

"The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.”
- Hudson Taylor — Founder of the China Inland Mission

We will celebrate the message of Jesus Christ by telling His story in a way that is attractive to people who are far from Him and makes much of the Gospel that gives us Life.

We tell His story in 2 primary ways: In person and in the pulpit.

Revelation 12:11 TLB
They defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony; for they did not love their lives but laid them down for him.

We exist to give glory to God and Love as many people to Jesus as we can before we die. Period.

"I would sooner bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unpick all the mysteries of the divine word, for salvation is the thing we are to live for."
-Charles H. Spurgeon,

"The surest thing in the world is not death and taxes, it's death and eternity. Yet, we're so unconcerned. We are not eternity conscious enough."
-Leonard Ravenhill
