Pastor's Message

	God, who is perfectly good and limitless in power, has created the universe. We have rebelled against him and all of us are under condemnation.
		Romans 3:10, 23 There is none righteous, no, not one; for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
	Yet God in his love for us, has made a way for us to be reconciled to him. By dying in our place on the cross, Jesus provided the only way for you and I to be forgiven for our sins.
		1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.
	Jesus now lives and new life is available in him, but...
		John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
	We must turn from living for self and follow him, and...
		Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."
	We must trust that he has done everything we need to be accepted and loved by God.
		Acts 20:21 Testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
	You can read all about the life of Jesus and his teachings in the Gospels, in the Bible: the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
	Mark or Luke are good places to start if you are unfamiliar with the Bible. All of the quotes on the right are taken from the Bible.
		Acts 10:43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins.
