Mission
The mission of this teaching ministry is to fulfill the words spoken by Paul the apostle in the book of Ephesians
“…for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, til we all come to the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head – Christ – from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:12-16
My Faith - What I Believe
The Bible
The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is the complete revelation of God's will for mankind, and it is without error in the original autographs, and is not only a complete revelation from God it is the final revelation from God.
The Trinity
There is only One God, who is eternal and immutable, and manifests Himself in three distinct Persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
Is the only begotten Son of God. He is the promised Messiah, born of a virgin, totally without sin, God in the flesh, the One who came to die on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose again from the dead on the third day, and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He now intercedes for those who believe in Him as Savior.
Salvation
All men are lost and are born with a sinful nature and that the work of the cross was to redeem man from the power of sin. Salvation is a gift from God and is available to all who will receive it. Salvation cannot be earned by your good deeds and must be obtained by faith in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Heaven and Hell - Heaven is a real place where the saved will dwell forever, and hell is a literal place of torment where those who reject the forgiveness of their sins in Christ Jesus, will dwell forever.
Water Baptism
All those who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior should be baptized in water as a public profession of their faith in Christ. Baptism by immersion in water is in accordance to the Word of God and should be done as an act of obedience.
The Holy Spirit
Is the third person of the Trinity. He was sent as a gift to all believers after Jesus ascended into heaven. The baptism of the Holy Spirit manifests itself by the the demonstration of the fruit and gifts of the Spirit. All believers need to be filled an empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a godly life and to be bold in their witness for Jesus.
Israel
The nation of Israel has a special place in God's plan, and all of the promises of God to Israel will be fulfilled.
Jesus said, "Feed My sheep." John 21:17
