What We Believe !!

WE BELIEVE IN
 
God the All Father – the Grand Designer of heaven and earth
Jesus Christ the Only Begotten One – the Word - and the virgin birth
Holy Spirit of God, the breath of God and essence of all life

WE BELIEVE THAT
 
the Man of Sorrows (Jesus Christ) was bruised for the iniquities of humankind
the Lamb of God was crucified on Calvary’s Hill
the tomb of Jesus Christ is empty from the Resurrection on the third and glorious day

WE BELIEVE

God sent His Holy Spirit to comfort and to reveal and to lead us into truth and light
that He is the High Judge of all men, small and great
that the resurrected souls of men from Him their fate receive
in the cosmic battle between Light and Dark
in the Return of the King!

WE BELIEVE

That God has prepared a great destiny for each of us and that those plans are for our very best future and the very best version of who we were born to be according to God’s master plan. We believe that the most powerful gift God gave Mankind was the free will to choose. And the greatest gift to the world is Jesus - the one called Christ.

Gods Love

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen (Ephesians 3:16-21).

Start Each Day with a grateful Heart...

Start each day with a grateful heart, for it is impossible not to be thankful for all he has done!!
His Love is so amazing and surrounds us, his grace covers us, his blood protects us and his angels watch over us coz he is just that awesome!!

So start each day by thanking Him for another day and that his will be done daily in your life for there is no better way to start a day!

The Love of Christ

For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~ Romans 8:38-39 

Faith

The eyes of faith when fixed on Christ
Give hope for what’s ahead,
But focus on life’s obstacles
And faith gives way to dread. —D. De Haan

Rom 5:17

MUCH MORE those that receive the abundance of Grace, and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life.

Daily Inspiration

To have God's constant nearness and blessing in your life you just have to show God great respect and accept His rules for your life. This is the core of our faith. Oasis

19 reasons Jesus understands your pain and 1 reason you ought to consider serving Him.

  1. He was the victim of malicious rumours from within the womb, considered a “bastard child”.
  2. He saw the suffering His mother endured at the hands of gossipers.
  3. He was not born in a hospital, or a house, but in a farm stable in an animals feeding trough.
  4. The day He was born Herod, inspired by Satan tried to murder Him.
  5. He grew with the pressure of knowing He had a special calling on His life that meant He had to be different to the other children and young men in Nazareth.
  6. He was raised in the ghetto of Nazareth, he know’s what it is to live in a rough neighbourhood.
  7. He only ever taught and did good and yet people said He was possessed with a devil.
  8. His closest disciple sold Him out for money, betraying Him with a kiss on the cheek (the kiss of death).
  9. His closest friends whose feet He washed the muck off ran away at the first sign of trouble.
  10. He was subjected to an illegal trail by night before supposedly men of God.
  11. False witnesses blatantly lied against Him contradicting each other with their lies, yet He remained silent.
  12. He was held in prison and moved from court to court yet He had done nothing worthy of being charged.
  13. He had the power to call 10,000 angels from Heaven to destroy the Roman Empire and yet He held His peace when standing before Pontius Pilate (today Pilate the judge is dead, yet Jesus sits on the Judgement Throne of Heaven forever).
  14. He was not a criminal and yet he humbled Himself to carry a cross–the emblem of a crook–for you and for me.
  15. He did not back out of going to the Cross despite being the Father of Time, He kept walking for you and I.
  16. Only one of His closest friends came to His crucifixion: Peter, James, Andrew etc. where not there for Him.
  17. In the midst of the anguish of being crucified He was able to witness to the thieves He was stuck between.
  18. In the midst of His pain and rejection He was able to pray and connect with God, interceding on our behalf.
  19. He came to earth, taking on humanity, to save us and we crucified Him.
  20. Despite all He has endured He is still offering eternal life to anyone who wants it.

I follow Jesus...not religion!

Many Young people today believe that following Jesus and being a christian today means that you basically have to stop living your life due to all the Stereotypes surrounding Christianity today...HOWEVER that is not the case!!

Instead of thinking of Christianity as a religion, think of it as a way of life...
Religion comes with a bunch of useless laws not made up by God but by man,  which you have to follow which basically will  make you feel that your not worthy of the LOVE of God or the blessings he has in store for you. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!! All God wants is for you to Love him and tell people about him.

Just because you follow Jesus does not mean you have to stop living your life,why would God want that?? When all he wants is whats best for YOU.

So yes you can have a life, hang out with friends, have fun, see the world...
It doesn't make sense to live in a world and not know whats happening in the world...how else are you going to reach non believers and tell the world how Awesome God Is.

God doesn't care what you look like, where you come from, or about your past...what matters is that you believe that his son Jesus died on a cross for YOU and paid for all your sins so that you might live today. That alone is one AWESOME reason to love Him!

As a young person, following God can be an amazing thing... to experience and feel the love of God can make a big difference in your life and your future.

So give this Jesus a chance to intervene in your life and there is no doubt that he will show up and show off !!
