THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD

We are all about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We seek to live Gospel-centered lives, grow in relationship with others, shine the light of Christ to those around us, and share the Good News with them directly.

There are many ways to speak the Good News. One of methods we sometimes rely on is to use these five words: Relationship, Resist, Restore, Respond and Remain.

THE GOSPEL IN 5 WORDS

Relationship

God loves you and created you to have a personal relationship with him!

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body, and knit them together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex.” Psalm 139:13-14

“I know the plans I have for you. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

Resist

Even though God wants a relationship, we naturally resist him. Sin is our attitude of ignoring, or resisting God.

“Knowing what is right to do and then not doing it is sin.” James 4:17

“Yes all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious ideal.” Romans 3:23

“The trouble is that your sins have cut you off from God.” Isaiah 59:2

Restore

Only through Jesus can our relationship with God be restored.

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

“He died once for the sins of all us guilty sinners, although he himself was innocent of any sin at any time, that he might bring us safely home to God.” I Peter 3:18

Respond

We personally choose to trust Jesus as Savior and Lord.

“Now change your mind and attitude to God and turn to him so he can cleanse away your sins.” Acts 3:19

“To all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.” John 1:12

“And now just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust him, too, for each day’s problems. Live in vital union with him.” Colossians 2:6

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

Remain

A decision to follow Jesus begins a life-long journey.

“And now just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust him, too, for each day’s problems. Live in vital union with him” (Colossians 2:6).
