WE ARE HOPE-FILLED, REACHING THE HOPELESS WITH GOSPEL HOPE.

“Since, then, we have such a hope, we act with great boldness.” — 2 Corinthians 3:12

We are hope-filled…

    • BELIEVING - repenting from sin and trusting in Jesus alone

        • “If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.” — Romans 10:9-10

    • OBEYING - daily reading and applying God’s Word

        • “But be doers of the word and not hearers only.” — James 1:22

    • PRAYING - relying on the Holy Spirit through prayer

        • “Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.” — Hebrews 4:16

    • CONNECTING - engaging with others in the gathering of believers

        • “Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.” — Hebrews 10:23-25

…reaching the hopeless with gospel hope.

    • STEWARDING - generously investing in the Mission of God

        • “Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.” — 1 Peter 4:10

    • WITNESSING - boldly sharing the gospel with others

        • “In Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.” — 1 Corinthians 5:19-20

    • GUIDING - intentionally helping others become more like Jesus

        • “We proclaim him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. I labor for this, striving with his strength that works powerfully in me.” — Colossians 1:28-29
