Something Greater Than Self
There is something greater than self. There is one, true God, and He cares about you
consider this
There are so many distractions in the world today. Culture is so fast paced that we sometimes fail to stop and actually think. Do you take the time to ask questions about the meaning of life? Is there something greater than self?
Why am I here?
Is there a purpose for my life?
Is there a purpose for my life?
You Were Created
You are not here by chance. You created by God, made in His image (Genesis 1:27). God has a plan and a purpose for your life. There are things that only YOU can accomplish for the Kingdom of God!
You Are Loved
Our minds cannot comprehend how much the God of the Universe loves His creation. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross to set you free from the punishment of sin and death. When you experience the love of God, it changes you forever (John 3:16).
You Are Here On Earth To Glorify God!
Some say that life is, "You’re born, you live, you die." It has been said, "Your life is the dash between the day you are born and the day you die." Both statements are true, but the greater question is what will you do with your time here on earth? When you realize who Jesus is and what He did for you on the cross of Calvary, you can’t help but praise Him for His goodness!
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
John 1:14
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
“This one, true God, the God of Israel, became part of His creation in the form of Jesus Christ. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Jesus became human to relate us.
“Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of humanity.”
Philippians 2:6-7
Hebrews 11:6
God is real!
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
FOLLOWING JESUS
Read Your Bible
Getting started can be intimidating. There are so many translations, where do I start?! Start with the one that you will read! After you fall in love with the Word of God, you can then start to compare translations, but if you aren’t reading anything, you are missing the mirror that gives you understanding of who you were created to be! Check out – NKJV, NLT, ESV and other versions to get started.
Pray
Prayer is a conversation. It’s talking to Jesus! Don’t worry about saying the right things, it is the condition of the heart. Ask Him questions and wait for an answer. Be real with Him. He doesn’t need you to wear a mask in His Presence. He knows the "real you" anyway. Praise Him! Share your struggles. Share your joys. He hears you!
Join A Church Family
As Christians, we need to be in community. It’s not about a social club; it is about growing together in the things of God. It is about being around mature Christians to be mentored by, and when you are ready, to mentor others as you have been mentored.
Get Baptized
When we are baptized in water, we go into the water one way and come out another! There is a spiritual transaction that takes place. It is an expression of your sins being washed away. Get water baptized. It can be done in a bathtub or in a church. What matters is the condition of your heart!
Tell Others About Jesus
"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8). Now that you have been given the gift of eternal life, it is now your privilege to share this Good News with others. You don’t need to go to seminar after seminar to start. Just start! Pray in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ for healing. Pray for people to receive a touch from the Holy Spirit and experience the love of God. It is already in you! Tell people your testimony. No one can deny what God has done in your life! Share Jesus!
We Are Here
For You.
For You.
