YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE

We are spiritual beings having a human experience…

God loves the world so much, that He sent His only Son in order to commence His ultimate plan of renewal and restoration. Jesus was sent into the world, to become the mediator between God & man, and in Him, we have been reconciled to God. God gives His Holy Spirit to dwell in those that have Christ; the Spirit then leads us into further relationship with the Father and empowers us to live for God. It’s important to have a personal relationship with Jesus outside of Church services. We were never meant to just ATTEND a Church, but we are actually meant to BECOME the Church. This requires us to work on building a deep connection with God and His people through the local Church.

MATTHEW 11:28-30

“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”

BIBLE

The Bible is the Word of God. It empowers us to have a strong & vital relationship with God and it is used so we can hear from Him. A person who does not read God’s Word regularly will become weak and ‘spiritually dead’. In order for us to be spiritually healthy, we must follow the example of Job who valued God’s Word more than food!

JOB 23:12

“I have not departed from the commands of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.”

ROMANS 10:17

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word about Christ.”

An audio bible is also another great way to receive the Word of God. You can listen to it on your way to work or school using the “YouVersion” bible app, which you can easily download onto your phone.
