OUTREACH

A Purpose Worth Pursuing
Sometimes life feels like a treadmill — we put in lots of effort to move, but in the end we don't get very far. The Bible talks about things that matter, not just for earth, but for eternity. So often we plan our lives and then ask God to come alongside to help us. In reality, it's far more exciting to find out what God has planned, and then join Him in doing something that makes a lasting impact.

How to Know God
1. Realize that you are a sinner.
No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fail miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. We all fall short of God's desire for us to be holy. The Bible says, "No one is good—not even one." Romans 3:10 NLT This is because we cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.

2. Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.
The Bible tells us, "But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." Romans 5:8 NLT This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.

3. Repent of your sin.
The Bible tells us to "repent and be converted." Acts 3:19 NKJV
The word "repent" means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.

4. Receive Jesus Christ into your life.
Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in. . . ." Revelation 3:30 NKJV

If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, please talk with one of our Ministers, Elders, Deacons or a church member. They are here as Brothers and Sisters in Christ to share their faith in Christ with you.
