Christianity tells the story
of the whole world & offers the best possible explanation for life. The
Bible reveals a grand narrative, one that explains the foundational questions
of life: where we came from, who we are, what has gone wrong in our world, what
the solution is, and where we & everything is going.

Creation

In the beginning, the
all-powerful, personal God created the universe. God created human beings in
His image to live joyfully in His presence, and humble submission to His
gracious authority.

Fall

All of us have rebelled
against God & His laws, this is called sin. The consequences of sin
resulted in broken relationships between us & God, & between one
another. The punishment for our rebellion results in physical death &
God’s wrath.

Redemption

Thankfully, God initiated a
rescue plan, by sending forth His Son born of a woman in the Person of Jesus
Christ. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life that we failed to live. Then He
suffered the consequences of human rebellion by His death on a cross. Three
days later God raised Him from the dead in fulfillment of the Scriptures. Our
broken relationship with God & others can now be restored because of Jesus.
And we can now live a life of ongoing transformation.

Now the church of Jesus
Christ has been commissioned by God to take this good news of Jesus Christ to
the whole world. Empowered by God’s Spirit, the church calls all people
everywhere to repent of their sins & to trust in Jesus alone for forgiveness.

Restoration

The Bible promises that Jesus
Christ will return to this earth as the conquering King. Only those who live in
repentant faith in Christ will escape God’s judgment & live joyfully in
God’s presence for all eternity. God’s message is the same to all of us: repent
& believe, before it’s too late. God promises that, “If you confess with
your mouth that Jesus is Lord & believe in your heart that God raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved.”
