The kingdom of God is centered on the rule and the reign of Christ.
Belief in Him is more than belief regarding facts ABOUT Him, but in the rightness of His Lordship over our lives.

Quite literally the Sabboth was declared holy FROM THE BEGINNING. We know that Sabboth was most likely our modern day “Saturday”, but our Lord was risen on what we call Sunday, so it seems appropriate.
In addition to this, we worship on “Sunday” out of convenience because we believe Jesus’ words which teach us, “Man was not made for the Sabbath but the Sabbath for man.” As such, Sunday is the day MOST OFTEN recognized as the day to worship within Christian circles so that is when we have our main service of the week.
We use this day as the day we press forward as a community of believers into Biblical teachings which our leaders believe God is immediately guiding us into for our maturity and Spiritual growth. We do not have Sunday night services in part due to the fact that we do not want time constraints to dictate our worship.

Jesus became the embodiment of these types and shadows. He was the TRUE “bread from heaven” as is recorded in John 6.
Today we investigate the connection between communion, dying with Christ, rising with Christ as well as hungering and thirsting for Him!
Continue reading→Our belief in Jesus’ death and resurrection is based upon the fulfilled prophecies of the Old Testament and the eye-witness accounts of those who saw Him after His resurrection.
His resurrection impacts us when we enter into His death with Him.
There are three deaths and three resurrections – spirit, soul and body and they cannot be experienced in any other order.

This year we’ve focused more on NOT repeated their mistakes by honoring Jesus as our Messiah, God & King through sincere love OF Him, a deep and abiding reverence FOR Him, unwavering trust IN Him followed by absolute obedience TO Him!
