Here’s the [Gospel] message in four parts: 1. God, who is perfectly holy, just, and good, created us to display His glorious character and rule. 2. We rebelled, choosing to display our own glory and follow our own rule, earning God’s just wrath against such sin. 3. God sent His Son to reestablish God’s rule by living the perfect God-imaging life, dying on the cross to pay the penalty for God’s wrath against sin, and rising in victory over sin and death. 4. We are now called to repent of our sinful self-rule, confess Jesus as Lord, put our trust wholly in His finished work on the cross, and live the obedient and free life He means for us to live.

A Message from our Provider:

“No one knows the pain of rejected love like Jesus”

Some theological writers have ingeniously drawn an analogy between creation and providence, atonement and intercession; that just as Providence is the sustaining of the creative work – so that if Christ’s continual upholding arm were withdrawn, the outer material world would soon lapse into disorganization – so, the intercession of Jesus is the carrying out, and carrying on, of His propitiatory and mediatorial work – the complement of the great salvation consummated on Calvary.
