Church
Doctrine
I guess you could say our “doctrine”
is a culmination of several thousand years of
God’s instruction. We take the Bible
as God’s inspired Word, and treat it
with utmost respect and reverence.
Looking at the Bible from beginning
to end (Genesis to Revelations), teaches us that
God created all things, He created man and woman,
they sinned, and the rest of the Bible shows how
God worked to redeem us and give us the means
to achieve eternal life.
We believe that this reward
is given only by God’s grace, and we can’t
claim it on our own. Heaven is ours only if we
tap into the salvation that God’s son, Jesus,
gives to us through his death, burial and resurrection.
Christ died for our sin, so that we can be saved
through baptism and devoting our lives to God.
We meet on each first day of
the week, as the New Testament church met, shown
in scripture. We partake of the Lord’s supper,
as he commanded his apostles do before his death.
We sing, teach and study together, as we have
been instructed by Christ’s apostles.
We try to abstain from sin,
encourage one another to love and good works,
and work to learn all we can about what God requires
of us. One of the most important requirements,
is to teach and save the lost.
Look around, see how wicked
the world has become, and note that the absence
of religion and faith is no coincidence. Our objective
is to let the world know that there is a God,
he is alive, and he has demands that must be met.
To miss out on God’s demands gives us an
miserable eternal punishment.
