JESUS CHANGES EVERYTHING
THERE'S NOTHING BETTER
THAN KNOWING JESUS
There truly is no life like the life of knowing Jesus. Jesus said that He "came that you may have life, and have it abundantly"
(John 10:10). Jesus wants to give us new life, a life very different from the life we live without Him.
Jesus also said in John 8:36 that "if the Son sets you free, you really will be free." Jesus sets us free from sin, from death, free to live for Him and free to be used by God and serve Him in this world.
The life of the one who knows Jesus is one of joy, of peace, of contentment, knowing that our greatest problem, our sin problem, has been forever taken care of at the cross of Jesus Christ. It is a life people who do not know Him can never understand.
The good news is that you can ask God to help you to understand, to help you to know this life. You can ask Him to show you this life, and God will not turn anyone away who comes to Him.

JOHN 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
WHO IS JESUS?
JESUS IS GOD AND HUMAN
Jesus is God but He took on humanity. He walked on this earth just like we do. See John 1:1, 5:17-18, and Philippians 2:5-11. The eternal Son of God, Jesus, already existed in heaven before coming to earth (see John 17:5), but then was born to a virgin through the power of the Holy Spirit (see Matthew 1:20).
JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.
Here’s the bad news, we have all sinned (Romans 3:23) against holy, righteous God, but this is why Jesus came. In Luke 5:32, Jesus said, "I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners." Jesus came to pay the penalty for our sin on the cross. It was through His death on the cross that Jesus satisfied sin’s payment to the Father for all who believe in Him.
JESUS CHANGES LIVES.
People who followed Jesus turned away from their old life of sin and turn to God. Jesus delivered people from demon oppression like Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:2). He called people like Matthew, who was a despised tax collector (Matthew 9:9). He called ordinary people like a fisherman named Peter (Matthew 4:18). For nearly 2,000 years, Jesus Christ has been changing the lives of people all over the world from one who chases their own desires to one who follow Him. He can do this for you too!
JESUS LIVES IN HEAVEN AT FATHER GOD’S RIGHT HAND.
After Jesus rose from the dead, He went to heaven to the place where he was with the Father prior to coming to earth. From there he is able to hear our prayers (Romans 8:34).
JESUS CHRIST WILL RECEIVE YOU IF YOU COME TO HIM.
Jesus said, He would not turn anyone away who wants to come to Him (John 6:37). He gave Himself for you, to transform your life. No one is too far gone as long as they draw breath. Today is the day of salvation. Reach out to us.
ROMANS 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
