Step 1

Salvation

Ephesians 2:8-9

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” 

Salvation comes by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. There is nothing we can do to earn our salvation. If you believe Jesus died on the cross for your sins, rose from the dead three days later, and repent of your sin, you will be saved. It is that simple, but that profound. It is all an act of God’s grace toward humanity. He loves us that much!

If you want to experience forgiveness, a meaningful existence, and the sure hope of eternal life, then pray this prayer. If you really mean it, you will be saved.

“Lord Jesus. I believe you died on the cross for my sins. I believe you rose from the dead three days later and I know I am a sinner. Please forgive me for my sins and come into my life. Thank you for saving me. Now help me to walk out my faith from day to day. In your name I pray. Amen.”

Step 3

Connecting with Others

Get involved in a strong Bible believing church or fellowship. If you have any questions about your new found relationship with the Lord, please contact us.

Develop positive relationships within a church or fellowship by reflecting on five characteristics:

Growth

Growth is evident when people are growing in their relationships with each other and God. Seek to attend service on Sunday. Look to find ways to serve in some capacity together. Seek to find what God is calling you to do in your church or fellowship.

Responsibility

Take responsibility for your part in relationships. Don’t blame others. Reach out to others. Be the reason that people are glad to see you when you enter a room.

Positivity

Take the time to speak positive and be encouraging to one another. Hold your tongue if what you are saying is negative. Especially be kind when speaking to others. The tongue can cut like a sword or build people up. Look for the positive and blessings in every situation. Express a thankful heart for work done by others.

Lightness

When things go wrong look for the lighter side and seek it out. Humor can be found every where. Seek it and share it with each other. Be a light to someone struggling by reaching out and shining the light in the darkness.

Direct

Communicate with others by listening to them and sharing with them in your person-to-person relationships. Stop gossip or complaints. If there is a misunderstanding, don’t assume go and ask seeking to understand the situation. If there is a problem, don’t blame or complain. What can you do to help?

How do you relate to others?

Step

Serving

The book of Acts describes the early Christian community that centered around unity, generosity, and love. Believers shared everything they had with one another and caring for each other’s needs and sharing the good news. As our faith deepens our desire to live out our beliefs in tangible ways can impact our community through service and mission. We should view service as an integral part of our worship. Step up to embrace opportunities for selfless ministry being an encouragement to all those we serve. 

Communal prayer demonstrates our faith in God’s ability to intervene. Believers come together in unity and interceding on behalf of others. A way to support believers and uplift one another in times of need. 

The Holy Spirit blesses each believer with spiritual gifts to serve God and tools essential for building up the body of Christ. Spiritual gifts are meant to edification of believers and ultimately glorifying God.
