Sin Separates You From the Presence of God Inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

Sin Condemns All PEOPLE For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3.23 The Bible tells us that all people have chosen to act out of their own desire.

Sin Brings the Penalty of Death For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6.23 Sin not only deserves punishment, but it earns a very specific penalty. Even if you grasp the fact that you are a sinner, and that your […]

PEACE
Pastor Jim Fikkert
A LIGHT bright enough to outshine darkness In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.| John 1.4-5 In order to experience the anticipation of Jesus coming, we have to know the PEACE that comes from being rescued. It […]

You Were Created Good See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes. Ecclesiastes 7.29 As we have seen, God created the whole world perfectly. This means that in its original design the world was formed in perfection, but also operated in perfection. In the words of […]
