Our
faith centers on the saving death and glorious resurrection of
Jesus Christ, who is the Son of the one
true God and who, with The Holy Spirit is the full presentation of God in
three separate persons.
The authority
for that faith is
The Bible, both the Old and New
Testaments. The Old Testament looks to the coming of Jesus, and the New
Testament recounts his Life, Death and
Resurrection. The scripture promises that one day he will return in glory
to establish his Kingdom forever. We believe that the Holy
Scriptures contain all things necessary for life and salvation. The
Bible determines our teaching at Christ The King.
The Gospel
The
Good News of
the Christian faith is that even though all have sinned and fallen short
of the glory of God, Jesus’ death and resurrection has made it possible
for us to be forgiven, saved, and restored to the glorious life intended
for us. We who were separated from God can know him personally by
receiving his free gift of salvation and trusting in his goodness and
mercy. We are never “good enough” to earn our salvation, but we can be
sure of eternal life by putting our trust in Jesus Christ.
Spirit Filled Living
The Holy Spirit
is given to all who confess Jesus is Lord. He seeks to change us and make
us more like Christ in every way. He develops in us godly characteristics
like love, joy, patience, peace, and humility. He also empowers us to
live for God and be free from sin. We are given gifts and abilities for
ministry. We believe that the ministries of the Holy Spirit seen in the
New Testament are good gifts that God still gives to Christians today. We
believe that God still desires to pour out his life into us.
