Come to church to meet Jesus, because he gives eternal life through the gospel.
Jesus came to take our sins away and pay for them all by his suffering and death. He is the one who brings us close to God.
You and I can believe in God as confidently as if we had seen him with our own eyes. This is faith.
We have proof that God does care about you. No matter what bad things happen to you, he gave his own Son for you.
God wants to show us blessings greater than anything we’ve ever experienced. Open your Bible and think about those things.
God works through the words of the Bible. He wants to create and strengthen faith in you, forgive you, give you a new life, and empower you to accomplish impressive things. He exercises that power in his promise.
We can’t understand everything about God. But we can understand what he has revealed. Read the Bibe and listen to some Bible-based preaching. You’ll grow in your understanding of who God is and what he does.
It’s hard to find relief from guilt for the mistakes we’ve made, to find rest from the things we haven’t accomplished. When you’re tired of all that, go to Jesus.
Jesus says that to follow him, we must deny ourselves and take up our cross. It's hard to take up our cross!
A more biblical statement would be, “God helps those who cannot help themselves.”
Jesus says we should want a pastor to talk to us about him. We all need someone to tell us that good news. Jesus considers that to be a basic necessity, so he tells you to ask him for someone to talk to you about him.
If you think Jesus came to help good people, you are wrong. Jesus said that he did not come to help good people. He came to save sinners.
He is three times holy, because God is three-in-one. He is the God who created you, who redeemed you, and who has called you to be holy.
When you know Jesus, you will have the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Rivers of spiritual water will flow from within you.
The best way for families to show moms our love is for us to obey them willingly when they’re telling us to do what’s good for the family.
That’s what Jesus wants, too.
The way to meet famous people is for someone who knows them to introduce you to them. The most important person for you to meet is God.
