Jesus

As a Church, we are passionate about Jesus. Let me briefly introduce you to Him.

When God created the world, he made it perfect. He also gave clear instructions to the first humans on earth, to avoid eating from a certain tree. Unfortunately, humans went against those instructions and brought sin into the world. This caused a separation between humanity and God (what we as Christians, call sin).  The Bible (which Christians believe is divinely given to us by God), explains that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God and that the punishment for this sin is death.

But God loved us so much, that he doesn’t want us to experience this! He made us for relationship with Him and is committed to that. Therefore, he sent Jesus, His only son, into the world, so we wouldn’t have to face the punishment for our wrongdoing!

Jesus led a perfect life, but took our punishment of death on a cross. Amazingly, three days later he rose again, having conquered death!!

He did this so that we don’t have to live apart from God anymore, but instead, we can live in relationship with Him. We can simply admit our wrongdoings and ask Jesus to forgive us for them, which we know He will. We can also ask him to help us live as he wants us to and believe he will help us to do so.
