following strong foundational Pillars.
-
We Are NOT ashamed of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ.
• “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
• “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
• “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)
• “That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:26-27)
-
We have a PASSION for the lost.
• “Do to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:18-20)
• “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
• “But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (2 Timothy 4:5)
-
We BELIEVE in the power of Prayer.
• “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16)
• “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” (Ephesians 6:18)
• “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
• “Pray without ceasing.” (I Thessalonians 5:17)
-
We are CHEERFUL givers.
• “But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:6-7)
• “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.” (Malachi 3:10)
-
We WORSHIP Him in Spirit and in Truth.
• Worship is obedience through faith. It is our lifestyle, how we live before God and others. Corporate praise is our expression of joy towards God who has saved, healed, delivered and forgiven our sins.
• “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 3:17-18)
• “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.” (Hebrews 13:15)
• “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” (Psalm 100:4)
• “Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:19)
• “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” (Psalm 150:6)
• “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Therefore, put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:1-17)
what does our logo mean?
Our logo represents the journey of LIFE from bondage, through the wilderness and to freedom in the promised land. The three brush strokes of RED refer to the children of Israel when they were set free from Egypt and its Pharoah through obedience to God. Moses warned of the death angel that would visit the first born of each house. The people of God were told to place the blood of a perfect sacrificial lamb over the doorposts and lintel of their homes. This was a sign to the death angel to pass by them. That night the death angel took the life of the first born of each house. After this Pharoah let God’s people go free… into their wilderness season.
The three brush strokes of light gray & dark gray represent the wilderness that we may go through in life. It stands for the fight against God that occurs when we struggle to change our character before Him. And just as the children of Israel rebelled often in the wilderness, we may experience this fight too, but all the while knowing that God is guiding us by day with a cloud and fire by night like He did the children of Israel. He will never leave us nor forsake us.
The three strokes of black represent the sin that we carried before we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. It is a reminder that we are free from bondage because of the blood of the Lamb. The white circle represents the all-encompassing love of God that never ends. Just as He loved the people of Israel, and never gave up on them, He loves us just the same.
The three brush strokes of green represent the promise land that the children of Israel were destined to enter. We are also destined to enter our promised land of Salvation and the Kingdom of Heaven when Christ saves us. And finally, the red T represents Christs blood laid over all of it. Nothing was made possible without His gracious, loving, and perfect sacrifice on the cross. Jesus is the only way to God the Father and He made reconciliation possible with His LIFE, DEATH, & RESURRECTION.
