God loves you.  It’s true, more true than anything else you or I will ever know.  God, the one who created and rules the universe, sent his one and only Son because he loves you.  We know this because of the life, death and resurrection of that Son he sent, Jesus Christ.

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.  But God demonstrates his own love to us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”   Romans 5:6-8

Jesus has shown us the love of God and invites us to experience that love.  Jesus says, “Here I am!  I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with them, and they with me.”  Revelation 3:20

You can accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior simply by asking Christ into your heart through prayer.  In this prayer, we say we are sorry for the times we have turned away from God, we thank God for all that he has done, and we ask Christ to please come into our hearts and change our lives forever.

When you first become a Christian pray this prayer, but don’t stop there.  We pray this over and over again in our Christian journeys and we gather as Christ’s church to support one another in this walk.  God called the church into being to encourage one another to grow as faithful disciples of Christ and to be sent as the body of Christ into the world.

If you are beginning to know Jesus for the first time, or coming back to him once again, we invite you to come and get to know Jesus together with us.  Wherever you are at in your faith journey, surround yourself with the body of Christ and be loved, be encouraged, be sent.  God loves you.
