We preach and teach the gospel! We preach the gospel to the lost and teach believers to follow Christ through this gospel. We believe the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation and we believe that the message of the cross is the gospel.
Man is justified by God and is freed from the dominion of sin by grace through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Furthermore, we believe that Christians can continuously walk in victory over sin by the power of God through His Holy Spirit provided they place their faith, exclusively, in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
We preach the gospel in accordance with 1 Corinthians 1:17,18 and 2:1-5: not with excellent speeches and persuasive words or of wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power so that people's faith would not be established on the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:17,18 KJV
“For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom ofwords, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 KJV
“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
