Rediscovering the Essentials of Faith

What really matters in life? In Philippians 1:10, Paul writes, “I want you to understand what really matters.” In today's world, we face countless distractions, confusion, and noise. This can make it challenging to focus on the essentials of our faith. So, how do we get back to what truly matters in following Jesus?

Join us this July for a transformative journey with guest pastor Jamie Allen. He will lead us through a powerful four-week sermon series called “Essentials.” Together, we will explore the foundational steps of faith using a simple yet impactful framework: Believe, Repent, Confess, and Be Baptized.

What You Can Expect

Every Sunday, we will dive deep into one of the essential elements of our faith. Here’s a brief overview of what each week will cover:

🔹 July 6 – Believe: What does it mean to truly believe in Jesus?

🔹 July 13 – Repent: What is repentance and why is it essential to salvation?

🔹 July 20 – Confess: What does it look like to confess Jesus as Lord?

Exploring Each Essential

Believe: A Deep Commitment

Believing in Jesus goes beyond mere acknowledgment. It’s about having faith in Him and trusting His promises. This belief is the foundation of our spiritual journey. It's about understanding who Jesus is and what He means to our lives.

Repent: A Change of Heart

Repentance is crucial to our walk with God. It signifies a turning away from sin and a redirection towards God. During the second week of the series, we will explore the significance of repentance and how it leads to true salvation.

Confess: A Public Declaration

Confessing Jesus as Lord is an essential step in our faith journey. It’s not just an internal belief; it’s a public declaration of our faith. In the third week, we will discuss what it means to confess Jesus and how this act shapes our identity as believers.

Be Baptized: The Power of New Life

Baptism represents a commitment to follow Jesus. It signifies our acceptance of His grace and our willingness to live for Him. In the final week, we will delve into the purpose of baptism and the transformative power it holds in our lives.
