We are a group of seekers & believers who are wanting to have a closer relationship with God, to encourage each other in this journey, and to reach out into the Paulden community (and the world) to share God's love and who He is. Everyone is welcome.
We teach the Bible verse by verse and line by line, using scripture to explain scripture.
What we believe:
- "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof , for correction, for instruction in righteousness
(2 Timothy 3:16)."
- The Biblical creation in Genesis chapter 1 was completed in six literal days- 24 hours in each day. (Genesis 1).
- There is only one God who exists in three expressions/ways/persons- God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is often referred as the "Trinity," and though this truth can't be fully grasped, as a matter of faith we believe and accept that we serve a "very big" God (Matthew 3:16-17).
- The word "sin" means to "miss the mark" like that of an arrow in missing a target. All of us are born with this sin-nature and it's that nature that separates us from truly having a healthy relationship with God here in this life; that sin-nature can eternally separate us from God after each of us dies. There's awesome news though, often referred to as the Gospel, which states that Jesus came to Earth, paid for/took care of the sins of each and every one of us by rising from a tomb/grave three days after He was crucified on a Roman cross. Jesus did this so that we can have an eternal relationship/life with God; likewise, to show that He has power over death. What Jesus did is a gift- we can't earn eternal life with God by doing "good deeds" or from our own efforts/works. We must simply accept the gift of Jesus and follow Him. We can have peace, confidence, and faith in the completed work of Jesus that was done for each and every one of us. (John 3:16).
God has great plans for those that follow Him, so let's follow Him together and share this with others (Jeremiah 29:11).
