So, you made it to our “There Is Hope” page!

Whether you found us on our website because you were curious about this page, or you received a card and scanned the code, you are here for a reason.

Everybody places their hope in something. Whether it’s politics, money, friends and family, or even the church, we all look for something to put our trust in. Unfortunately, all of those things can, and often do, fail us. Yes, even the church sometimes fails. That’s why it’s important to place our hope in something—or better yet, Someone—who never fails.

That Someone is Jesus Christ.

The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

Every one of us has sinned against God. Our sin separates us from Him, and no amount of good works, religious activity, or trying to be a good person can earn our salvation.

But here is the good news: God loves us and has made a way for us to be saved! Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into this world and lived a sinless life. He willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and He rose again on the third day.

First Corinthians 15:3–4 explains the heart of the Gospel: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

Salvation is not something we can earn through our own efforts. Ephesians 2:8–9 says: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

God calls us to repent of our sins and put our faith in Jesus Christ. As Jesus said in Mark 1:15, “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

You don’t have to put your hope in things that will eventually fail you. You can put your hope in the One who conquered the grave. Jesus Christ is our hope—not because we are good enough, but because of who He is and what He has done for us. If you have questions about what it means to follow Jesus Christ, or if you would like to talk with someone about the hope He offers, we would love to hear from you. You don’t have to have everything figured out to reach out.
