Why another church? There are over a hundred churches in East Metro Atlanta ... yet a large majority of our residents do not attend any of them. WHY NOT? Church splits, politics, unbiblical teachings, hypocritical practices have led many to say "I'll never go to church again." We don't blame you. But we'd like to tell you that was not Jesus' fault! Jesus says that he came to seek and save and serve broken, hurting, sinful people. Sadly this mission and message have gotten lost in "Churchianity."

We'd also like to tell you the Good News - its better than you think!!!

He lived a PERFECT LIFE - He completely satisfied the requirements of God's Holy Law. He was perfect in his love and life - his character, motives and behaviors. He gives His perfect record to sinners like us so we can be accepted by a Holy God. Because of Jesus' perfect life, given to us (imputed righteousness), we are accepted, adopted and delighted in. Irrespecitve of our behavior we can hear the Father say "These are my children with whom I am well pleased."

He died a PERFECT DEATH - He gave his life as a ransom for sinners. Jesus' death perfectly paid the penalty our sins deserved. We committed the crimes against the Holy Law of God. The sentance has been determined. And Jesus paid it on our behalf (substitutionary atonement). Because of Jesus' death we can be sure that "God is not mad at me anymore." The guilt and shame have been removed. "There is now no condenmation for those who are in Christ Jesus"

He gave us His HOLY SPIRIT - After the resurrection, Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to work in those He saved. The Bible calls this being "born again," "made new," "new creations," and "a new nature." The Holy Spirit's job is to apply the gifts of God (forgiveness and a new life) to our hearts. The Bible urges us not to exhaust ourselves striving to get our behaviors right, but rather to "keep in step with the Spirit" and to "work out our salvation with fear and trembling because God is at work within us to want (desire) and act according to His good purpose." Because of the new Spirit at work within them, true Christians can relax from endless self-help and self-improvement and respond to the New Life* given to them.

* The LIFE Jesus gives

Like a beautiful diamond, the new Life the Lord imparts to us has many facets, but simplified, it satisfies our THREE most basic needs:

Our need for Spiritual Connection - the gospel is a message of reconciliation. We are reunited with God in a loving interactive relationship. We are reconnected to the spiritual world. There really is more than the here and now!

Our need for Intimacy - the gospel connects us to one-another. We are not only reunited to the Father, but we are also given brothers and sisters in a family driven by loving, serving and teaching one-another. You really can have the friendships you long for!

Our need for Meaning, Significance - the gospel enlists and equips us for a unique and satisfying place in the Father's Family business. Each person is given gifts and opportunities to serve others, improve the quality of life on our planet and leave a spiritual legacy - all to the praise and glory of the Lord! Your life does matter! You really can make a difference!
