HOPE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES
FOUNDATIONS
Our desire is to see you grow and discover your maximum potential in every area of your life.
In our Christian Education classes we strive to develop character so that lives may be transformed by the teaching of God’s word. It is through the word of God individuals are able to strengthen their relationship with God.
We come together on Thursday Nights to be taught, trained and be transformed through the teaching and studying of God’s word. Personal study, group discussion, reflection, and Q & A are just some of the ways we engage folks in the word of God.
We offer a free personal one on one Bible Study for those looking to learn more about the Bible and who have a desire to follow Jesus.
The Bible is essential to knowing God and His will for our lives. There is a big difference when it comes to knowing about God and having a personal relationship with him. Few people know God on a personal level.
The Bible is our guide or road map to foundational truth. It teaches about creation, the origin of sin, morality, and salvation etc.
GOING DEEPER
Once you have made a decision to serve the Lord, the steps to having a deeper relationship are as follows:
You realize that you have sinned; you have done things that displease God. You have been following your own desires, not God’s commands. But you see that God loves you and that He is reaching out to help you.
You repent, you feel sorry about the way you have lived. You make a commitment to turn away from every sin and follow the ways of God. (Acts 3:19)
You are baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission, or washing a way of your sins. In baptism your old life is symbolically “buried”, and you rise to live a new life. (Act 2:38)
You receive the gift of God spirit to live in you, enabling you to resist temptation and sin, to understand God’s power. (Acts 2:4)
You continue to live every day in a way that is holy, seeking the leading of God in your words and actions. You enjoy His presence, His joy, His blessings as you reach out to meet the needs of others, and by your example, help them to know God.
