YOUR REASON TO LIVE
WHAT WE BELIEVE
WORLD SCOPE
LETTER TO MY NEIGHBORS

Love is Your Answer
First Epistle of John 4:16, "And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love...." If you truly believe in that love, your life will be totally changed. You will love God as your Father. You will love yourself, and because you love Jesus as your King and you love yourself, you will love others, especially the ones who are hard to love.
What Is Your Reason To Live

What is Your Life Worth?

I can prove to you that you were created for something better than you have ever experienced. You were created for something of more honor, more power, and more love than you have ever known.

You were created for greatness, for love, for honor. You were created for health… physical health and emotional health. You were never created to be sick or to be dominated by bad habits or sin or negative thinking. Today, you can change the course of your nature and begin to experience healing and happiness. Your purpose is more than you have ever imagined. You can find it. I know because Jesus proved to me that He changes lives like yours and mine…for the better. Do you know that you are "damaged goods"? We are all damaged, but there is an answer.

Jesus, the Son of God, is alive, and if He is alive, then He will do today - what He did when He was on the earth. Jesus rose from the dead, proving who He is. Jesus said to know God, you must believe He is the Son of God, risen from the dead. Once you believe, miracles are possible in your life. The first thing God does, is to declare that you are His child. Next, God breathes His life into your heart. Then, your sins fall away from you forever! New power, new love, new dreams, new life, and new peace come inside of you. Your inward being is actually created in the image of God, in the likeness and nature of Jesus Christ.

When you believe, Jesus washes away all your sins, and He will heal your body also. When He was on earth, He healed everyone who believed in Him. Since He is alive today, Jesus will heal all who believe He heals. He has healed me many times, and others have been healed of every disease, even cancer and paralysis.

If you were in prison, and someone could let you out, would you let them? If you do not believe in Jesus as King, then you are already in prison and you may not even know it! Not believing in Jesus keeps you in prison. God has a right to be angry with us. We have rejected Him and called His way "bad". Now God says, "I have punished Jesus with death, in your place, and have raised Him from the dead to make peace with you." God is love. Choose love today or your own sins will kill you. By not choosing God's way out, you are choosing your own suicide.

God now offers you peace and AMNESTY. Amnesty means that all your past wrongs are forgiven and forgotten, if you will come now to God and His Kingdom before your death. When a country offers AMNESTY, it says come back and live in society, in your country, and we will not punish you for your past wrongs. God is offering you amnesty. He says to you, "Come, live in my family. Live in my Kingdom." God says that He will be our Father and will never punish us for our wrongs against Him, and against people, if we will live with His Spirit in our heart and in our life. Our RECORDS are expunged. This means our RECORDS of wrongs are erased. They no longer exist. This is what we need for peace with God.

We are a new church that is here to love you and show you the real Jesus. Today is a new day for you. Jesus Christ is your only hope for a better tomorrow. Life is what you live on the inside of you. It is not what you possess; it is not your job; it is not based upon your accomplishments. God is love and when you experience this love in your heart, then you are truly living, then you are successful, then you are in the winner's circle, then your life is complete. You will love Jesus, you will love yourself, and you will love other people. This is God's way. You are saved from the death that your sins bring upon you now, which is spiritual death, and you will be saved later from physical death - when your body is raised from the dead in God's eternal Kingdom with a new glorified-stronger body.

Our church is casual in dress. Come as you are. We are real and down-to-earth. We are "working" people with jobs just like you. God has given us a message for people - like you - whom He loves. Our music is full of life, and our message will change you from the inside. Get ready for the new you in Jesus.

Visit us on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at Gospel Harvest Church 7071 103rd Street, Meeting in the Hospitality Inn at 103rd St. & I-295. We dress casual in everyday clothes. Church Telephone (904) 781-3927.

If you want to know Jesus today, and to be saved from your sins and your faults, and to be truly free, then all you have to do is come by faith to Jesus Christ now and pledge your allegiance. Pledging means the following:

1) You will openly admit to anyone that you belong to Jesus.
2) You will follow Jesus all the days of your life seeking to please Him in all that you think, say, and do...through His power...and accepting His grace and mercy when you fall short.
3) You will read the Bible (especially the New Testament) so that you know how to follow Him.
4) You will learn of God's Spirit in your heart to find the source of power to live a good Christian life.
5) You will find a church that teaches Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, and where believers are born again.

You won't have to do this alone either. When you pledge your loyalty to Jesus, God joins your life to His and helps you find His plan for your life. God will bring good things to your life, working in your spiritual heart. Jesus calls the life that He brings "abundant life." This is all free. You do not work for it. By faith, you accept Jesus as your King because He earned it for you. God gives you the power and the ability to know Him, to follow Jesus, and to enter into fellowship with Him. Best of all, God will give you His peace, and true love, and a feeling of real freedom. You will have a new joy in your heart that is present both now and forever. You must decide. Will you believe? Will you enter the court of heaven by prayer and turn away from following your own way? Pray this prayer in faith, if you will be forgiven of your turning away from God and His love.

"Jesus, be the King of my life. I pledge my loyalty to you alone. I will follow you, and serve you, all the days of my life. Jesus, I believe that you lived on the earth, died on the cross, and you are alive from the dead. God, I ask that you accept me as your child, and I now accept by faith that I am born again into your family. I accept your Holy Spirit into my heart to be my strength and my guide as I follow your truth in Jesus Christ. Thank you, Father God, that I am saved."

See A Bible: Luke (chapter) 14: (verses) 16-23; John 8:24; Romans 5:1,6-10; John 8:44 and verse 47; Romans 3:19,23,24; II-Corinthians 4:3-6; Acts 26:18; Acts 17: 30-31; I-John 5:10-13 & I-John 5:19 (the Bible has 4 "Johns"); Colossians 1:13,14; John 3:6-7; Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 1:10-12; I-Corinthians 2:12; and Luke 11:23. See the index in your Bible to find these verses.

If I took myself to the place I deserve, I would take myself to the cross of Jesus, but too late, He has already died in my place. Now, I don't have to die. I am forgiven. Now is the time to forgive myself and to forgive others.
What is God like? Look at the cross of Jesus. He died so I wouldn't have to be lost from Him. He died so I could be healed...when I believe His word on healing with bible faith, or the God-kind of faith, that calls things which are not as though they are. See Romans 4:17.
