Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

Psalms 41:1 – 41:13

  1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
  2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
  3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
  4 I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
  5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
  6 And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
  7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
  8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
  9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
  10 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
  11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
  12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
  13 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
