What is the Gospel Message?
The Gospel Message is that Jesus Christ is alive and present in the midst of all who gather
in his Name.
He is present to be our Heavenly Prophet, Lord, Shepherd, King, Bishop, Saviour,
Counselor, Leader, Guide and Teacher
He is able to teach us God's righteousness and lead us out from sin.
When we gather together in the name of Jesus, there are 3 important consequences;
- We know the worship that belongs to the New Covenant, of which Christ is truly the Leader of.
As we wait upon him, he is present in our midst to teach us and empower us in God's Righteous, so that we may know and obey God. This is the worship in Spirit and in Truth
that Jesus speaks of
- We know the true ministry of the New Covenant. As Christ Jesus empowers all his people, all may be called to minister to the church, regardless of social status or gender or race.
All are equal in God's eyes.
- As we are taught by Christ to live in obediance to God, we become that Righteous Community, the Community of God's Ordering, that "city that is set upon a hill that
cannot be hid...". This Community is the radical disciple Church,
because it hears and obeys the Voice of God, through Jesus Christ. This righteous community answers God's Call to obediance, and is able learn together, obey together and suffer together.
It is this righteous, obedient community that can bear witness to the reality of
the Presence of God in His Creation and that bear witness to the establishment of
God's Kingdom on this earth.
We believe that the Christian Gospel or Everlasting Gospel is a universal message
for all people in all times.
We know that it can furnish us with a firm foundation for our lives, and that foundation
we know to be Christ Jesus, himself.
The Everlasting Gospel is preached and heard again, today!
