“That Little Church On The Corner”
“When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.”
(Acts 13:48)
From the Pastor
Grace and Peace,
Welcome to the Fountain of Life Bible Church Web Site! As you take time to browse this site, I hope you will get a feel for who we are and what we do. But more importantly, I hope that you will know who Jesus is and what He has done.
Like our Assembly, this website is not intended to entertain, but rather to expose you to the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ and to His Gospel. The Bible teaches that man’s core problem is not a lack of finances, self esteem nor education. Man’s basic problem is a sin sick soul.
We are aware that sin is a term, concept or better, a reality, that is seldom used in this age of the “health and wealth”, “name it and claim it”, “stab it and grab it” emphasis held by many Churches, but we are committed both in doctrine and in demonstration, to live true to the Great Commission: ‘
“Then Jesus came to them and said”, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’ (Matt 28:18-20)
To better appreciate the need for this commission, we must acknowledge four realities:
The Person of God: God is Holy!
“I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy.”
(Lev 11:44)
The Plight of Man: Man is a Sinner and the Prisoner of Sin
“As it is written”, “There is no one righteous, not even one” (Rom 3:10)
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23)
“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Rom 5:12)
The Provision of God: Jesus is the Only Antidote for The Sin Sickness
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Rom 6:23)
“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom 5:6-8)
The Prescription for Sin: Accepting Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savior
“That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Rom 10:9)
Would you like to accept / trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior?
Here’s a prayer to assist you. THE PRAYER DOES NOT SAVE YOU!!!
It is trusting CHRIST that saves you!
Dear God,
I know that I’m a sinner. I know that my sins deserves to be punished, and I know that there is nothing I can do, to earn, or merit eternal life. But I do believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, and that He died on the cross for my sins, and that He was buried, and rose again on the third day. I trust Him alone as my Lord and Savior. I repent of my sins, and ask Him to come into my life and save me. Thank You for the forgiveness and everlasting life I now have.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
