TRANSCRIPT
1. God’s gospel originates in and
expresses the wondrous
perfections of the eternal, triune
God
2. God’s gospel is authoritatively revealed in the Scriptures
3. God’s gospel alone addresses our deepest need.
4. God’s gospel is made known
supremely in the Person of Jesus
Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate,
fully God and fully man, one Person in two
natures. Jesus – Israel’s Messiah – was
conceived through the Holy Spirit, and born of
the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was
crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily
from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father as our
High Priest and Advocate.
The Importance of Christ’s:• Incarnation• Sinless life• Crucifixion• Resurrection• Ascension into heaven• Present ministry
What Next?
IncarnationWe believe Jesus was
conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld
His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth.John 1:14,18
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also
by one Man’s obedience
many will be made righteousRom. 5:19
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize
with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are,
yet without sin.Heb. 4:15
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a
tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the
multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You
see to it.”26 Then he released Barabbas to
them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be
crucified.Matthew 27:24,26
4 …He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen
by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred
brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was
seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8 Then last of all He was seen by me also,
as by one born out of due time.1 Corinthians 15:4-7
14 …if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty... 17 And if Christ is not
risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!...
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most
pitiable. 1 Corinthians 15::14;17;19
Ascension into Heaven
We believe Jesus ascended into heaven and sits at the right
hand of God the Father.
50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands
and blessed them. 51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was
parted from them and carried up into heaven.
Luke 24:50
…who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person,
and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself
purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Hebrews 1:3
26 For such a High Priest…27 does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did
once for all when He offered up Himself.
Hebrews 7:26-27
