	We believe that healing is taught in the gospels and in the writings of the Apostles to the Churches.
	We believe that God still heals today, both supernaturally and naturally. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.” James 1:17
	We believe in ministering to the sick.

In Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus reveals a future judgment. In this judgment, Jesus says. “I was sick and you visited me.” Notice that

	1) Jesus IDENTIFIES with the sick person.
	2) Jesus does not say, "I was sick and you HEALED me" and
	3) Jesus does not say, "I was sick and you REBUKED ME FOR MY LACK OF FAITH."

We are trying to say that you can be sick and still be all that God wants you to be. Being sick does not mean there is something wrong with you spiritually.

Next, let’s look at 2 Kings Chapter 13:14, 20-21.

	14 Elisha had become sick with the illness of which he would die. Then Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, “O my father, my father, the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!”
	20 Then Elisha died, and they buried him. And the raiding bands from Moab invaded the land in the spring of the year. 21 So it was, as they were burying a man, that suddenly they spied a band of raiders; and they put the man in the tomb of Elisha; and when the man was let down and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet.

Elisha was a prophet, he was a servant of Elijah, he had a double portion of Elijah’s spirit, he performed more miracles in the old testament than anyone else, including raising people from the dead. And in Chapter 13:20-21 he had so much of God’s Spirit that when a dead man touched his body, the dead man was brought back to life.

From this we see you can be sick, and still be used of God. In verse 14, Elisha was still being used as a prophet to the King of Israel even though he was sick and in bed. Notice that Elisha did not go to bed healthy and ‘die in his sleep’. He BECAME sick, he WAS sick for a period of time, and EVENTUALLY died from this sickness. Even though he was sick, God was using him.

You may be sick, but what Jesus said in Matthew 25 still applies. You will either be one who, visited the sick, fed the hungry, clothed the naked; or one who did nothing. Being sick does not give us an excuse to not minister, nor does it disqualify us from being used of God. God wants to use all believers. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 reads, “9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

When we say “Lord, here am I, use me” He will. He puts us in places where we must depend on His grace. He puts us in ministries that we cannot do in our own power. We must be totally dependant on Him, then He works through us and He gets the glory. God is not a wasteful steward; if you belong to Him, He has placed you where He can use you.

In closing let us remind you that Jesus did not come to take us OUT of this world, but to go with us THROUGH this world.

Jesus says in Matthew 28:20, “I am with you always, even to the end of the earth.”

Statement of Faith

	We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative source of Christian doctrine and precept.
	We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
	We believe that man was created in the image of God, but as a result of sin is lost and powerless to save himself.
	We believe that the only hope for man is to believe on Jesus Christ, the virgin-born Son of God, who died to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of mankind and who rose from the dead so that by receiving Him as Lord, man is redeemed by His blood.
	We believe that Jesus Christ in person will return to earth in power and glory.
	We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells those who have received Christ for the purpose of enabling them to live righteous and godly lives.
	We believe that the church is the body of Christ and is composed of all those who through belief in Christ have been spiritually regenerated by the indwelling Holy Spirit. The mission of the church is worldwide evangelization on the one hand and the nurture and discipline of Christians on the other.

"I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will rest in hope." Psalm 16:8,9

The Plan of Salvation
If You Were to Die Tonight, Do You Have the Assurance of Going to Heaven? If Not, Please, Read And Pray... You CAN KNOW!

John 3:3-7	Jesus says, "You must be born again" because
Romans 3:23	"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 5:8	"But God demonstrated His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 6:23	The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Acts 17:30	God commands all men everywhere to Repent. (To turn away from all that I know to be wrong)
I John 1:9	If we Confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
John 3:17-18	He who Believes in Him in not condemned.
John 1:12	But as many as Received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
Revelation 3:20	Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hear my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he with me.

If you believe this, and if you wish to accept Jesus into your heart, pray a simple prayer like this: "Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God and that you died for my sins. I CONFESS that I am a sinner. I REPENT of my sins and I turn away from them and toward You. I BELIEVE you will take away my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I RECEIVE your gift of eternal life with you in Heaven. Thank you Jesus, Amen Now, we're sure that the devil will try to convince you that this didn't really happen and that it didn't mean anything - so write down this date, and the time that you prayed this prayer, so if the enemy comes to try to take away your confidence, you can remind him that you are now a CHILD of the KING.

Revelation 3:20 says "If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him and he with me." If you heard Jesus calling for you to come to him, & you opened the door, You are now a Born-Again Christian and You are Saved from eternal separation from God. Count on it!

Now, this is a good time to tell someone -- email me and let me know of your decision to accept Jesus. It would be wonderful also to find a church who is a Bible believing church where you can grow in your knowledge, where someone can mentor you and help you to learn more about the Bible. Let us know how you are doing... we care!!! And, visit the chat room and let us know you are Born Again!
