OUR EVANGELIZATION STATEMENT:
KERYGMA God’s plan for humanity is that we would always be in relationship with him. In fact, we are made to be with God forever, because he made us in his image and likeness. But, humans have sinned and this sin has caused a break in our relationship with God. Still, God had a plan to save us. He sent his Son, Jesus, to come and win us back to God. He lived, died, and rose from the dead in order to gain power over our sin and death. He laid down his own life, so that we can have eternal life. Jesus said: “A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) Now that we have this opportunity, it is up to us to respond to his gift of grace and mercy. Jesus waits for each of us to say “yes” to repenting of our sins, believing in him, being baptized, and living a life that glorifies God, so we can live forever in Heaven with him and with as many others as possible. Yes, life on earth is messy. There can be a lot of confusion and darkness around us. But Jesus is Lord and He is the light that will lead us out of the darkness. The choice is your own. Come and join others in His Church who seek to live the abundant life promised by Jesus! |
