THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 32: A Good Start

 
The Godhead intended for Israel to be a light to the Gentile nations. Jesus communicated to the people through judges and prophets. This was to continue until the incarnation when Jesus would start the ministry of redemption for Adam's sin. The Hebrews did not like Samuel's sons and insisted on a king. God warned it would not be an easy road and they were better off with judges. The people persisted in their desire to be like other nations. Jesus allowed the Hebrews to exercise their free will and Israel transitioned from a theocracy to a monarchy. Saul was a good man with great potential and Jesus never intended to set him up for failure; rather, it was God's intention to prosper Saul and have him be successful. He was humble, shy, and meek and he received the gift of prophesy. But then Saul used his free will to rebel against the Lord once he started to prosper. The blame cannot be laid at God's feet; Saul's downfall was the result of poor decisions.

Part 32: A Good Start

A Good Start

We are a Bible centered group of believers who desire to grow in the full knowledge of Jesus Christ without compromise to His Word. We believe, teach and practice all things that Jesus taught and were practiced by the Church in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. 

Jesus called his disciples to be salt and light. Salt is a preservative but it is also something that adds savor and enjoyment to our daily food. Light is a symbol of truth; it is comforting, penetrating, guiding and exposes darkness. We seek to preserve biblical truth and shed the glorious light of the Gospel in a world that is consumed by darkness.
