Curious about faith? Feeling lost? You're in the right place.
That Feeling That Something's Missing
Maybe you're here because you feel like something is missing in your life. A sense of purpose, a feeling of peace, or an anchor in the storm. We've all felt that way. That feeling is a universal human experience, and it's often the beginning of a search for God.
The Bible tells us that we were created for a perfect relationship with God, but we have all "strayed like lost sheep." We've chosen our own path, and that path leads away from God, leaving us feeling disconnected and lost.
The Good News: God's Rescue Plan
This is the core of the Christian faith, called the Gospel, which literally means "Good News."
God is Perfect & Loving
He created us for a relationship with Him, but His perfect nature cannot coexist with our "off-course" condition.
We Are Separated
Our choices and nature separate us from a holy God. No amount of good works on our part can bridge the gap.
Jesus is the Bridge
God, in His incredible love, did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place and rise from the dead.
Our Response is Faith
The bridge is there, but we have to choose to cross it. We do this by putting our trust (faith) in Jesus. This is a free gift of grace, not something we can earn.
Your First Step on the Path Home
Taking a step of faith can feel like a big deal, but it starts with a simple, honest conversation with God.
A Simple Prayer: Prayer is just talking to God. There are no magic words. If you're ready, you can speak from your heart. Here's a starting point:
"God, I admit I'm lost. I believe Jesus died for me to bridge the gap between us. I put my trust in you. Please forgive me and lead me from now on. Amen."
