God.

God has existed in community with himself for all eternity. He has one essence or nature that is expressed in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whilst each person has a different function, all remain equally God. God is the uncreated creator, and the universe is sustained by his Word. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and entirely good. He is the one true God; there are no other gods beside him.

Scriptures
Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:26; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Psalm 90:2; Hebrews 1:3; James 1:17; Psalm 147:5; Isaiah 44:6

Jesus

Jesus.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God and he is alive. He is a real man and is fully God. The Son was with the Father and the Spirit at creation, but he humbled himself and took on human flesh; he was conceived by the Spirit in the womb of a virgin. In obedience to God the Father, he laid his life down on a cross, taking upon himself all the sin and punishment that the human race deserved, the perfect sacrifice for sin. In this way, Jesus restored the possibility for humans to live in relationship with God. He was then resurrected from the dead and is now seated on heaven’s throne, and all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to him.

The Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit.

The third person of the trinity is indeed just that: a person. He is God and therefore can be known, listened to, spoken with, pleased or grieved, and worshipped. He is co-equal with God the Father and God the Son. He is God at work in the world today and he indwells the people of God. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a foundational experience for every Christian. Unlike being born of the Spirit, this is a subsequent filling and empowering; God himself enabling his people to live a life that looks like Jesus.

Scripture Links
Genesis 1:1-2; Isaiah 11:2; Matthew 3:11-17; John 3:6-8, 14:15-17, 14:26, 16:7-11; Acts 1:8, 2:1-4, 2:38, 10:44-48; 1 Corinthians 12-14; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 1:15-17

The Bible

The Bible.

The Bible originated in God. It is God’s word breathed-out to human authors; his spoken word written down. It is without error; it does not mislead nor deceive because it is God’s self-revelation. Its meaning and relevance are not limited to a specific time or culture because it was written by the author of eternity himself. Therefore it is totally relevant to all people, of all eras, from all cultures and in all spheres of life today.

The Kingdom of God

Baptism
in Water.

Baptism literally means to be fully submerged. It is something Jesus did as a pattern for us, and is a command to every believer. Baptism involves a declaration of our repentance from sin and faith in Jesus as our Lord. In baptism, the old life is buried and out of the water comes a new creation, raised to life with Jesus and brought into his family: the Church.

Scripture Links
Matthew 3:16, 28:19-20; Luke 3:21-22; Acts 2:38-41, 8:12, 8:34-40, 22:16; Romans 6:1-11; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21

Covenant

Covenant.

Covenant means an agreement, and God lives by them. The new covenant in Jesus Christ is the climax of every Old Testament promise. Indeed, the eternal covenant purpose of God was always centred in Jesus Christ. As the covenant people of God, the Church is joined to him and to every other believer in a life defined by the practicalities of faith, hope and love.

Scripture Links
Jeremiah 31:31-34, Numbers 23:19, Luke 24:43-45, Ephesians 2:11-22, Revelation 21:1-7, 

Money & Giving

Money & Giving.

As Christians our lives are dependent on God as our source. The Bible teaches that the first 10% of our income belongs to God; that’s called the tithe. We bring God our tithes, and we also give of our finance as a practical expression of our love for God. God’s promise is that as one sows, so one reaps.

Scripture Links
Matthew 6:25-34, Malachi 3:10, Proverbs 3:9, Leviticus 27:30, Genesis 28:20-22, Genesis 14:20, Galatians 6:7-9, 2 Corinthians 9:5-7

Restoration

Restoration.

Restoration characterises God’s eternal plan to have a people who bear his name and ensure his will is done on the earth. This was his intention for Adam and Eve in the beginning. But they fell short. It is made possible once again for humanity because of the work of Christ, by which we are reconciled to relationship with God. In this new covenant, we are called God’s sons. God no longer walks with but actually lives in us, and we become agents of his Kingdom on the earth. In this restoration plan, Christians are the first part of an entirely new creation that will be revealed in fullness at the glorious return of Christ. This is God’s kind of restoration: he always goes beyond what was there in the first place.  

Scripture Links
Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-24; Jeremiah 24:7, 32:38; Acts 3:21; Romans 3:23-24, 5:6-8, 5:15-19; 1 Corinthians 13:8-12; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Revelation 21:1-5, 22:1-5

Apostles

Apostles.

Apostles are first among the 5 gifts of Christ to the Church listed in Ephesians 4: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. We believe these gifts continue to be given by Christ to his Church today as part of her continuing foundation. The purpose of these gifts is to bring the Church to full maturity and be ready for Christ’s return. Apostles, like master builders, are concerned with the total design of the church. It is their focus to ensure the faithful preaching of the Gospel and to establish the foundations of believing communities.

Scripture Links 
Matthew 10:2-4; Acts 2:43, 5:12-16; 1 Corinthians 3:5-15, 4:9-13, 12:27-31; Ephesians 2:20-22, 4:7-13; Hebrews 3:1-6

The Kingdom of God.

The Bible defines the Kingdom of God as God’s rule; the sphere of influence where Jesus reigns; where the will of God is performed at the exclusion of every other will. The Church is the Kingdom community, the people through whom God is extending his rule in the earth, which is expressed in this way: righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Scripture Links
Luke 10:8-9, Matthew 6:10, Zechariah 14:9, Matthew 16:17-19, Matthew 11:12, Romans 14:17
