God Loves You!

The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”

The problem is that . . .

All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God, but the good news is that God desires to have a relationship with you and has made a way to clear away sins so that you can be his friend.

The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,

God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”

Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life — of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me.”

God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name.” You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.

If you want to accept Christ as Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:

“Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always.”

If you prayed that prayer today and asked Jesus to be your personal friend and would like to talk with a Pastor or receive more information, please fill out the form below and someone will contact you as soon as possible!

ABOUT ASBURY

The transformation of the whole person through the love and power of Jesus Christ.
-Romans 12:1&2

Asbury is a United Methodist church and our name comes from the first consecrated Methodist Bishop to the American Colonies, Francis Asbury. We are proud of our heritage and we hold true to our Methodist beliefs.

Asbury Church is a bible believing fellowship where the Scriptures are taught and preached. We believe that God has fully revealed Himself in Jesus Christ. God’s Word is truth and it is our guide for faith and practice.

Our desire is to walk in the Holy Spirit, thus we believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit who is promised to every believer. The Spirit-filled life is a life of purpose. It is being made like Christ; shaped into His image.

As you read the following pages you will get a glimpse – a feel of what we believe as a church: but I would like to invite you to come and visit us and get to know us in person. We believe that Jesus loves and accepts each one of us where we are, and when we give our lives to Him, He begins the process of changing us into what He created us to be.

Growing in Jesus,
Pastor Dennis
