• If you believe and declare that Jesus is Lord, ask The Lord to forgive your sins, and repent, you will be saved.

    You may have heard of the sinner’s prayer. It is through prayer that we can ask for forgiveness and declare our faith in The Lord Jesus. If you do not know The Lord and would like to accept Him into your heart begin with this prayer:

    Jesus, I come to you to ask for forgiveness of my sins; save me, and make me a new person. Today, I choose to turn away from a life of sin and choose to follow you. I declare, Jesus you are Lord of my life. I thank You, Lord, for dying on the cross for my sins and raising up from the dead to save me. I believe in You and what you have done for me. In Jesus name, amen.

    “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”

    Romans 10:9-10 ESV

    “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

    1 John 1:9 ESV

    “And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

    Acts 2:38 ESV

  • Once you are saved, baptism is the next step. It is a public declaration of your faith. I encourage you if you have not been baptized and are able to, get baptized as soon as you can.

    John 3:5

    Acts 2:38

    1 Peter 3:21

  • A disciple is someone who follows or closely studies a teacher or leader. As disciples of Christ, we need to study The Word daily, pray daily, submit to The Word, and bring glory to God with everything we do.

    If you are new to The Bible and are not sure where to start reading, I recommend beginning with the Book of John.

  • Community is so important for a Christ follower. The Bible has a lot to say about community. As believers, we are strengthened, encouraged, and grow by community.

    I encourage you to find a church that teaches the Bible and has a wonderful community. I know this can be challenging to find, but The Lord will lead you to the right church. Pray and ask God to lead you to the right church and for you to discern a church with sound doctrine.

    If you live in my area, Huntington, WV, I recommend The Refinery Church.
