Our Adoption

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Our Creed

Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 11, 2017

It is important to realize that the authority for our faith is from the Lord or our faith, Jesus Christ. Our focus is ultimately not on a creedal system, but upon Christ, whom we follow as our Lord.

Our Sonship

Contributed by John Gaston on May 13, 2017

Most Christians act just like people in the world. Why? Because they don't realize they're Sons of God, what that means, and what Christ has actually done in them! This message is a powerful revelation that can revolutionize a Christian's life.
