Christ Presbyterian Church

As God’s people exercise their Spiritual gifts in community, God’s people are encouraged and Jesus is praised to the glory of the Father.

Discipline, whether formative or corrective, is not only for our good and holiness, it is a great encouragement and a sign from God that we are loved and are genuinely and legitimately his children in Christ Jesus.

Our continuance as a true church depends upon whether we will repent of and turn from our sin toward Jesus and live delighting in him and being led by him.

Jesus is not only to be believed, lived, and shared with our words, but our lives as well as we make disciples and are being discipled by others.

True fasting is between you and God. It isn't something you show off. It is feasting upon Christ instead of the world.

Fasting does no good if our hearts and actions are not aligned with God’s heart. We must live out God's heart of seeking justice and loving mercy.

As Christians, we should expect suffering and rejoice in real suffering for Christ’s sake, knowing that our souls are safe in Jesus’ hands

We should be diligent in sharing the Gospel of Christ with all the people that God has put in our lives at this moment in time

Because Christ is so wonderful, we should cultivate a life of observant and persistent prayer that aligns with the missionary heart of God so that all might know him.

We should pray all the time, during good and bad times, individually and with friends, and pray with confidence and trust

If we want to pray well, we must persistently and expectantly pray to our Father from a heart of sonship and submission.

If we live a life of continual repentance and faith in the person and work of Christ, we will continually experience the deep joy of right relationship with our creator.

The word of God, the Gospel, which was given to us as a gift and implanted in our souls must be carefully studied and diligently acted upon to live a true religious life.

When we are in over our head, we should be silent and wait before God. We should wait on God to help us.

Following Jesus means living as a citizen of heaven, and to do this we follow tried and true spiritual values and practices, to keep us rooted and grounded in Christ.

Disciples of Jesus need a good community to follow Jesus and make new followers of Jesus. The soil they need is God’s presence in the church through the Holy Spirit, which produces four rhythms: learning to obey God’s word, worshipping God together, living life together, and living dependent upon God.

A disciple is part of a community of multiplication that invites others to follow Jesus so they can love God, their neighbor, and multiply themselves as they make disciples.

Because of Jesus’ universal authority and continued presence, we can have confidence and assurance in our bearing the fruit of making disciples

Because of Jesus’ completed work, universal authority and continued presence, we are to bear fruit of loving God, loving others, and making disciples.

We are enabled to live lives of worship as we embrace the unique gifts and calling that God has put on our hearts as we have been called to be disciples of Jesus Christ, following him.

Jesus and the resurrection

The resurrection of Christ brings us hope

Though we can see Jesus we might miss him if we aren’t careful because he isn’t what we are expecting. Because of this, we must see the real Jesus by allowing him to frame our reality.

The heart of God is the heart of a servant and we as God’s children should have this same heart…the heart of a servant.

The Bible compares a healthy disciple (follower) of Jesus to a tree. The root system of that tree, which keeps us standing during the storms of life, is our identity. If our identity is rooted in who we are in Christ, our tree will be able to stand. If our identity is rooted in anything else, we will fall.
