“Grace, Faith and Victory”

As individuals respond in Faith to what God has done for them by Grace, they enter into Victory in every realm of their life!  That is why we are here as a ministry.  To empower believer’s with God’s message of Grace, Faith and Victory.

Grace

As a local church, we are here to proclaim the powerful message of God’s grace that strengthens lives and builds people up in a tangible way.

Acts 20:32 (NLT)

And now I entrust you to God and the message of His grace that is able to build you up and give you an inheritance with all those he has set apart for himself.”

The grace of God is what God does for us simply because He loves us.  It can be defined as His love in demonstration, freely released towards us, not because we have earned it or because we are deserving of it, but because it is His will and good pleasure as a loving Father to freely bless His children.  The message of God’s grace includes everything that Jesus accomplished for humanity through His death, burial, and resurrection so that we could have a new life.  We did not deserve what Jesus did for us.  All of it was an act of grace.  As Christians hear this message of grace, they are empowered to experience all of the benefits that God’s grace has provided.  The grace of God is more than a theological concept.  It is real power from Heaven that changes lives and enables people to live victoriously.

Faith

We are proclaiming the Word of God that inspires faith in the hearts of those who hear it.  As believers then act in faith on God’s Word, they access God’s grace and experience victory in life.

Romans 10:8, 17 (KJV)

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

In Mark 11:22, the Lord Jesus instructed us to “have faith in God”.  In 2 Corinthians 5:7 Christians are instructed by the Apostle Paul to “walk by faith and not by sight”.  The word “walk” refers to a person’s entire way of life.  In other words, Christians are to live a lifestyle of faith.   This concept is found throughout the Word of God.  In fact, four places in Scripture teach us that the just are to live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38). Faith in God is much more than an abstract theory.  It is to be our way of life.

What is faith?  It is simply believing in God and in the words He has spoken over what we see or feel.  Why does living by faith make such a difference in life?  This is because a person’s actions of faith cause them to receive into their life God’s powerful grace.

Romans 4:16a (Amplified)

Therefore, inheriting the promise is the outcome of faith and depends entirely on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor).”

Romans 5:2a (Amplified)

Through Him also we have access by faith into this grace (state of God’s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand.”

Victory

Jesus came to bring us more than religion… He came to bring us a new life of victorious living. Acting in faith, on what God says is ours now because of His grace, produces this victory in every realm of life.

[Grace  +  Faith = Victory]   This is God’s equation for a victorious life!

1 John 5:4 (NIV)

For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

1 Corinthians 15:57 (Amplified)
Thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

2 Corinthians 2:14a (Amplified)
But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph as trophies of Christ’s victory.”
