Its All About Jesus

If you have been attending Life Church for any amount of time I hope you have heard one consistent message from us: Jesus. Being a Christian means that I am someone who is learning to trust Jesus - nothing more, nothing less.

It’s not about moral achievment.

It’s not about religious rituals.

It’s not about working hard to be good.

It’s not about making promises and vows.

It’s not about getting gold stars on heaven’s chore chart.

It’s about Jesus.

Like a rebellious teenager we thought we knew better and we snuck out of the house, went to the party, got drunk, and woke up in a jail cell with wet pants and smelled like vomit. Jesus came and found us, paid our bail, brought soap, a wash bucket and fresh clothes.

We don’t deserve what Jesus did. We don’t deserve His kindness & forgiveness. We never will. But he freely offers it to ALL who are willing to put their faith and hope in Him. This is good news.

This is why at Life Church - It’s always going to be about Jesus.
