Gospel

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,” (:3-4, ESV)

Church

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (1 Peter 2:9-10, ESV)

Mission

“And came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20, ESV)

The Gospel

The gospel is the message about what Jesus, the son of God, has done for us through his perfect life, death, and resurrection. The word gospel literally means “good news,” and this is exactly what the message of Jesus is, it is good news. In First Corinthians the Apostle Paul explained the essence of the gospel message:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 “Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures”

The gospel is all about what Jesus has done to provide salvation for the world. In the gospel, Jesus, by his life, death, and resurrection, provided a way for us to be forgiven of sin and have fellowship with God both now and forever. The explains that everyone is a sinner and an enemy of God:

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Ephesians 2:1-3 “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.”

But Jesus has died so that we could become friends of God rather than enemies.

Romans 5:10 “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son”

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

3 The Gospel is different from religion. The gospel is all about what Jesus did for us. Religion is all about what we do for God. The gospel brings life and reconciles us to God. Religion brings death. We could never do enough good things to earn salvation.

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

To be a Christian is to accept the Gospel into your life. This is more than just a belief in the facts of Jesus’ life, but a decision to turn over your life to Christ. Accepting the gospel means letting Jesus take control of your life; it means letting Him be Lord.

Romans 10:9-10 “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.”

Furthermore, letting Christ be Lord means that we must confess our sin and repent of our previous way of life. We do not have to have our lives together to except the gospel, but we must be willing to admit that without Jesus our lives have not been pleasing to God. If we accept Jesus, then He will come into our lives and begin the cleanup work. Jesus doesn’t want perfect people to embrace His gospel because perfect people don’t exist. He wants sinners, or less-than-perfect people, to embrace His gospel and be saved.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”

All that is required to become a Christian is believe and accept Jesus into your heart. Believe that Jesus is the son of God who lived, died, and rose again to save you from your sin. You could never earn your own salvation, it could only be given to you by Jesus. Embrace Jesus. Admit your sinfulness to God and ask Jesus to come into your life and save you.

Romans 10:13 “for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

Doctrinal Statement

1. The Scriptures We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God and were given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, all Scripture is authoritative, infallible, and inerrant. The Scriptures are fully sufficient, and are the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. We do not believe that other books are inspired by God in the same way as the Bible.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 2 Peter 1:20-21 Psalm19:7-10 Mark 13:31 John 8:31-32 John 20:30-31 Acts 20:32 Psalm 119:9-11

2. The Trinity We believe that there is one living and true God who is without division of nature, essence, or being, but who eternally exists in three persons. These three persons are equal in every divine perfection, and they execute distinct but harmonious offices and roles in the work of creation, providence, and redemption.

Matthew 28:18-20 Matthew 3:16-17 2 Corinthians 13:14 Ephesians 4:4-6 Genesis 1:1-2, 26 John 1:1-3,14 :11 John 14:8-17

3. God the Father We believe in God the Father, the head of the Triune Godhead. He is an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. He infallibly foreknows all that shall come to pass, concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1:1 Revelation 22:13 John 4:24 Matthew 5:48 Hebrews 6:18 Hebrews 4:13 Isaiah 46:9-10 Psalm 139:7-16 Psalm 18:1-15 Job 38:1-18 1 John 4:7 Matthew 6:8 Luke 10:21-22 Proverbs 21:1 John 3:16 I Peter 1:3

5 4. The Person and Work of Jesus Christ We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament. He is fully God and fully man, and is the divinely appointed mediator between God and man. Having taken upon Himself human nature, yet without sin, He perfectly fulfilled the law, and suffered and died upon the cross for the salvation of sinners. He was buried, rose again the third day, and ascended to His Father, at whose right hand He ever lives to make intercession for His people. He will return again visibly and bodily in the Father’s perfect time. He is the only Prophet, Priest, and King of the church, and Sovereign of the universe.

John 3:16 John 1:1-14 Matthew 16:13-17 Isaiah 53 John 8:58 Hebrews 1:1-3 Colossians 1:15-20 Philippians 2:5-7 1 Timothy 2:5-6 Galatians 3:13 Romans 3:21-26 Romans 8:31-34 Acts 1:9-11 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 Hebrews 7:25 Acts 5:30-32

5. The Holy Spirit We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is fully God, and a person, not an “it.” He convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration. He baptizes all believers into the body of Christ, and indwells and seals them for day of redemption. The Holy Spirit is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.

Genesis 1:2 Acts 5:3-4 :10-11 John 14:26 John 16:8-11 2 Corinthians 3:6 Romans 8:9 Galatians 5:16-25 :12-14 Ephesians 4:4-6 John 14:16-17 :16 1 Corinthians 6:19 Ephesians 1:13-14 John 15:26-27

6. The Total Depravity of Man We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that through Adam’s sin the entire human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. All people sin and are by nature children of wrath, totally depraved, and utterly unable to remedy our lost condition.

Genesis 1:26-27 Genesis 3 Romans 3:9-18 Romans 3:23 Romans 5:12 Romans 5:18 Ephesians 2:1-3 Ephesians 2:12 Isaiah 64:6-7 Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 7:18

6 7. Salvation We believe that salvation is a gift brought to man by the free grace and pleasure of God. Salvation was accomplished through Christ’s substitutionary life and death, and His resurrection from the grave. Salvation can be received only by repentance of sins and personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.

Ephesians 2:8-10 Romans 3:23-26 Isaiah 43:25 1 Peter 1:18-19 Romans 8:3-4 John 3:16 Acts 20:20-21 John 1:12 Romans 10:9-10

8. Sanctification We believe that all Christians are saved unto a life-long process of growth in holiness (i.e. a process of being made more and more like Christ). This includes a progressive growth in: the knowledge of God, understanding of God, good works, love of God, and love of others. Sanctification includes constant confession and repentance (which means not merely acknowledging sin, but turning from it). While all Christians are called to grow in Christlikeness, no one will ever arrive at perfection before death.

Philippians 1:6 Romans 8:1-17 Galatians 5:13-25 John 17:17 Ephesians 3:14-21 Philippians 2:12-13 Ephesians 2:10 2 Peter 1:3-11 Colossians 3:1-17 Mark 12:30 Deuteronomy 6:4-9 1 John 1:8-9 Luke 3:8 :15 :12

9. Eternal Security and Assurance of Believers We believe that those who are redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and secure in Christ forever. We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation, while realizing that the Bible clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion for sin. Assurance is based upon the person and work of Christ, the testimony of the Spirit, and the evidence of conversion in the life of a believer.

John 6:37-40 John 10:27-30 Romans 8:1-4 Ephesians 1:13-14 Romans 13:13-14 Galatians 5:13 Romans 8:16-17 Romans 8:38-39 :4-8 Colossians 1:21-23 James 2:14-26 Hebrews 3:5-6 Hebrews 4:14-16 1 Peter 1:5 Titus 2:11-15

7 10. The Church We believe that the Lord Jesus is the Head of the church, which is composed of all His true disciples. Christians are to associate themselves into local bodies for the purpose of worship, growth as disciples, service, fellowship, and missions. To each local body, Christ has given the authority for administering order, discipline, and worship. The regular officers of a church are Elders (other names for Elders include: Pastors or Overseers) and Deacons. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

Colossians 1:18 Ephesians 1:22 Ephesians 5:23 John 10:16 Matthew 18:20 Hebrews 10:25 Acts 2:42-47 Matthew 28:18-20 Galatians 3:10 Colossians 1:28-29 1 Timothy 3:15 Acts 20:17 Acts 20:28 1 Timothy 3:1-13 Acts 6:1-6 Titus 1:5-9 1 Timothy 5:17-19

11. Christian Conduct We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God, the well-being of their fellow man, and should seek the well-being of the cities and cultures in which they live. The conduct of Christians should be blameless before the world. Christians are called to be faithful stewards of their time, talents (spiritual gifts), and possessions.

1 Corinthians 10:31 Romans 12:1-3 Colossians 2:17 Hebrews 12:12 Mark 12:30-31 1 Corinthians 13 Jeremiah 29:4-7 John 14:15 John 14:23-24 1 John 2:3-6 :2 :26 Luke 12:42-48

12. The Ordinances We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper (i.e. Communion or the Eucharist). We believe that the only proper mode of Christian baptism is by the immersion of the believer into water. Baptism does not save an individual, but is necessary for obedience and is a picture of the believer’s union with Christ in death, burial, and resurrection. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ as a commemoration of His death. Just like baptism, the Lord’s Supper does not save individuals, but is necessary for our obedience. During Communion, Christ is not present in the wine and bread themselves, but inhabits the presence of His people as we remember his death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our only for believers.

Matthew 28:18-20 Acts 2:41 Romans 6:3-5 1 Corinthians 1:17 Matthew 3:13-17 :23-26 Matthew 26:20-29 Luke 22:14-23

8 13. The Last Things We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal life and joy of the righteous in the new heaven and the new earth and the endless suffering of the wicked in hell.

Mark 14:62 Acts 1:11 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 John 14:3 Titus 2:11-13 2 Corinthians 5:1-5 Philippians 3:21-22 Matthew 16:27 2 Timothy 4:1 1 Corinthians 4:5 1 Corinthians 15 Philippians 3:20 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 Revelation 20:4-6 Revelation 21:1-8

14. Open Hand & Closed Hand We believe that Christian doctrine can be divided into categories of “open-handed doctrine” and “closed-handed doctrine.” Closed-handed doctrines are the core, essential beliefs that must be accepted by adherents of . If these doctrines are not believed, then the person denying them is not truly a Christ-follower because he/she has denied beliefs essential to the faith. Examples of closed-handed doctrines are: belief in the Trinity, the complete divinity of Jesus, the holiness of God, salvation only by grace through faith, and the inerrancy of the Bible. Open-handed doctrines are beliefs that are secondary to core, closed-handed doctrines. Christians may have different opinions about the Bible’s teaching on open-handed doctrines. Open-handed doctrines are still extremely important, but Christians can differ on these issues and still claim a true, Christian faith. Examples of open-handed doctrines include: the Bible’s teaching on the extent of man’s will and God’s will in regards to salvation, what the Bible teaches about issues of conscious such as the consumption of alcohol and which movies we choose to watch, and how we choose to raise our kids. We encourage Christians who disagree with each other on open-handed issues to live together harmoniously as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

John 14:6 Galatians 1:6-9 Philippians 1:15-18 1 Corinthians 3:5-15 Romans 14:12-23 Colossians 2:17 1 Corinthians 4:1-5 Acts 10:9-16

9 Member Covenant

Purpose

Explanation Our Member Covenant is the document that all members sign to express their commitment to this local body of believers and their desire to pursue the Lord together. The covenant is birthed out of our love for the church body and its individual members whom we hope will experience the fullness of joy which is found in the presence of the Lord.

Three Functions The primary purpose of this covenant is to serve as a teaching document with three functions:

1. To clarify the biblical obligations and expectations for both the elders (pastors) of 24church and the individual members of the 24church body. 2. To establish teaching and doctrinal parameters for the 24church body. 3. To serve as a tool for reflection and growth toward holiness.

Each of these functions is in accordance with the document's overall vision to provide an accessible explanation of the Scriptures. Our hope is that 24church would grow in the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.

Romans 12:1-2 “…Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

A Body As Christians, we are members of God’s household1 called to function, participate, and minister in a particular place within the body of Christ. A healthy body requires that each member do its part well. A healthy church requires the same: members who are sacrificially committed and well-equipped to do the works of service that God has prepared in advance for us to do.2 24church holds its members in high regard; we expect them to be missionaries of the gospel to the culture. God, in his sovereignty, placed us in this city, among these people, in this century, for a reason.3

1 Ephesians 2:19 2 Ephesians 2:10, Ephesians 4:12

3 Acts 17:26-27 10 Being a member of 24church is really about being part of a family. All members are disciples of Jesus, unified by their identity in Christ. This unity is expressed in the way they collaborate in loving God, loving fellow Christians, and loving non-Christians. Members who enter into a covenant with their local church are called to a higher degree of responsibility and service. At the same time, the elders and deacons are covenanted to assist members first and foremost, to love and lead, provide counsel and aid, and pray for, teach, and guide them.

1 Peter 4:8-10 “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace…”

What is a Covenant? A covenant is a promise by which we obligate ourselves to one another in such a way that the obligation of one party is not dependent on the faithfulness of the other.4The 24church covenant includes a statement of biblical doctrine, the obligations of 24church to its members, and the obligations of members to 24church.

If at any time an individual member feels as though the corporate church body is not remaining faithful to the requirements of the covenant, it is the responsibility of the individual member to lovingly and humbly express concerns to the leadership of the church. If the church elders are unwilling to change and pursue covenant faithfulness, then the member is freed from his or her membership obligations and is encouraged to seek membership elsewhere given the church's disobedience. In addition, certain circumstances may provide sufficient and righteous grounds to transfer membership elsewhere. While focusing primarily in language on the responsibilities between the individual parties, the corporate church body, her elders and her individual members, the covenant is first and foremost a promise made to God as a commitment to His glory and the good of the body and bride of His Son.

4 Ezekiel 20:44, Ezekiel 36:22, Psalm 76:11, Hosea 2:19-20, Hosea 3:1, 2 Timothy 2:13

2. We covenant to prayerfully seek God's will for our church community and steward her resources to the best of our ability based on our study of the Scriptures and following the Spirit.6

3. We covenant to care for you and seek your growth as a disciple of Christ, in part by equipping you for service7 and praying for you regularly, particularly when you are sick.8

4. We covenant to lovingly exercise discipline when necessary, for the glory of God, the good of the one disciplined, and the health of the church as a whole.9

5. We covenant to provide teaching and counsel from the whole of Scripture.10

6. We covenant to be on guard against false teachers and teachings.11

7. We covenant to set an example and join members in fulfilling the obligations of church membership stated below.12

My Biblical Obligation to 24church as a Member

1. I have read, understood, and agree with the core beliefs of 24church as expressed in the doctrinal statement. I covenant to not be divisive to its teaching. I also understand the importance of submission to church leadership and will be diligent to preserve unity and peace.13

2. I covenant to submit to the authority of the Scriptures as the final arbiter on all issues.14

3. I covenant to submit to discipline by God through his Holy Spirit, to follow biblical procedures for church discipline in my relationships with brothers and sisters in Christ, to submit to righteous discipline when approached biblically by brothers and sisters in Christ, and to submit to discipline by church leadership if the need should ever arise.15

I will steward the resources God has given me, including my time, talents, and treasure.16 This includes regular financial giving, service, and participation in community that is sacrificial, cheerful, and voluntary.17 5. I covenant to pursue the Lord Jesus Christ through regular Bible reading, prayer,fellowship and practice of spiritual disciplines.18 6.

8. I will not function in leadership or as a member in another church family.20

9. By God's grace through the power of the Holy Spirit, I covenant to walk in holiness in all areas of life as an act of worship to Jesus Christ.21 Believers should strive to put certain attitudes and actions to death, while stirring and stimulating love and good deeds through the Spirit. Below are a few examples of actions addressed in the Scriptures:

9.1. I will practice complete chastity unless married and, if married, complete fidelity within heterosexual and monogamous marriage. Complete chastity and fidelity means, among other things, that regardless of my marital status, I will pursue purity and abstain from sexually immoral practices such as adultery, premarital sex, and pornography.22 9.2. I will seek to preserve the gift of marriage and agree to walk through the steps of marriage reconciliation with an elder or approved marriage counselor.23 9.3. I will refrain from illegal drug use, drunkenness, gossip and other sinful behavior as the Bible dictates24

10. I covenant to take seriously the responsibility of Christian freedom, especially actions or situations that could present a stumbling block to another.25
