MISSION:

PUBLISHING & MEDIA CONTENT THAT PROCLAIMS THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS’ DEATH, RESURRECTION, AND EVERLASTING KINGDOM.

Statement of faith & BELIEFS:

We hold to the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed.

THE BIBLE

We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction and is without error.

GOD

We believe there is one and only one living, true God, eternally existing in three equal persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is infinite in holiness and all other perfections.

JESUS

We believe in the deity of Jesus. We believe Jesus is the Son of God. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He is fully God and man. Through His death, burial and resurrection, He redeemed man from sin and He will come again and will establish God’s kingdom forever.

HOLY SPIRIT

We believe The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He enables men to understand truth. He has been given to us as a Helper, and indwells believers as we trust in Christ. The fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit are to be evident in the lives of Christ followers.

HUMANITY

We believe God created man and woman to have a personal relationship with Him and to worship Him, but all fall short of this purpose.

Holding the Bible as our final authority, we believe in a biblical view of marriage—that marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman.

SALVATION

We believe we can only be saved by receiving God’s grace by faith in Jesus and His substitutionary death for us on the cross. There is no hope for fallen man apart from the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. The redemptive work of Christ on the cross has made salvation possible. It is by the grace of God and through faith we are saved.

ETERNITY

We believe those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus will reign with Him in eternity, while those who do not repent and believe will experience eternal punishment from our just and righteous God.

THE GREAT COMMISSION

We believe Jesus commissions His followers to be witnesses of Him and His kingdom in all the world, and to make disciples of all nations. We are called to love one another as He has loved us.

THE CHURCH

We believe that those who are saved are members of the spiritual body of Christ – the church. We believe Jesus is the head of the church. The church is made up of believing Jews and Gentiles alike—as one body saved by grace and faith alone in Christ.

THE WORLD TO COME

We believe that this present evil age will one day end. At the last day Christ will descend from heaven and bodily resurrect His people. He will defend the cause of the poor and needy and bring about His justice and recompense. He will judge wickedness and bring His government of peace that will have no end. God will make all things new, and we will reign with Him in the new heavens and earth.

VALUES:

  1. An integrated and emotionally healthy spirituality: God invites us to incorporate our emotions, griefs, and losses into our faith journey. Practices like silence, stillness, solitude, and rest are an integral part of our spiritual maturity.

  2. The return of Jesus: King Jesus is returning and will restore all things. This gives us hope of the life to come and God making all things new.

  3. The proclamation of the gospel: Jesus told us the gospel will be proclaimed to all nations. The unreached should be reached, and the church is to participate in the great commission.

  4. The Maturity of the Church: Christ’s body will be refined, strengthened, and made ready for Him.

  5. One storyline of the Gospel: The old and new testaments convey one cohesive story line.

  6. God’s everlasting covenant with Israel: God’s arms of mercy remain outstretched to Israel. Through the sacrifice of Jesus there is only one body of Messiah (no dividing wall between Jew and Gentile) and only one head of the Church. God loves all people and is His good news is not confined to one people group. Yet, the scriptures speak of promises that still remain true for the ethnic people and geographic land of Israel. Many Jewish people are not yet believers in the new covenant and are still living under the curse of the old Mosaic covenant. They need the saving power of Yeshua, as He is the only way of salvation. If they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again (Rom. 11:23). The LORD’s eternal covenants with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David have not ceased—unless you’ve found a way to break His covenant with day and night, and the sun has ceased to rise 😀 (Jer. 33:20). God’s word is faithful and true; He has not lied. Paul exhorts us: “I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved” (Rom. 11:25-26).

A personal note from blake:

The Bible is the final source of truth. Teaching videos, books, writings, or other resources should never be used to replace the personal study and authority of the Bible. That being said, I always intend to be as Biblically accurate as possible and represent the Gospel faithfully. My content is meant to point people further into the Word of God, and prompt conversation, study, and critical thinking based upon the Bible. I am a fallible human, but will do my best to represent Christ and His word.
