Our Mission: Bringing Hope and Impacting Our Community by Leading People into a Growing Relationship with Jesus
There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human, and He gave Himself to rescue all of us. 1 Timothy 2:5 (CEV)
Jesus Christ rescued us from this evil world we’re in by offering Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. God’s plan is that we all experience that rescue. Glory to God forever! Oh, yes! Galatians 1:4 (MSG)
· RESCUE (RHUOMIA) To rescue, set free, loosed from.
HOW DO I LET JESUS RESCUE ME?
1._________ THE NEED FOR RESCUE
But I’ve lost it. I’m wasted. God – quickly, quickly! Quick to my side, quick to my rescue! God, don’t lose a minute. Psalm 70:5 (LB)
You rescue the humble, but you put down all who are proud. Psalm 18:27 (CEV)
2.________ I CAN’T RESCUE MYSELF
I stand silently before the Lord, waiting for Him to rescue me. For salvation comes from Him alone. Psalm 62:1 (LB)
Really! There’s no such thing as self-rescue, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. The cost of rescue is beyond our means, and even then it doesn’t guarantee Life forever, or insurance against the Black Hole. Psalm 49:7-8 (MSG)
3.________ JESUS TO RESCUE ME
When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. Psalm 91:15 (NLT)
Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13 (LB)
4._______ HIM
…I’ve put my life in your hands. You won’t drop me, you’ll never let me down. Psalm 31:5 (MSG)
6 I was trapped and bound by hell and death; 7 But I called upon the Lord in my distress, and He heard me from His Temple. My cry reached His ears. 2 Samuel 22:6-7 (LB)
The Lord says, “If you love me and truly know who I am, I will rescue you and keep you safe.” Psalm 91:14 (CEV)
