We are a Law/Gospel, Theology of the Cross, Charismatic church in the Brandon/Valrico area.
As Law/Gospel students, we seek to rightly distinguish between God's Law (what we must do) and God's Gospel (what Christ has done). We preach the Law to reveal the sinner, and preach the Gospel to reveal the Savior. As budding Theologians of the Cross, we look to Christ and his descent to us rather than our ascent to him. We understand the Christian faith to be primarily about Christ's performance for us rather than our performance for him. And while the Theologian of Glory in us disdains Christian weakness and failure, as Theologians of the Cross we understand Christ to be with us even in our weaknesses and failures. We also believe all men everywhere are freely forgiven of their sins and justified - that is, declared righteous - by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. As Charismatics, we believe the gifts of the Spirit continue to function to some degree in the lives of Christians today. We do however, outright reject the 'health/wealth', prosperity theology prevalent in Charismatic circles while believing God can - and does - by his grace, mercifully and miraculously provide for the needs of people everywhere.. We also believe it is the good news of God's unconditional, no-strings-attached, one way love towards us in Christ that truly motivates us to fulfill God's commands to love him and our neighbor. (1 John 4:19). |
