<h2>The Message: Christ's Finished Work and the Covenant of Grace</h2>The message of Christ's Finished Work is the message of the New Covenant. This covenant provides the believer with all things, as the blood of Jesus was shed for our redemption, sanctification and justification; and the body of Jesus was broken for our wholeness and healing.Each minister has an obligation to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15), and this ministry believes that the dividing point of the Bible is Calvary. Christ's finished work on the cross sealed the New Covenant, not between man and God, but between Christ and God, and as believers, we have been made joint-heirs of that covenant (Romans 8:17; Galatians 4:7). This covenant provides an abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness (Romans 5:17), and it is the preaching of the goodness of God that will lead the world to repentance (Romans 2:4).The Covenant of Grace teaches us that there is no condemnation to the believer (Romans 8:1) and that the power to live a life free from the dominion of sin is found in the knowledge that you are under the power of grace and not the power of the law (Romans 6:14). The believer is not trying to become righteous through their merit or works (Galatians 2:21; Titus 3:5), but they ARE the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). This ministry is dedicated to preaching that basic, simple truth to the believer, in the midst of a world of deception (2 Corinthians 11:3).We do not present the Law as the standard for man to live by, as it is the ministry of death and condemnation (2 Corinthians 3:6-11), but rather that the righteous live by a new Law, which is the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2).For more information on the Covenant of Grace, listen to our audio sermons and view our online telecasts. We believe that when you go from hearing the truth to knowing the truth, you will be made free! (John 8:31,32)

<h3>These are the four pillars of our doctrine:</h3>1. Jesus Christ took the punishment and the guilt of sin on the cross so that we could live victoriously and abundantly in Him and through Him.(Romans 5:17: For by one man’s offense death reigned by one: much more they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)2. Living under condemnation for sin is holding us back and, according to the scriptures, anyone who is in Christ Jesus is declared condemnation free!(Romans 8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.)3. The power to live free in Jesus is found in our acknowledgment of how righteous we are in Him. In order to achieve victory over sin, we simply need to wake up to who we are in Christ, and allow the righteousness of God to work the victory in our lives.(1 Corinthians 15:34, Part I: Awake to righteousness, and sin not.)4. Since mankind could never live up to the standards of the law, the new covenant was not cut between God and Man, but rather between God and the only human being who ever lived perfectly – Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life and willingly became sin on the cross so that we could attain the righteousness of God, through faith only, and not of any works of our own.(2 Corinthians 5:21: For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.)For more information on our ministry, click on the buttons to your left.
