Better Together
“Truth to Live By”
Acts 2:36-39

Why does the Church matter?

The Church is a place (maybe the only place) where we can find eternal truth that can guide us, protect us and change us. We’re better together because when we’re together, we bring the truth of God’s Word to life.

Our world needs truth it can trust. We need truth we can trust. God gives us truth we can “know for certain.” (Acts 2:36)

Jesus is both Lord and Christ. Our eternal destiny is wrapped up in us getting that right.

You can’t accept His rescue from sin, His substitutionary atonement, without accepting His Lordship over your life. 

• Lord means master over all; owner, ruler; one who exercises authority.
• Christ means anointed one; the Messiah. (John 1:41)
• Taken together, they mean, Master and Savior.

Truth demands a response!

Mistake #1 - They didn’t recognize Jesus for who he was.
Mistake #2 - They were responsible for his death.

1. Repent. 
Completely change your mind. Turn away from your former way of thinking about Jesus.  Receive his forgiveness and give him your life. Declare him as both Savior and Lord. A complete change of heart. 

2. Be baptized. 
The sign that you have repented and embraced Jesus as Savior and Lord is baptism. It was the sign of repentance 2000 years ago and it’s the sign of repentance today. 

Are you ready to be baptized? Text "public" to 97000 to sign up or learn more.

What decision do you need to make today?
• To repent and believe in Jesus as Savior and Master? 
• To yield the throne of your life to Jesus as Lord? 
• To go public with your faith and be baptized? 

The Promise
The gift of salvation through Jesus is for everyone. (Acts 2:39)
