We understand that our lives are not our own; they were bought with the precious blood of Jesus and empowered by His Spirit.We acknowledge the importance of being mindful of our actions, knowing that as believers, we will face judgment. As Scripture reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:10: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."

Through faith in Jesus Christ, we can experience freedom from sin, bondage, and the struggles of life.As affirmed in Luke 4:18: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free." This promise assures us that God’s power is alive and at work, bringing healing and deliverance to those in need.We also recognize the power in the name of Jesus.

Prayer is not just a ritual; it is our lifeline and a means of communication with our Creator.As stated in Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Through prayer, we bring our worries, hopes, and desires before Him, trusting that He hears us and responds according to His perfect will.In our community, we prioritize corporate and individual prayer, recognizing it as essential for spiritual growth and unity.
