So, because in no other person but Jesus of Nazareth did God first become human (in his birth), then bear our sins (in his death), then conquer death (in his resurrection) and then enter his people (by his Spirit), he is uniquely able to save sinners. Nobody else has his qualifications.

Saving faith is resting faith, the trust which relies entirely on the Savior.
John Stott
Image
Word and worship belong indissolubly to each other. All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name. Therefore, acceptable worship is impossible without preaching. For preaching is making known the name of the Lord, and worship is praising the name of the Lord made known.

The cross is not just a badge to identify us...it is also the compass which gives us our bearings in a disoriented world.
John Stott
Image
Christians believe that true worship is the highest and noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.
John Stott
Image
Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.
