4 WORDS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10b
WORD ONE: SIN
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...” Romans 3:23
Sin is an archery term that means to miss the mark. The Bible says that everyone on this earth has sin in their lives. It doesn’t have to be “big sins” to count. Even the small sins cause us to miss the mark when measured against the perfection of God. These sins separate us from God.
WORD TWO: REDEMPTION
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:7
Your forgiveness of sins is not based on what you can do but on what He has done. When Jesus hung on the cross He bore our sins as a sacrifice. With that sacrifice, Jesus made a way to pay for your sins IN FULL. You cannot earn this but it is the free gift of God for all mankind.
WORD THREE: RESURRECTION
“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.’” John 11:25
Resurrection is a powerful word that means to be raised from death in to life. Three days after His death on the cross that paid for your sins, Jesus did just that. His resurrection means that you can have salvation and eternal life in Heaven.
WORD FOUR: YES
“That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
Once you have understood who Jesus is and what Jesus did for you, you must then choose to accept this free gift of salvation. You must say YES to Jesus as the Lord of your life and turn the rest of your life over to Him. By saying YES, you are turning away from your old life in to a new life with Jesus.
We want to invite you to say yes to God today. We have included this short prayer to help you know how to pray. The words are not as important as how you feel in your heart as you pray.
“God, I know that I have sinned against You and I have missed the mark in this life. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. He then rose again, defeating death and Hell so that I could have eternal life in Heaven. With Your help, I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness - the gift of eternal life! Amen!”
Find a Fresh Start
Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others you have personally trusted Jesus for salvation. Just as Jesus was baptized, we follow His example by being submerged under water to identify with His death and burial, and raised up to celebrate His resurrection and new life in Christ.
Baptism is a public declaration that you are a follower of Jesus, beginning a changed life, and becoming part of God’s family. If you’re ready to take this next step, we encourage you to visit one of our campuses or reach out to a campus pastor—we would love to walk with you through this moment. And don’t forget to invite your family and friends to celebrate with you as you take this powerful step of faith.
Find Your Family
Finding a church family matters because life and faith just aren’t meant to be lived alone. We all need people who know us, pray for us, encourage us, and walk with us through both the good and the hard seasons. A church becomes a place where you can be real, grow in your relationship with God, and build genuine friendships that feel like family.
Joining a church is more than just showing up on Sundays—it’s choosing to belong. It’s saying, “This is my people.” It means being known, getting involved, and using your gifts to serve and care for others, while also allowing others to support and pour into you.
And the benefits? You find a deeper sense of connection, purpose, and growth. You’re encouraged when life gets heavy, celebrated when life is good, and reminded that you’re not walking this journey alone. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being part of a community that’s growing together.
Find Freedom
Our vision remains the same: to connect to God, to one another, and to a lost world. Life change happens within the context of relationships, and we maximize those relationships by joining groups. This is how we make a big church feel small. We do life together, forming bonds as we walk through the different seasons of life. Together, we face life’s challenges and celebrate its joys. Having a group of brothers and sisters in Christ transforms life into a “we” experience rather than “me,” making the hard times more manageable and the victories even sweeter.
I look forward to seeing each of us jump into groups—finding freedom, discovering who we are in Christ, and making a difference in the world. Remember, you are awesome!
Find Your Purpose
God has uniquely created each of us with spiritual gifts and personal passions, not by accident, but with purpose. He equips us in special ways so we can serve others, strengthen the church, and make a difference in our community. When we step into those gifts, we become part of something bigger than ourselves—sharing God’s love through action. If you’re ready to discover how you can use what God has given you, we invite you to learn more about the many opportunities to serve at Marcus Pointe Baptist Church. There’s a place for you to make an impact.
