What does this mean for me?
Forgiven
Your past doesn’t own you anymore
We’ve all made mistakes that leave us feeling dirty, ashamed, or stuck. But Jesus doesn’t hold your past against you. On the cross, He paid for every sin, past, present, and future. When you come to Him, your slate is wiped clean.
Free
You don’t have to keep running
Sin traps us in addictions, guilt, shame, and cycles we can’t break. Many of us spend our lives running from pain or chasing peace. Jesus doesn’t just forgive you, He frees you. With Him, you don’t have to keep hiding or striving. Real freedom is found in His love.
Forever
Life with God starts now and lasts forever
Eternal life isn’t just about heaven someday, it starts the moment you believe in Jesus. From that point on, you walk in peace with God and carry the promise of forever with Him. Death does not have the final word, because Jesus has opened the way to everlasting life.
The Gospels
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are four accounts of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.
Together, they give us a clear picture of who Jesus really is and why His story is Good News.
Today Can Be Your Day
All that’s left is to believe with your whole heart that Jesus came to this earth, died, and rose again for your sins. Today can be the day you step into His salvation.

Why a Physical Bible Matters
There’s something powerful about holding God’s Word in your hands. A Bible on your phone is convenient, but a Bible in your hands is grounding. Both are good, and together they help you grow strong in your faith.
The Bible has been translated many times to make it easy to read and understand. Here are a few solid choices for new believers:
- NASB 1995 — very accurate, word-for-word, great for deep study.
- ESV (English Standard Version) — faithful and readable.
- NIV (New International Version) — clear and easy to follow.
- NLT (New Living Translation) — thought-for-thought, very beginner-friendly.
If you’re just starting out, try the NLT or NIV for easy reading. Then as you grow, explore the NASB or ESV for deeper study.
