Scriptures Of Help
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in
want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 119:50
My comfort in my suffering is this:
Your promise preserves my life.
Psalm 119:76
May your unfailing love be my comfort,
according to your promise to your servant.
Isaiah 25:7-8
On this mountain he will destroy the shroud
that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death
forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces;...
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for
you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future."
2 Corinthians
1:3-5
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all
comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can
comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have
received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over
into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
The Holy Bible is the Complete,
Infallible, Inerrant, Inspired Written Word of the Living, Sovereign God.
And is the final authority on what a Christian is called to believe. 2 Timothy 3:16 2 Peter
1:19-21 Romans 15:4
The Lord God Almighty is
Creator of all heaven and earth. He is most Perfect, Holy, Wise, Righteous,
Loving and Just. This means He is no mere spectator but that He reigns supreme
and secure, that no one can thwart His divine will. His will is firmly established
throughout time according to His counsel and good pleasure. He is God, we
are not. Nor will we ever become as God.Gen 1 Job 25 &
26 Col 1:16-17,Rom 11:33-36 Ps 139:6-8
Deut 3:24
God is of one essence yet
subsists in three persons - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit.Gen 1:26 3:22 John
1:1-14 Matt 1:18-23,Heb 1:1-8 Matt 28:18-20
The Death, Burial, and Bodily
Resurrection of Jesus Christ, God in flesh who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, is the Only acceptable sacrifice and atonement for sinners. Thus it
is by God's Grace & Mercy through Faith alone by Christ alone that we
are saved from the eternal punishment in hell that we all deserve, because
we are sinners by human nature and have sinned against God. We are not saved
of our own good works, it is the Gift of God accomplished by Jesus Christ
on the cross and assured and secured by His Resurrection!Matt 27:34-28:20 1 Peter
2:22-25 Rom 6-9,Jer 13:23 Eph 2:8-9
John 3:16-17,John 14:5-7 1 Thes 1:10
Ps 7:11-13
Scripture Alone - Grace
Alone - Faith Alone - Christ Alone
To God Alone be the
Glory!
