A word from the Founder: The purpose of this website is to bring glory to Jesus Christ—to help us keep our eyes fixed on Him, to worship Him, to help one another, and to remain focused on Him. One day, we will all be together with Him in paradise. JESUS SAVES!
I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. Matthew 16:24
The Great Commission: Make Disciples, Baptize, Teach Obedience To Commandments
(See Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8)
All authority has been given to Christ Jesus. Our mission is to turn people into active followers and learners of Christ Jesus. Followers are told to move out intentionally and baptize believers in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Believers must teach others to follow everything that Jesus commanded.
We lead by example and demonstration of our most holy faith. Iron sharpens iron. We are a body of many members. We are called to proclaim the good news, to preach repentance, to declare that God Almighty sent His only begotten Son, and to encourage receiving power from the Holy Spirit.
We are to be a witness to the nations, and that starts at home first. Then we shine a light in our communities, towns, cities, and our county. Hallelujah! Let’s take this good news everywhere!
The Old Rugged Cross is putting displays in the ground of Ozark County as part of The Great Commission!
