THE
The Full Assurance of Faith
Heb 10:19 And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.
Heb 10:20 By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place.
Heb 10:21 And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house,
Heb 10:22 let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
Heb 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.
Heb 10:24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.
Heb 10:25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. —NLT
Why do we gather the saints?
We gather to participate in the blessing that Jesus is giving in no other place than in His Church. We gather to align ourselves with the plans of God over a region. We gather to be upward focussed. To give glory to God for all He has done and is doing. We gather with an inward purpose. To edify one another and be edified by one another. We gather to have an outward emphasis as we join in the monumental task of disciple-making and bringing salvation to a lost and dying world by declaring the Good News of Jesus! So again the reason we gather can be simplified to
main categories.

We want church to be INSPIRING! “Inspiration”
We believe the church should be a place where people experience God’s presence.
Some things are
1Co 14:24 But if everyone is proclaiming God’s message when some unbelievers or ordinary people come in, they will be convinced of their sin by what they hear. They will be judged by all they hear,
1Co 14:25 their secret thoughts will be brought into the open, and they will bow down and worship God, confessing, “Truly God is here among you!” —GNB
/
- We believe that church should be a place where people learn how the Bible applies to their daily lives.
- Some things are
Eph 4:11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,
Eph 4:12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may beup
Eph 4:13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. —NIV
Oasis City is a place of SALVATION
- We believe that church should be a place where people can accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
- We make it our goal to never leave a service without giving people an opportunity to give their lives to Jesus.
Rom 10:13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.”
Rom 10:14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
Rom 10:15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” —NLTLuk 14:23 So his master said, ‘Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full. —NLT
As we continue to reach people far from God, every one of us can do our part by following these four principles:
THE INVITATION To Recieve Salvation
Does what you believe about God give you:
Peace with your PAST, Power in your PRESENT to live your purpose-filled life now. And prepare you for your PASSING?
I want you to know that JESUS checks all of these boxes and gave His life as a sacrifice so that you could hit the reset and restart your life by being BORN AGAIN.
He doesn’t just offer PEACE with your past; He wants to give you POWER over your past.
He wants to help you embrace your PURPOSEFUL PRESENT and reveal His plan for a POWERFUL FUTURE!
It’s time to finally realize that the something you are missing is actually a someone. His name is Jesus, and NOTHING will fill that missing piece except HIM. The problem is that there is a wall between us called sin that separates us from God. The good news is that The initiating love of God sent Jesus to the world to live a sinless life and to die on the cross to pay the penalty of our sin and rise again and if we would call upon the name of the Lord, we will be saved.
PRAY WITH ME:
If you would like to pray this prayer and mean it from your heart, God will hear you and Christ will come and live inside of you.
Pray with me,
God, I’m sorry for my sin.
I’ve broken your Commandments, and I’ve fallen short of your standards.
Father, I thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross in my place and raising Him again from the dead. Today, I turn from that sin and ask you to come into my life, be my Savior and my Lord. I choose to follow you from this moment forward in Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
