From our network of churches, MFI, we hear Pastor Justin Cardinal of New Testament Church in Massena, NY.

In Jesus I find purpose, identity, and increased ability.

“I am free forever from condemnation.” – Romans 8:1-2

A personal relationship with Jesus Christ means that you are accepted.

Jesus followers show love to each other by intentionally building life-giving relationships with each other.

The message that Jesus wanted to be communicated, first and foremost: “There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.”

The love of God brings me to a lifestyle of sharing, peace, and joy.

We are each uniquely designed by God, with love. Our design is connected to God’s redemptive work in our world and the purpose God gave the human race at the beginning.

Psalm 86:11-13 Let’s come to understand what God is asking us for, and let us respond with wholehearted devotion. “Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. With all my heart I will praise...

God our Creator and Redeemer is worth praising with the best of our energy. 

In the birth of Jesus, we see how God wanted us to understand Him. This includes an approachable humility and a courageous love. New life is now available. God has given an opportunity to be involved in something bigger than our lives alone.

“Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” – Luke 1:76-79

Jesus made a way for us to be cleansed from our mistakes.

Nothing is impossible with God.

Build your life on the teaching of Jesus.

Thanking God for your salvation will lift your spirit.

In Luke 18:18-30, Jesus calls us to follow him and value what will last forever, more than what is temporary.

“God blesses those who are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” – Matthew 5:7
