WHO IS JESUS?
What makes Jesus more important than any figure in human history is not just His miracles and fame, but Jesus Himself was more than a man… He is God. Every prophet before and after him pointed men to God, but Jesus pointed men to Himself. He made audacious statements like: “I am the way the truth and the life” and “If you have seen my face you have seen the Father’s face.” Other genuine men of God were appalled when people tried to worship them as gods, but Jesus did not discourage men to fall down and worship Him, rather encouraged them saying “where are the others?” and “if they will not shout (to worship and exalt as I pass by), the rocks themselves will cry out.” The Bible says that even demons knew Jesus and trembled in fear.

Join us at Victory Chapel this Sunday, as we discover who Jesus is and how He can radically change our life by power. Our firm conviction is that Jesus alone can permanently break addictions, heal sickness and restore broken hearts and families.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
• There is only one God, and He is eternally existent in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
​
• God the Father is the Creator of the universe. He created man in His own image for fellowship, and called man back to Himself through
Christ after the rebellion and fall of man.
​
• Jesus Christ is eternally God. He was together with the Father and the Holy Spirit from the beginning, and through Him all things
were made. He left Heaven and became incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary; henceforth,
He is forever one Christ with two natures–God and man–in one Person.
​
• The Holy Spirit is God, the Lord, and giver of life, who was active in the Old Testament, and given to the Church in fullness
at Pentecost. He empowers the saints for service and witness, cleanses man from the old nature,
and conforms us to the image of Christ.
​
• The baptism in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, subsequent to conversion,
releases the fullness of the Spirit, and is evidenced by the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
​
• The Bible containing the Old and New Testament is the only infallible, inspired Word of God, and that its authority is ultimate, final,
and eternal. It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseded in any regard. The Bible is the source of all doctrine, instruction,
correction, and reproof. It contains all that is needed for guidance in godliness and practical Christian conduct.
​
• Christ’s vicarious death on the cross paid the penalty for the sins of the whole world. Its benefits of healing
(body, soul, and spirit) are provided for in the atonement as well.
​
Salvation is a free gift of God, based on the merits of the death of His Son,
and is appropriated by faith. Salvation is affected by personal repentance, belief in the Lord Jesus (justification),
and personal acceptance of Him into one’s life as Lord and Savior (regeneration).

THE SINNER'S PRAYER
The “Sinner’s Prayer” is a term that describes the words spoken by a person when he or she has recognized their sin and their need for a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It goes something like this:
​
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me not to sin again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Savior of my soul and the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
​
If you decided to repent of your sins and receive Christ today, welcome to God’s family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.
