WHAT WE BELIEVE
We Preach a Message of Hope
There is only one way that you can have hope in this life, and that hope is found in the Gospel. Our prayer at Foursquare is that you would come to faith in the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He is the only one that can truly save you and give you eternal life. We desire that you would seek the Word of God (the Bible) in order to answer your questions. This message is one that can bring you true hope if you will believe.
“But they that wait [hope] upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” – Isaiah 40:31
What We Believe
“What we believe” determines our choices, our behavior, and the course of our entire lives. In today’s culture, there has been a rejection of absolute truth and an acceptance of any system of beliefs, no matter what they are. However, we believe that the Bible is a solid source of absolute truth upon which we can base our choices, behaviour and lives, and we seek to sift all of our beliefs through the grid of God’s unchanging Word.
The Bible is God’s Word, and it is absolutely true. II Timothy 3:16 states, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” That means that every part of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, were breathed out by God Himself.
