Who We Are

St. Joe Church of Christ is here to CONNECT people with God and each other, to provide an atmosphere where we can GROW our faith in God, and to SERVE one another in the name of Christ.

What We Believe

1. St. Joe Church of Christ is a congregation that recognizes the Bible as God’s inspired and authoritative word (2 Timothy 3:16).

2. We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s only son and that He is literally God in the flesh; becoming a man after already existing as God in Heaven (John 1:1,14; Philippians 2:6-11; Colossians 1:17).

3. We believe that Jesus died on the cross, on purpose, so that He might be the perfect sacrifice for our sins (Romans 5:1-8).

4. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after He was crucified. His resurrection demonstrated His power over death and validated His words and ministry (1 Corinthians 15:3-7).

5. We believe that Jesus will return some day to take us to be with Him in Heaven, and that He will reign with absolute power and authority (Matthew 24:36-44, 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17).

6. We believe that a person needs to accept Jesus Christ to be saved from sin and to go to Heaven (John 3:16; 14:6).

7. We believe the way to be saved is found in the Bible. It says that a person must hear and believe that Jesus is God’s Son (Romans 10:14); they must understand that they have fallen short of God’s Glory by sinning against God (Romans 3:23); they must realize that they cannot make it to heaven on their own merits: it is by God’s grace that we are given the opportunity to be saved (Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 6:23); they must confess their belief in Christ and be willing to place their trust in Him (Romans 10:11); they must be baptized (immersion) into Christ for the forgiveness of their sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38; Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-7).

8. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells true believers and acts as a Counselor, Comforter, Teacher, Developer of spiritual fruits and Giver of spiritual gifts (John 14:25,26; Galatians 5:22,23; I Corinthians 12:4-6; Ephesians 4:11-13).

9. We believe the church is God’s people (Matthew 16:18), consisting of those who are saved in Christ. The church is to give glory to God in worship (Ephesians 5:19,20); to evangelize (Matthew 28:19); and to teach the believers how to bring glory and honor to Jesus in their lifestyles (Ephesians 4:5), recognizing Him as Head of the church (Ephesians 5:23).

We know that is a lot to take in, so just

Come & See!

Before The Gospels: Jesus In The Prophets

By: Donny Goff

Series: Past Sermons

We’ve been looking in the Old Testament and have found that right from the beginning, Jesus was there. Jesus was at creation. He is the one who not only created everything but holds all creation together. Last week we looked at the law, the first five books of the bible. In those regulations of life that God gave us, we once again see Jesus. The perfection God deserves cannot be achieved on our own. We cannot be good enough to come to God. Which is why, God designed a way. That plan is Jesus. Since we cannot overcome evil, the need for Jesus in our lives was shown in the law. Before the Gospels, prophets foretold of Jesus. Join us as we see Jesus in the Prophets.

Before the Gospels: Jesus In The Law

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
This year we are looking intently at the entire life of Jesus. But before we can dive into the Gospels, into Matthew Mark Luke and John, we need to look back into the Old Testament. Last week we looked at Jesus’ role in creation. Today we are going to see how Jesus is in the beginning of the bible. Not just in creation, but in the first few books of the bible. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Join us as we meet Jesus Before the Gospels in The Law. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

Before The Gospels: Jesus In Creation

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
We are going to spend this year looking at the life of Jesus and there are lots of theories about Jesus. From a mythical, made-up person, a good teacher, an embellished person, a rebel against the jews, all the way to the Son of God. So, who is He? Was Jesus a real person? Were the facts about Jesus embellished, making Him more than He was? Did Jesus believe He was God? As we begin our journey of Foundation: An Unwavering Faith we are going to follow the life of Jesus, however Jesus’ life did not begin in the Gospels. Join us for Before the Gospels: Jesus in Creation. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

New Year’s Day

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
How should we enter this new year? What should we do to make the most of this year? Typically, on the New Year’s Sunday sermon you hear a message about a new year and new you. Or something about new year’s resolutions. Instead, this year I wanted to look at what each of us individually and as a church should do to be prepared for this next year. We are going to unpack a few verses in Romans 13. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

Purse: An Invitation to Worship

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
This month of November, we are going to continue to look through the Psalms, but focused more on the topic of worship. Worship has become something that happens at a particular time in a church service. Is that what worship is? Join us as we Purse: A Heart of Worship. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022

Pusue: Faith In Crisis

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
Today we are going to look at Psalm 13. It is considered a Psalm of Lament, or Psalm of sorrow. In the book of Psalms where David is just singing praises to his God, his creator, but we also see it in many of those Psalms where David is in some sort of a pit. Join us as we Purse: A Heart of Worship. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022

Pursue: Majestic

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
Today, we are going to look at a more upbeat and uplifting Psalm. Not only that, it elevates man and woman to the status that they were created to have. A status where they find themselves under the authority of God while being over the authority of all of God’s creation. Join us as we Purse: A Heart of Worship.

Purse: Love Your Enemies

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
Some of you think you don’t have enemies. While you may not have an army setting up camp ready to bring tanks and bazookas against you. You do have enemies. People who don’t like you. People who oppose you. People who are against you. Sometimes others make it unavoidable for us to have enemies. David found it so. He faced many enemies in his life, beginning with the big Philistine Goliath. The Philistines as a whole, other neighboring countries, even his own son. Join us as we Purse: A Heart of Worship even in the presence of our enemies. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022

Pursue: Songs of Ascent

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
These Psalms, the Songs of Ascent, were the songs families would sing together while on their way to the temple. They are the songs Jesus sang with His disciples while He was on His way up to Jerusalem for one of the feasts. Jesus had about a three year ministry with the disciples. So they went up to Jerusalem maybe as many as nine times together. Meaning Jesus most likely sang these psalms with the disciples. Join us as we Pursue: A Heart of Worship. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022

Purse: Help Me God

By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
This year we have been studying the life of David. We have journeyed through the books of 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, and 1 & 2 Chronicles. From there we moved on to the books of Psalms. God calls David a man after His own heart. This has catapulted David to be a recognized hero of the faith. But this has also pushed him to be considered above us, better than us. And yet as we looked through scriptures, we saw that David encountered times in his life where he chose to sin. Through David’s life, he constantly tripped himself into sins. Yet when he finally looked at his sin and then back into the holiness of God, David would worship God, repent and change the course of his own actions. This is what we see makes David a man after the heart of God. It is not that David’s heart was pure and holy, but that David’s inner desire, David’s ultimate goal was to be close to God. Join us as we Pursue: A Heart of Worship. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022

GIVE

Our God is a God of abundance and He loves to give. He sacrificed willingly on the cross and then invited us into fullness of life. As His children, we are called to imitate Him. Our generosity in giving is a demonstration of God’s character and a response to what He has done for us.
