Everyone is searching for something. Forgiveness, hope, family, purpose, connections, help, redemption…

 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!

Old to New
By: Donny Goff
Series: Past Sermons
Today we come to a perplexing event with Jesus. As we have been looking through the life of Jesus, so we can live out our faith on His foundation, we come to Matthew 9:13-17. In the first part of this chapter, Jesus calls Levi, his Jewish name. His Greek name is Matthew. He worked as a Tax Collector for the Roman government. This occupation labeled him an outcast among his own people. Then came Jesus. Join us for Old to New. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    Faith Filled Friends
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    Jesus worked an astounding number of miracles while He was here on earth. But counting His birth, resurrection and return to Heaven, only 40 of these miracles are detailed in the four Gospels. In Matthew 9:1-8, Jesus crossed back over the sea to Capernaum, and there He worked another great healing miracle. The healing of a paralyzed man. Join us as we meet this man and his Faith Filled Friends.   #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    Draw Near
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    Last week we looked at the demon possessed man in church. Today we are going to look in the book of Luke for the next encounter with Jesus. Luke wrote his Gospel so that Theophilus might have certainty concerning the things he had been taught about Jesus (Luke 1:1-4). Luke wanted Theophilus, and others like him, to know for sure that Jesus is the Son of God who had come to seek and to save sinners. Luke recorded 21 miracles by Jesus in his Gospel. Today we will examine the miracle of Jesus healing a leper. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    Responding to Jesus
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    We have looked at the early part of Jesus ministry. From His baptism, His calling of the disciples, and His temptation. Last week we looked at Jesus in Nazareth, about how those people had the Messiah in a box. Today in Mark 1 Jesus in in Capernaum. Even though Jesus was from Nazareth, the majority of His ministry was done in “Capernaum,” which was located on the northwest edge of the Sea of Galilee. Just like last weeks passage, Jesus is teaching and the people respond. A response is always expected when we encounter Jesus. Join us for Responding to Jesus. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    The Jesus Box
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    This morning we will look at a passage in Luke’s Gospel, where a group of people who know Jesus very well, tried to stuff Him into their box. The problem was that Jesus’ purpose and His whole ministry was way too big to be contained in any box dreamed up by the thoughts of mere men. Join us for The Jesus Box. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    Stirring Up The Sabbath
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    Have you ever been criticized for doing something good, something that helped another person? Maybe what you did for someone else was life-changing, yet there was someone or a group of people who just had to put their two cents in. If you have ever faced criticism for doing something good, today’s event will hit home with you. Join us as see how Jesus stirred up the Sabbath.   #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    His Will At The Well
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    How many of you feel like your life is in the fast lane, that all you seem to do is hurry to everything? A lot of people fill their lives with activities. They go to this and that event, they spend this much time at work, this much time on their own projects. They are constantly busy. And yet, are they really productive? A lot of people live busy lives without ever stopping to think, “What does God want me to do?” As a result, they hurry from one project to another. And they feel like slaves, wearing themselves out without accomplishing what God considers important. Join us as we see what God’s word says about being busy verses being productive.   #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    Today we continue to follow the life of Christ, so we can build a foundation of unwavering faith, we are going to look at John 3. This is where John the Baptist effectively conquered jealousy among his own followers. What can you do to combat this terrible, subtle enemy? What can you do to conquer jealous comparisons before they conquer you? #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    The Cost of Worship
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons

    Last week we looked at Jesus’ first recorded miracle. As we continue following Jesus through His earthly life we are going to see how Jesus interacts with people. How Jesus talks to the spiritually lost. How Jesus talks to the spiritually arrogant. How Jesus interacts with creation, and how Jesus responds to the crowds. Throughout His earthly life, we need to remember that Jesus was a Jew. Which meant He would follow the Jewish laws and rituals. Jesus would have went to the Synagogues, and the Temple. Jesus observed all the Jewish festivals, including the Passover. Today we are going to see the first recorded Passover of Jesus’ ministry. Join us as we see The Cost of Worship.#stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

    Water To Wine: A Taste Of What Is To Come
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    For those who choose to live according to Jesus, according to the foundation of His word, they will be built up as Holy priests, the living temple of God. Those who reject Jesus, their lives will stumble and fall. They will find the fate of full separation from God. This is why we want to make sure we are following the example of Jesus, obeying His word. Today we are going to the glory of God revealed and how those who witnessed were changed. Join us for Water to Wine: a taste of what is to come.

 Life Groups are different from a basic Bible study. These small groups help grow true disciples through living life together with other believers. When you join a Life Group, you involve yourself in the gaining and processing of biblical knowledge in community, to grow in relationship with God and each other. In Life Groups, you will be encouraged together, rejoice together, and more. Through Life Groups, you will have opportunities to Connect with God and each other; Grow in your faith, and Serve one another in the name of Christ. 

 If you want to join a Life Group or are interested in hosting a Life Group, please let Donny know and he will help you get plugged in.
