It has been a long, but exciting journey that brings us to this incredible place and time! I am excited and full of anticipation for great things to come! But we know as Christians, whatever great things are brought about as we follow Him, none of it will have much meaning unless it is birthed and maintained in the love of God. <\/p>\n
The Bible teaches us in Ephesians 3:17-19, that if we are \u201crooted and grounded in love we will be able to comprehend with all believers the far reaches of God, that we will experience the love of Christ and be filled with all the fullness of God.\u201d Most Christians embrace this scripture, but in many cases it seems to pale into mere philosophy. At Testament of Love Church, we embrace it as reality and the threshold of the open door to a new life!<\/p>\n
The far reaches of God are those places where the love of God calls us to, places that are far beyond the reaches of human effort or discipline. This God-kind of love is not a philosophy or an unrealistic platitude; it is very simply \u2013 a Person; it is God Himself. It is the great attribute that is God and caused Him to send His Son into this world to pay a price that none of us could pay, and release us from a debt that rendered us helpless to even hope to pay. BUT, \u201c\u2026God so loved (us) the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\u201d (John 3:16)<\/p>\n
Experiencing this love is what unites us in our understanding of the Gospel, which is a record of the greatest expression of love this universe has ever witnessed, and bears out the greatest price ever paid for anything at any time \u2013 anywhere! For all who desire to walk in this love and experience the life of God, let me be the first to welcome you to Testament of Love Church, which we affectionately call TLC.<\/p>\n
Testament of Love Church has been established to proclaim the reality of this wonderful love that\u2019s offered to everyone. Throughout all human history it\u2019s the only love revealed to mankind that gives us an understanding of God\u2019s unquestionable acceptance of all who come to Jesus. It\u2019s the love that empowers us, transforms us and breaks through the barriers of human limitations, because it\u2019s what gives us our identity as sons and daughters of our limitless God.<\/p>\n
If you desire a more fulfilling life that yields far greater rewards and the potential of making the greatest impact on this world, then we invite you to Testament of Love Church and join us for worship as we connect with other believers who desire to fellowship around the Word of God.<\/p>\n
We know that God has an incredible plan for each of us. He has an incredible plan for you! We believe that He desires you to be equipped with a wonderful testimony of His love for you that will bring you to those far reaches of His unfailing love!<\/p>\n
