 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!

    The Miracles of Christ: Hindering a Miracle
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    There are a lot of theological concepts which we accept on faith, but which are incredibly difficult for us to understand. The Trinity, in which God is three natures in one person. The eternal nature of God in which we believe that God has always existed, knows all things, and has complete power over this universe. These are all difficult things to understand, yet there is one concept that many of us have a difficult time wrapping our brains around. These miracles we have been studying are so miraculous and life changing, it can be hard for us to fathom. But we believe. More than that, we know they are real and true. But this next miracle is different. In many ways this interaction with Christ is very relatable.

    The Miracles of Christ: Not Just Another Fish Story
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    We have all heard fishermen tell stories about how big the fish was that they caught or how big the fish was that got away, and we wonder how close to the truth it was. In the scriptures we are going to look at today, we will see that Peter had a fish story to tell that many people would find unbelievable.

    The Miracles of Christ: Healing the Withered Hand
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    Jesus was under a lot of scrutiny. The religious leaders of the day were constantly looking to trap Jesus. Last year we looked at a time when Jesus and His disciples were walking through a grain field. They picked some of the wheat, rubbed it in their hands, and then ate it. The religious leaders, who were out there waiting and watching, accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath laws. Right after the challenge about the wheat, we come to another encounter with Jesus. And this time they want to catch him in the act. What does Jesus do? Join us as we see His response to their accusations.

    Why does God do miracles? He does miracles to prove the truth of the Gospel and of who Jesus is, was and will be! The Messiah, The savior of this world! But there is more! Join us for The Miracles of Christ: Touching the Leper #stjoecoc #ComeAndSee #Momentum2024 #PreparingForWhatIsToCome

    The Miracles of Christ: Calming the Storm
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    Have you ever been afraid of something? Fear is a universal experience and fear is a God-given emotion but God does not want fear to cripple us or control us. He wants to help us control our fears and the main way we do that is through faith in Him. Today as we continue looking at some of The Miracles of Christ, we come to a scene where the disciples faced a fearful situation and how having a greater faith in Jesus could have helped them deal with their fears in a better way.

    The Miracles of Christ: Curse of the Fig Tree
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    As we continue today in our sermon series in the miracles of Christ, we come to an event that is often left out. This event is odd and uncomfortable. It is tucked in between some very well-known verses, so most of the time, people just focus on those areas and leave this one alone. It is a miracle, a curse really, that seems like it has no point. However, every encounter with Jesus is important and there is lesson to be learned. Join us for The Miracles of Christ: Curse of the Fig Tree. #stjoecoc #ComeAndSee #Momentum2024 #PreparingForWhatIsToCome

    The Miracles of Christ: The Bleeding Woman
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    We are starting a new sermon series. For the next several weeks we are going to look at some of the miracles that Jesus performed. What is a miracle? People will say “It was a miracle I arrived on time.” Unless you were teleported from your house to the destination, it was not a miracle. More likely you were speeding. A real miracle is a surprising event that is not explainable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency. Today we are going to examine one of The Miracles of Christ: The Bleeding Woman. #stjoecoc #ComeAndSee #Momentum2024 #PreparingForWhatIsToCome

    Easter: The Resurrection
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    Easter is a great day. On this day, we celebrate the most important day in the life of a believer; the day of Jesus victory over death, hell, and the grave. It is this victory that gives us the profound description of Jesus Christ, as the Resurrection and the Life. Easter is the day we remember the power of Christ.

    Easter: The Triumphal Entry
    By: Donny Goff
    Series: Past Sermons
    Our theme for the year is Momentum: preparing for what is to come (Hebrews 12:1-2). Over the last few months, we have seen how Jesus’ ministry is increasing momentum. Gaining speed towards the pinnacle of His earthly mission. For the next few weeks, we are going to look at the crowning point of His life on this earth, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join us today for Easter: The Triumphal Entry. #stjoecoc #ComeAndSee #Momentum2024 #PreparingForWhatIsToCome

 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.
