Show Notes

As a schoolgirl in Guatemala, Sonia was encouraged to earn her ticket to heaven by doing good works. Upon visiting an American church, Sonia was able to see the difference between her culture’s mantras and Biblical truth. That changed everything. Knowing God in this light has allowed Sonia to weather significant storms with faith in God’s goodness. 

If you would like to know how to have assurance of salvation, please read 1 John 5:11-13, Ephesians 2:8-10, and John 1:12-13.

If you would like to know what God says about abundant life please read, John 10:10-11 and Psalm 23:5-6.

If you would like to know that God knew you before the foundation of the world and that he has plans for your, please read Ephesians 1:3-5, Jeremiah 29:11-13, Philippians 1:6, and Psalm 139:13-18.

If you want to know how God manifests His faithfulness in your life, please read 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, and Philippians 2:13.

If you would like to know what God says about the purpose of trials, please read James 1:1-8, Romans 5:1-5, and Psalm 23:1-4.

If you would like to know the benefits of meditating and studying God’s Word, please read Joshua 1:8, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Psalm 119:9-11, Romans 10:17

Do you want a relationship with God too?

If you have never made the choice to accept God's offer – a gift, not by works – to be restored to the original design for your life - relationship with God for eternity (on earth and in heaven after physical death), now is the time. Here's a message that will help you understand who He is, who you are, what choice you have, and what happens when you make the decision.

The importance of a Biblical faith community:

All listeners are encouraged to engage in a local church community to learn more about Jesus, the Bible, and to experience God through relationship and community. Listeners from the Northern Virginia area are welcomed at Burke Community Church and anyone seeking an online church service can find one here.

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 12:12

Just like a body can’t function if it’s all an eye or a hand, the community thrives when everyone contributes in their unique way. We are not designed to be alone; we’re designed for a community of faith.
