TIMELSS NETIVCORE BELIEFS
-
We believe the Bible is God’s living and inspired Word — the map for every step of life’s journey. It lights the path ahead and keeps us from losing our way. When we walk according to God’s Word, we walk in truth, freedom, and peace.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105
-
We believe that the path of life begins and ends with Jesus Christ. He is the visible image of the invisible God — the One who not only shows us the way but is the Way. When Christ is at the center, every path we take finds purpose and direction.
“He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” — Colossians 1:17
-
We believe the path to God is opened by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. We do not earn this path; we receive it. Through His cross and resurrection, Jesus cleared the way home to the Father and invites us to walk with Him in freedom and forgiveness.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith…” — Ephesians 2:8
-
We believe the Holy Spirit walks with us, shaping our hearts and minds to reflect the heart and mind of Christ. On this path of transformation, we learn to listen, obey, and live by His power — becoming more like Jesus each step of the way.
“Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” — Galatians 5:16
-
We believe every person we meet along life’s path bears the image of God. No one is beyond His love or His reach. Following Jesus means seeing others through His eyes — with compassion, respect, and a heart to restore what’s been broken.
“So God created mankind in His own image.” — Genesis 1:27
-
We believe followers of Jesus are called to walk the same path He walked — serving, giving, and going wherever He leads. Our mission is to bring hope to others and help them find their own path with Christ. Every step we take matters for eternity.
“As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.” — John 20:21
-
We believe this journey ends not in despair but in renewal. One day, Christ will return — and based on our confession of faith and the grace of God — Christ will lead us into God’s glorious kingdom. Until that day, we walk with confidence, knowing the One who leads us will finish what He began.
“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’” — Revelation 21:5
The Mind of Christ
Having the Mind of Christ isn’t about imitation—it’s about participation. Christ in us, through His Spirit, makes it possible to think, love, and live in a way that reflects Him. The Mind of Christ is something God gives, not something we achieve on our own.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6
Walking with Jesus
We live in a world full of competing voices and endless options. But the Bible is clear: there is only one true path to life, and that path is Jesus. He isn’t just another option—He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. When we follow Him, we find the direction, hope, and purpose our hearts were made for.
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” — John 14:6
