I AM THAT I AM
Exodus 3:14
I AM MINISTRIES WELCOMES YOU
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” - Exodus 3:14 NKJV
Tenets of Faith
The Holy Bible
We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the verbal, inspired Word of God; authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts. We further believe that the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments are designed for our practical instruction in faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:16-27; II Peter 1:21)
​
The Godhead
​
We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons:
-
The Father
-
The Son
-
The Holy Spirit
These three are one God
​
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19)
The Person and the Work of the Lord Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, came into the world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy, and become the Redeemer of a lost world. To this end, He was born of the Virgin Mary, received a human body and a sinless human nature without ceasing to be God. (Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1, 14, 18; Hebrews 4:15; Philippians 2:5-11)
​
We believe that, in infinite love for the lost, He voluntarily accepted His Father's will and became the divinely proved sacrificial Lamb and took away the sins of the world. (Romans 3:25-36; II Corinthians 5:14; Hebrews 10:5-1-14)
​
We believe that He arose from he dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He had lived and died, and the His resurrected body is the pattern of the body which ultimately will be given to all believers. (John 20:20, Philippians 3:20-21)
​
We believe that, on departing from the earth, He was accepted by His Father and that the Father's acceptance is a final assurance to us that Christ's redeeming work was perfectly accomplished. (Hebrews 1:3)
​
We believe that He became Head over all things to the church, which is His body, and in this ministry He does not cease to intercede and to be an advocate for the saved. (Luke 1:35; I Corinthians 15:1-3; Ephesians 1:23; Philippians 2:6-8; I Timothy 2:5; I John 2:1-2)
Salvation
​
We believe that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born again spiritually, and that the new birth of the believer comes only through fiath in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe, also, that our redemption has been accomplished by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this redemption is by the grace of God, and unmerited gift, given in love by God and not the result of any human works. (John 3:7-18; I Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; Romans 4:4-5)
​
We believe that upon receiving the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, the believer passes immediately out of psiritual death into spiritual life, and into fellowship with God. (John 1:12, 5:24)
The Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ
We believe that a future period of great tribulation on the earth will be climaxed by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth as He went in person in the clouds with power and great glory to establish His millennial kingdom. But prior to this tribulation, we believe there will be the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air to receive to Himself into Heaven both His own who are alive and remain until His coming and also, all who have died in Christ Jesus. (I Thessalonians 4:13-17; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 3:10)
Eternal State
​
We believe that at death the spirits and souls of those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation pass immediately into His presence and there remain in conscious bliss until the resurrection of the glorified body when Christ comes for his own, whereupon soul and body reunited shall be associated with Him forever in glory. All those who rejected Jesus Christ will eternally be separated from God to endure His eternal wrath forever. (II Corinthians 5:8; Revelations 20:11-15, 21:1-27)
ACTIVITIES
Bringing Change
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. - James 2:15-17 NKJV
SKETCHES AND SERMONS
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. - Ecclesiastes 2:24 NKJV
PUBLIC OUTREACH
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. - Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV
21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
- 2 Timothy 2:21-22 NKJV
