JESUS LOVES YOU
Jesus Loves You
We’re glad you’ve landed on this page. It exists for one reason:
To introduce you to Jesus, and to the love of God made known through Him.
A Longing We All Share
Most of us sense that something in life is not quite as it should be.
We look for meaning, peace, and connection in many places. Sometimes those things help for a while. Often they do not last. Many people feel tired, anxious, lonely, or disappointed, even when life appears fine on the outside. And many quietly wonder if there is meant to be more to life than this.
The Christian faith takes this experience seriously and has genuine hope to offer.
What Went Wrong
The Bible describes the world as both beautiful and broken.
We recognise this in ourselves. We are capable of love and generosity, but also of selfishness, harm, and avoidance. We hurt others. We carry guilt, shame, and regret.
The Christian word for this fracture is sin. It does not simply mean wrongdoing, but a deep disconnection from God, from others, and from our true selves.
Left to ourselves, we cannot fully repair what is broken.
God Did Not Leave the World as It Was
Christians believe that God was not willing to leave the world fractured and disconnected.
The heart of the Christian story is not humanity reaching for God, but God moving toward humanity. God’s response to our brokenness was not distance or condemnation, but presence and rescue.
At a particular moment in history, God took on human life in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe He is the Son of God, sharing God’s very life, sent in love for this broken world, to rescue and restore it.
In Jesus, God steps fully into the human condition. He knows weakness, temptation, suffering, grief, and loss. He enters our reality as one of us.
This is love in action.
Why Jesus Matters
Because Jesus is both fully God and fully human, He stands uniquely in the gap between God and humanity.
He lives the life of trust, obedience, and love that we have failed to live. He embodies what it looks like to be truly human, fully alive to God.
When Jesus goes to the cross, where He is executed by the Roman authorities, He does not do so as a tragic victim or a moral example alone. Christians believe He willingly bears the weight of sin, guilt, and shame that separate us from God.
On the cross, as Jesus dies, God takes responsibility for restoring what we could not repair.
This is why forgiveness is possible.
This is why Christian hope has substance.
What Jesus Has Done
Jesus gives Himself.
In His death, He absorbs the cost of our brokenness.
But He doesn’t stay dead! God raises Jesus from death to life and in doing so opens the way to new life for all of us.
The resurrection declares that sin does not have the final word. Death does not have the final word. Failure does not have the final word.
Love does!
This is the good news. Jesus loves you! Not from a distance. Not in theory. But by giving Himself for you.
A Response That Leads to Life
Love always invites a response.
The response Jesus invites is a turning of our lives. A turning away from what has led us toward emptiness, harm, or death, and a turning toward the One who gives life.
This is not about earning God’s love.
It is about receiving it honestly.
To follow Jesus is to trust Him, to let go of what is destroying us, and to step into the life He offers. It is a movement of the heart, the mind, and the will.
If this is new to you, or if something is stirring as you read this, you can respond right now. You might pray:
“Jesus, I turn toward You.
I turn away from the ways that have led me from life.
I trust You as the Son of God.
I receive Your forgiveness and new life.
Teach me to follow You.”
This turning is the beginning of freedom.
The New Life Jesus Gives
Christians believe that when someone turns toward Jesus in trust, God does something real and personal.
God gives His Spirit to dwell within us. Not as a force or feeling, but as His own presence at work in our lives.
This is how new life begins.
The Spirit of God awakens faith, reshapes our loves, and begins restoring what has been broken within us. We are not only forgiven; we are renewed from the inside out.
This is what Jesus meant when He spoke of being made new. A new beginning. A new direction. A new way of living, grounded in God’s love.
Life does not suddenly become easy. But it becomes meaningful. Purpose begins to take shape. We discover that we are not accidents, and not alone, but invited to take part in God’s work of renewal in the world.
Why This Is Hope
The love of Jesus does not deny the brokenness of the world.
It meets it. It carries it. It heals it.
This is why Christianity offers hope that lasts. Not because life becomes easy, but because love has entered the centre of it. And because this love is at work not only in us, but in the renewal of all things.
Jesus loves you!
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Faith is personal, but it is not meant to be lived in isolation.
If you would like to talk, ask questions, or explore this further with others, we would love to hear from you. There is no pressure, only an open invitation.
Where This Leads
Everything else you see in our life as a church flows from this story.
Our belief that God loves us in Jesus shapes how we live, how we care for one another, and how we seek the good of the city. You are welcome to explore that at your own pace, and to join us along the way.

WORDS OF LOVE FROM THE BIBLE
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. ”
“For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.”
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
