We are a church that believes in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, therefore we exist to know Jesus and make him known in the valley and throughout the world. We desire to bring renewal, restoration and redemption as we tell those around us of the life-giving message found in Jesus. We act by serving those who are in need because we are called to be people of faith and action. Our Mission
The name - Illuminate Community Church. The word "illuminate" means, "to shine the light." It's our mission to shine the light on Jesus by knowing Him and making Him known. There are many metaphors in the Bible that use light as a symbol of God's truth. Jesus said this about himself in John 8:12 "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
In My Father's house are many dwellings; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, you may be also." (Jn. 14:2-3) Jesus was not going to take the Church "out of the world" into Heaven. (Jn. 17:15) He and the Father were going to descend "out of Heaven" and make Their Dwelling in the Church: "Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our Dwelling with him." (Jn. 14:23) The "Place" that Jesus was going to "prepare" for His disciples was the New Jerusalem: "But as it is, they desire a better Country, that is a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a City for them." (Heb. 11:16) The heavenly "Tabernacle" / "Dwelling" / "Place" / "Country" / "City" / "House" of God descended "from out of Heaven" to be "among men." (2Cor. 5:2; 1Thess. 4:16; Rev. 3:12; 21:2-3,10) The Church was "clothed" with that Dwelling (1Cor. 15:52-54; 2Cor. 5:2-4) --which is Christ Himself, (Rom. 13:14; Gal. 3:27; 4:19; Eph. 3:14-16; 4:13; 2Peter 1:19) the incorruptible "New Man." (Eph. 4:20-24; Col. 3:1) Jesus went to the Father so that He might pour out the indwelling "Spirit of truth" upon His elect. (Acts 2:33; Jn. 14:16-17) It was through the Holy Spirit that He "prepared" (Rev. 19:7; 21:2) His heavenly "House." (1Peter 2:5; Heb. 3:5-6) When the temporary, worldly, earthly, hand-made house was thrown down, (in A.D. 70) it was manifest that the Father and the Son had made Their eternal Habitation in and among believers. (Jn. 14:20; Rom. 8:13-14; 2Cor. 4:18 - 5:1-2; Heb. 9:1-10; 1Jn. 2:24; Rev. 21:22) Since that Day, God's children are where Jesus is: with the Father (Jn. 10:38; 14:10-11) in the Holies. (Heb. 9:8-10; 10:19) Through the incorruptible blood, believers are granted face to Face fellowship and union with the Father and the Son. (Jn. 17:15-21; 1Jn. 1:3; 2:24; 2Jn. 1:9) This is the unfading and transcendent Glory of the New Covenant. (Jn. 17:24; 2Cor. 3:7-18)
Hello The Christian hope is not to “go to heaven” but to inherit the earth made new The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus the Messiah suffered and died for our sins, God raised him from the dead and exalted him to his right hand! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government on the earth! Believers will rule the nations with Jesus! We are to repent in light of this. The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! They will rule the nations! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be on the earth! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 The New Creation Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
@@tinastralka7534 Who's voice will the dead hear in 1 Thessalonians 4:16? And don't give me any of that crap about the trumpet of God because it's two completely different scenarios.
@@archangeljesus4369 I was reading a portion of scripture in Daniel about Michael. As a holy angel, he must reflect God’s holiness, righteousness and glory and be extremely beautiful, powerful and awe-inspiring. Just like when you see one of these beautiful, strong, huge powerful horses. They have some kind of a royal air to them, an elegance. I think Michael might be similar to that, but thousands of times more. I´m glad we cannot see him nor other angels, nor don´t know more about them, because the weak mind of the flesh could easily err greatly and worship them, as you do. Christ is the effulgence of God´s glory and the express image of God´s substance, …through whom God made the universe! Thank God for Michael, but praise and worship to Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords ,the Word of God! There is plenty of Biblical proof Jesus is God and Deity. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word . . . (We know from verse 14 that the Word is Jesus. In the beginning, He was already there.) . . . and the Word was with God . . . (At least two Persons are in view here: one called “God” and one called “the Word.”) . . . and the Word was God (The Word is distinct from God, yet He is also called “God.” The Word is divine in His essential nature. John 1:2 He was with God in the beginning (After the essential identification of the Word as God, once again the distinction is emphasized-He was with God when it all began.) John 1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made (Here, we see that the Word is actually the Creator. He made everything. In the Old Testament, we are told that God created everything- Genesis 1:1 John 5:17-18 But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.”For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. John 1:18 “No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.“ Colossians 2:9-10 “For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily. and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
Julie here. Fas. Mom. Each soul will answer for itself. I say Yes to the God Lord. He for the joy that was set before Him. Triune God. Thank-you. Anyone may look up. Triune. K J V. Seek Him. He delights in that.
I do not attend this church but I have been walking my parents who are unbelievers through the gospel of John and this sermon series has helped me so much in leading them to biblical truth. Thank you
