Our Beliefs

North Shore Christian Fellowship has been formed as a body of  believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We are not a denomination, nor are we opposed to denominations as such. We simply want to work harmoniously with all those who call upon the name of Jesus in truth.

 We Believe...
the Godhead Exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three Persons are one God having precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections.

 The Lord Jesus Christ
In His eternal existence as God,
His incarnation and virgin birth,
His death on the cross as the atonement for sin,
His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead,
His present ministry of intercession in heaven, and
His personal, future return to earth. 

The Holy Spirit...
convicts people of sin and the need to repent. It is His task to conform the believer into the image of Jesus. He indwells the believer, leads into all truth, provides daily guidance, gives gifts (I Cor. 12) and most importantly, fruit - especially love - without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians (Gal 5:22 & 23). It is by being filled with the Spirit that the believer receives the power to live the Christian life (Acts 1:8 & Eph. 5:18).

 The Bible...
is the inspired, infallible Word of God and is relevant and applicable to people today
(2 Tim. 3:16 & 17).

Mankind
Adam was created innocent and pure. However, according to Romans 5:12-21, he fell through the sin of disobedience. Thus, we have inherited a sinful condition and broken fellowship with God.

Salvation...
is by grace, a free gift of God apart from works,
 . . . requires repentance, a turning from one's own way to God's way,
 . . . is through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
. . . all who receive Jesus are regenerated, "given new life," by the Holy Spirit
and become the children of God, and
 . . . true salvation will be manifested by a changed life.

Jesus is Good News!

GOD'S LOVE: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16. Ever wonder how much God must love us, that He would give His Son? Ever ask yourself, "Would I have done that with my son?"

MAN'S NEED: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23. Sin has built a wall of separation between God and mankind. If we are ever to get close to God, sin must be dealt with.

JESUS' PURPOSE: "And you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." Matthew 1:21. If someone is not aware of sin in his/her life, they will never see their need for Jesus.

More Good News!

LIFE: "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10. Jesus does more than merely forgive people of sin. He imparts a quality of life that has purpose and meaning; life that includes love, joy and peace.

REST: "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28. Jesus wants us to come to Him now, just as we are, not trying to "clean up our act" first. He can give rest to our very souls.

COST: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8. You can't earn forgiveness, but you can receive it for free! How?

BORN AGAIN: "Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3. Asking Jesus to come into your heart, forgive your sins, and to lead you through life is the born again experience.

JESUS KNOCKS: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20. Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart. Won't you welcome Him in?

PRAYER: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9. You can pray something as simple as this: Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I want to turn away from my sins. Jesus, please come into my heart. I want to be born again. I want to follow You. Please make me the person You want me to be. In Jesus' name, Amen!

KNOW THIS: "He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:12 & 13. When you ask Jesus to come into your heart, God wants you to know that He forgives you.

What happens next? Growth. How can we grow?
1. Praying/talking with God.
2. Reading your Bible
3. Fellowship/Church
4. Telling others about Jesus.

NSCF's Threefold Purpose

INWARDS
Edification of the Body: "We do all things, beloved, for your edification." 2 Corinthians 12:19
A) To have a high view of the Body of Christ. We really do need each other, and we really do need to love one another, for that is the mark of a disciple of Christ. Being here should demonstrate that being committed to this group of believers is a top priority in our lives.
B) Edification means to build up the church members. Another reason we are here is to become more equipped to carry on the work the Lord has for each of us. A game at Aloha stadium can have 50,000 spectators - who desperately need exercise - critiquing 22 players who desperately need rest. But here we should be participants, not spectators.

OUTWARDS
Evangelism of the Lost: to have a correct view of the fallen condition of mankind and to have a compassionate heart for them and their salvation. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15. Everyone needs Jesus. Pray that the Holy Spirit moves upon the hearts of people as we gather, showing them their need for Christ and to genuinely turn from their sins to the abundant life in Jesus!
