Archive for hope

As a child, Hip Hop artist Lecrae’s world was void of good role models. Growing up with a single mom, he would watch rap videos at his grandmother’s house and developed an ability to rap himself. Yet Lecrae wrestled with insignificance, having never met his father and enduring a life of abuse and neglect. He sought to fill this void by surrounding himself with gangsters.

Before long, Lecrae was embroiled in a world filled with drugs, theft, alcohol and gang activity. “I didn’t fit in anywhere. I was just a misfit of a person,” he said.

Little did he know that his view on life would soon be jolted, opening his eyes to the One who valued his life as significant. The One who cared enough to die for him. The One who is behind his music.

Real service - Genuine faith in Christ will naturally lead to acts of love and service.  This love and care will, we trust, be a hallmark of our church family as we share our lives together.  We aim also to be a blessing to the wider community of Carlisle.  We will pray for the city and demonstrate Christ’s love by serving those in need.

Real hope – In a society where many are losing hope for the future, we have the answer – Jesus Christ.  So in all we do we will point people to Christ.  Jesus is the hope for those without hope.  He is the answer to their most pressing need for he offers forgiveness of sin.  Only Christ can rescue from the consequences of sin and give certain hope in the face of death.  Only Christ can give people a fresh start.
