It’s not about religion! It’s about relationship!
God has shown me the truth and I’m committed to helping others find freedom from the lies of man’s religion. Legalists of all stripes feel they’ve found the secret knowledge and mean to judge others who don’t “do it like we do,” or “look like we do.” This is divisive, arrogant, and not from The Spirit who is God.
I spent nearly two decades in the Hebrew Roots Movement and understand the inherent danger that it presents, in moving away from the grace of God. The grace of God that is accessed from faith in Christ alone bears fruit unto the Father. The fruit is according to Galatians Chapter 5.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Gal 5:26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
First Love Outreach Fellowship is a church born out of a deep desire to share the pure gospel, and the great love and grace of the God who is Love, in the person of Jesus Christ. We want to help you. I’ve been hurt by man’s religion in the church I’ve been a part of since 1987. My family and many I know have been hurt. Jesus wants to bind our wounds and bring healing and restoration.
Jesus is not religion! He is God and God is Love. And He wants to give you an abundant life – a changed life and a confident expectation of the good to come, and the good that is now. Life is hard. We live in a world under the curse. But God is greater. He will walk with us, guide us, and lead us through this world and, one day, into His everlasting presence.
We are not like those who have no hope. Come join us and let’s live this new life in Christ together, enjoying His presence and one another.
