Is Jesus alive in this place?

Not our verdict. The witness of the family who have worshiped here.

No one has borne witness yet. If you have worshiped here, be the first to testify whether you found Jesus present and alive in this place. Add your witness.

This is the personal witness of the people who have worshiped here, not Living Bread’s judgment and not a measure of God’s presence. “Test everything; hold fast what is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21) “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” (Matthew 7:16) Read, visit, and discern with the Spirit’s help.

Maybe the church has hurt you.

If people used the name of Jesus to wound you, that is real, and it grieves Him more than it grieves you. But hear this carefully: Christ is not the church at its worst. He is the One who confronted the religious hypocrites, wept with the outcast, and touched the people everyone else pushed away. The failures of His followers are not the last word about Him. If you have written God off for what was done in His name, it is worth meeting the real Jesus, honestly, for yourself. He can bear your anger and your questions. He is not who they made Him look like.

“A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench.”Isaiah 42:3

“And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness.”Acts 2:46

The first Christians were a family who shared their tables and their lives. That family is still here, and there is room in it for you.
