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.

Here is the whole thing, in a breath.

God made you and loves you. Something is broken, in the world and in every one of us, and the Bible calls it sin, and it separates us from Him and from who we were meant to be. God did not leave us there. He came Himself, in Jesus, lived the life we could not, took the death our sin deserved, and then walked out of the grave three days later. And now He offers, as a gift you cannot earn and can only receive, forgiveness, a new life, and Himself. That is the gospel. It is either the best news in the world or nothing at all, and it is worth finding out which.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”John 3:16

How to come to ChristMeet JesusLearn to pray

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another.”Hebrews 10:25

We were never meant to follow Jesus alone. A church is simply the family He gives you for the road.
