About Us
Who We Are
We are a community of people who love and worship God. We live in fellowship and we are called to share the good news of salvation which can only be found in life with the Lord JESUS CHRIST. While serving the Lord’s kingdom in the present we look forward to the return of the Lord Jesus, bringing justice to all and the glorious, perfect kingdom of God.
GOD’S LOVE FOR US
The Father loves us—by grace—with the same love He has for the Son. This is the best news we could ever hear. The Father cannot stop loving the Son, He cannot stop loving us either. We persevere and have assurance because God loves us with an everlasting love. Let us be grateful for this love and call others to trust in Christ that they would know this love as well.
John Calvin reminds us that we enjoy this love not because we are inherently lovable but because we are united to Christ. Because we are in Christ by faith, we are God’s beloved children. God loves us with an enduring, undefeatable love because of Jesus.
Calvin writes, “That love which the heavenly Father bears towards the Head is extended to all the members, so that he loves none but in Christ.”
1 John 3: – 1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
OUR LOVE FOR GOD
This is the greatest journey that anyone can embark on
TO LOVE GOD – especially as he as instructed us to.
There needs to be an authentic love for God that starts with God-oriented affections, desires, and thoughts, that permeates our speaking and behavior, and then influences the way we spend our money and how we dress, and drive, and our forms of entertainment. Whether we’re eating or singing, jogging or blogging, texting or drawing, love for Yahweh — the one true triune God — is to be in action and seen.
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Cor 10:31
Our prayer is that we will be authentic in every area of our lives. We cannot be one person at church and another person at “life”

4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:
5. The third day he rose again from the dead:
6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
8. We believe in the Holy Ghost:
9. We believe in the holy Christian church: the communion of saints:
10. The forgiveness of sins:
1l. The resurrection of the body:
12. And the life everlasting. Amen.
HEEDING GOD’S CALL
We have all sinned and deserve God’s judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, “Jesus is Lord,” you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
OUR LOVE FOR PEOPLE
Christian Love – Christ’s Commandment to LOVE is at the heart of our response to each other!
Jesus said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35).
John, wrote, “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death” (1 John 3:14).
At LWM we strive to Love one another as God has instructed us to do.
The Lord instructed us – “Walk before Me and be blameless” (Genesis 17:1)
God is not asking us to be “Sinless” —although that is ultimately what He wants us to strive towards
(Philippians 2:5; Hebrews 4:15).
God is seeking a people whose hearts seek after Him.
We do this by living by His standard daily and consistently so that our human nature is replaced by God’s Holy Spirit dwelling in us
(Romans 8:7-9).
God wants us to come out of the world around us and to be complete in Him, wholly focused on His way of life.
God gives us every opportunity and assistance in order to help us achieve His standard of being blameless when we ask Him.
At Living Waters Ministries We strive, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to be upright before God and to help each other to
“walk before [God] and be blameless.”
