Discover Church - Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Helping People Find Life in Jesus Christ
Our Beliefs:
Discover Church is an interdenominational church that exists to guide people to finding life in Jesus Christ. As a church we believe that there is tremendous value in what God has done historically through denominations though we feel that no denomination has it all together. Therefore, the desire of Discover Church is to welcome all denominational backgrounds that keep Jesus Christ and the Bible at the center of their beliefs and practices. Below is an explanation of what we believe about other key issues in the church.
About the Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, verbally inspired, and infallible Word of God. The Bible is absolute Truth and God's final authority. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
About God
We believe that there is one true living God who is revealed to us as the Godhead existing eternally in three persons. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and these three are as one God. Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
About Jesus Christ
We believe that God the Son is Jesus Christ who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born without sin of the Virgin Mary, to redeem man from sin. We believe Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father. He intercedes for us today as High Priest, Advocate and the sole source of salvation
for mankind. Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
About the Holy Spirit
We believe that God the Holy Spirit is sent from God to convict of sin, righteousness, and to live inside followers of Jesus Christ as a guide, teacher, giver of spiritual gifts, and source of strength. 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1
About Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God; that man sinned (rebelled against God) and thereby incurred both a physical death and a spiritual death (eternal separation from God). All human beings are born with a sinful nature. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1,2
About Salvation
We believe that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and His atonement and forgiveness on the cross. We believe that all who call upon the name of the Lord as Savior and Redeemer shall be saved and will spend eternity with God. Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26;
Romans 5:1
Priesthood of every believer:
Every believer is spiritually gifted by God to serve Him and ultimately build up His kingdom. As a child of God he or she has direct access to God because of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to "full-time" Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation. We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by encouraging every member to find a place of service and ministry. Every believer has direct access to God through prayer and Bible reading. 1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 2:18, Romans 12:4-8, 1 Corinthians 12
