Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hector Reynoso and I am the pastor at Genesis Presbyterian Church of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) Mercedes, TX. Who Are We? We are a Christian bilingual church with its roots in the Protestant Reformation. We are not a large congregation and we do not own a building of our own. We are a new church in the EPC but as a congregation we have been a
round for a good while. (visit epc.org or look for us in facebook)
The Church in the 21st Century. Our world is changing in an extremely rapid manner; some changes are good and beneficial, some not so much, and yet some are destructive to society, families and the church. With all these changes come many challenges. With these changes the Christian faith is being challenged more and more; moral changes that are becoming the norm in society are entering the churches even when they go against the Word of God. In order to be faithful to God in the 21st century it is very important to know what churches believe and stand for. What do we believe? Our church, Genesis, wishes to share with you a bit of what we believe.
• We believe we are transformed by the power of God’s Word.
• We believe that the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit and it is the very Word of God. It contains everything that God intended it to contain and it will accomplish everything that He intended it to accomplish.
• The Bible is our authority for everything we believe about God and every way in which God wants us to act and behave.
• God is sovereign and has control and power over all things and no one or anything has power or control over God.
• There is only one living and true God who has existed eternally in 3 persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• In all of His attributes God is infinite, eternal and unchangeable.
• God has provided only one way for our salvation and that way is Jesus Christ. Aside from Him God has provided no other way. “For there is no other name given to men by which we must be saved…” Acts 4:12
• The main purpose for which God created us is to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever. We glorify Him by joyfully seeking to be obedient to His Word and commandments.
• One of the main ways in which we glorify God is by sharing and communicating the gospel of Jesus Christ for the salvation of our sins.
• We believe that God’s will for marriage, according to His Holy Word, is for marriage to be between one man and one woman. What is our main message? Our main message is to let you and the world know that God loves you and your family and that He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, so that whoever believes in Him will be forgiven of their sins and have eternal life. Invitation: If you are already attending a Christian church we encourage you to be faithful in your attendance, service and giving to the Lord at that church. If you are not attending a Christian church and you know that Christ is calling you to come to Him, then we invite you to seek the Lord with us at Genesis. We do not claim perfection; on the contrary, we claim to be sinners… forgiven sinners that is. We are simply trying to live to glorify God by sharing His love, His Word, and His Son Jesus Christ with others. When? Where? At what time? We invite you to join us at our land, Sundays at 12 noon.
