What We Believe (Morse Street Baptist Church)

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God and inerrant in the original writings.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that the lost and sinful man must be saved, and that man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

We believe in and practice the holy ordinance of water baptism, which signifies the believer's death, burial, and resurrection into new life with Christ Jesus, and the regular celebration of Holy Communion as commanded by our Lord.

We believe in the present ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; those that are saved into the resurrection of life and those that are unsaved into the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. 

It use to be that on some mornings I would wake up thinking about all the things I needed to do. I would feel so overwhelmed that I dreaded getting out of the bed. The Lord instructed me that when I wake up, before I get out of bed the first thing I should do is to thank Him for blessing me to see a new day and then ask Him to help me to accomplish everything He wants me to do in that day. That new perspective inspires me with a readiness to start the new day knowing that God will be with me and He is my strength. Have a great Monday in Him!

One of the most encouraging truth in Scripture is that God is always with us. He promised never to leave us, nor forsake us. He is the best bodyguard in the universe! He is our Jehovah Nissi! We are never alone and always protected.

Christian Husbands and Wives

Today and last Sunday our sermon theme has been Christian husbands and wives treating each other with Christ-like conduct particularly when the marriage is going through a trial. In 1 Peter 3:1-7, the wife is to submit to her husband even if he is not treating her in a Christian way. And the husband is to have an understanding attitude towards his wife including showing her honor as his wife.
We live in a culture that is pro-divorce and anti-godliness. Question: What are specific things a Christian husband can do to help keep his marriage godly strong? And what are specific things a Christian wife can do to keep her marriage godly strong? I would love to hear from everyone. Maybe your suggestion could help strengthen Christian couples. Singles you are invited chime in. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
