Welcome to Casa de Cristo Evangelical Church in Phoenix, Arizona!
We opened our Revival on Feb 15th with a powerful Camp Meeting on Friday night. Saturday we learned what Spiritual Gifts God has given us individually and how they work together to build the Kingdom of God. Then the Saturday evening service brought another powerful move of God's spirit. Sunday morning we were challenged to continue in Revival beyond the weekend and Sunday afternoon we were blessed by Christian musicians from alternative to country gospel to classical piano.
The scriptural theme we used was Luke 4:18, 19
18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains, 19 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come. [The Bible in Basic English]
This passage quoted from Isaiah by Jesus was fulfilled through the ministry of Jesus Christ. But His ministry was the example, showing how we, as the body of Christ, must live in the world now. Are you giving good news to the poor? Do you bring healing ministry to the broken hearted? Are you letting people you meet know that Jesus has declared them free from their past? Are you proclaiming this year, the year in which the Lord will act?
Revival is not a time to sit down and bask in the warm feelings you get in worship. Revival is a time to act! Revival did not end last week. Revival is happening now. And we are bringing Revival out of the church building and into the community!
We've added some new features to the web site, including a Calendar listing our regular and special events, and a new photo gallery section. You can see what's here by looking at the Site Map.
Our desire is to be one body in Christ: You are all children of God by believing in Christ Jesus. All of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ as if he were your clothes. There is no Jew or Greek. There is no slave or free person. There is no male or female. Because you belong to Christ Jesus, you are all one. (Galatians 3:26-28 - NIRV)
God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.
God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him. Anyone who believes in him is not judged. (John 3:16-18a - NIRV)
The King James version of John 3:16 says it this way. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that Whosever believeth in Him should not perish but should have eternal life."
At Casa de Cristo it does not matter what your past has been. It does not matter who you live with and love. What matters to us is that you either believe in Jesus Christ as your personal savior or you want to learn more. Getting to know the love of Jesus is a life changing experience. Do not let your past keep you away from the love of God. One thing you will hear a lot at Casa is "Jesus loves you and so do we." Our doors and our hearts are open because Whosoever truly means You!
Acknowledging that Jesus has called the Church to evangelize and disciple the world, we believe that our primary mission is to reach out to the disenfranchised, present the gospel to all people, and to provide a place of worship, discipleship, and fellowship without respect to individual differences. We are:
