Who we are, our whole identity, is guaranteed by the actions of one man – Jesus. Our lives – here and in eternity – depend on Him. His death and resurrection provide a fixed point in time that is our anchor. Nothing in all creation can remove or dislodge this anchor. Our faith, our hope, our reason and purpose are all found in him.
Jesus and Only Jesus Saves

Bible Passage: Acts 4: 5-12
+ expand5 The next morning the leaders, the elders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses met in Jerusalem. 6 The high priest Annas was there, as well as Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and other members of the high priest’s family. 7 They brought in Peter and John and made them stand in the middle while they questioned them. They asked, “By what power and in whose name have you done this?”
8 Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit and told the nation’s leaders and the elders:
9 You are questioning us today about a kind deed in which a crippled man was healed. 10 But there is something we must tell you and everyone else in Israel. This man is standing here completely well because of the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth. You put Jesus to death on a cross, but God raised him to life. 11 He is the stone that you builders thought was worthless, and now he is the most important stone of all.
12 Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone.
