Who is Jesus?

Jesus stands at the heart of the Christian faith as the solution to our greatest need - to be right with God. Find out who Jesus is in this two-minute video. If you have any questions or would like more information, please email us on info@immanuelchurchbodmin.org or give us a call on 01208 640079.

 

Christianity is about Jesus. But who is Jesus?

Jesus once asked his followers this question:

"Who do you say I am?"

  • A prophet with a new teaching?
  • A healer to the sick?
  • A saviour to a lost world?


WIC.1

Jesus claimed each of these, but most importantly, he claimed to be God in the flesh.

At the dawn of time he ignited human history when he spoke. He breathed life into the lungs of the first man and woman - and every inch of creation itself.

WIC2

But we rebelled. We turned against our King and followed our own ways, even though it would cost us our life. Our sin poisoned his perfect creation, giving way to sickness, injustice, and death.

WIC3

Sin separated us from one another, and from God.

Why did Jesus come?

But rather than cast off humanity, God sent his Son Jesus to enter into the world he Created - the one broken by our sin. He breathed our air, became human like us.

WIC4

He lived a perfect life - the one God intended we live - and called us to repent of our sin and follow him in faith. 

Some believed his word and recognised him as King. Others denied him. They crowned him with thorns and murdered him. They rejected him, and so have we.

But God had a plan. Jesus willingly gave himself up to die on a cross to save us from God's judgment and the death we deserve.

WIC5

On that cross, he exchanged our rebellion for his obedience. Our brokenness for his perfection.

The Son of God died so we could live.

And on the third day, he rose to life again, defeating death forever.

And now, he sits on the throne of heaven, offering life through the Holy Spirit to all those who repent and trust in him.

WIC6

What does it mean for us?

Jesus is the King of Kings.

You can either crown him or crucify him. There is no middle ground.

No one will ever ask you a more important question than the one Jesus asked:

Who do you say I am?

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those visiting for the first time, so that you know beforehand what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday meeting starting at 10:45am. We recommend arriving a little  early to ensure you get a parking space! When you arrive, you'll be greeted by someone from our Welcome Team.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and disabled toilets in the main foyer.

Our Sunday meetings are informal and include songs, prayers, Bible teaching and news about what's going on in the life of the church.  We normally finish at around 12.30 and then there's time to chat over tea, coffee and biscuits. There's also always an opportunity to request prayer and ask any questions.

What About My Children?

We welcome children of all ages - here's what we provide on a Sunday morning:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years). Children under 6 months are very welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/carer at all times. We have an area adjoining the main hall, with seating, toys and a sound link so that parents/carers can hear what is going on in the main meeting.
  •  Sunday Club (key stage 1&2, 3-11 years). This group meets in a separate room with space for all the fun activities that the children get involved in. Each parent/carer must register children for Sunday Club at the start and pick them up at the end.
  •  Young people (key stage 3 and above, 11+ years). Young people stay in the main meeting.

Children stay with their parent or carer at the start of the service for the welcome, songs, prayers and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. Someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy. 

Sunday Club activities usually include, bible stories, music, prayer, craft, drama and fun games. Please pick your children up as soon as the main meeting finishes.
