WELCOME

We invite you to worship God with us this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.
4515 Green Acres Drive, Kalamazoo, MI 49009

At Kalamazoo Protestant Reformed Church you’ll experience a traditional worship service in which God speaks to us through Bible reading and preaching, and we reply through singing and prayer. If you’re joining us for the first time, be sure to visit kalamazooprc.org/new for helpful information about our church!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Acts 2:38, 39

Good News

This is the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ
• God created Adam and Eve, the first humans, good and in his image (Genesis 1:27, 31).
• Adam and Eve rebelled against God, and sin and death entered the world and corrupted creation (Genesis 3, Romans 5:12, Psalm 14:3).
• God is holy and just, and we are responsible for the great debt of our sins (Psalm 5:5, Romans 3:20, Romans 6:23a).
• It is impossible for us to pay the price, but God promised a Savior (Genesis 3:15).
• God sent his only begotten Son into the world to die on a cross to pay for the sins of his people and restore their relationship with him (Matthew 1:21, John 3:16-18).
• Salvation is by grace through faith, free gifts of God, not of works (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 John 4:10).
• We must repent of our sins and believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9).
• Christians do good works to show gratitude for salvation and look forward to eternal life with God (Psalm 116:12-14, Matthew 5:16, Revelation 22:3-5).
If you struggle with guilt and hopelessness, look to Jesus! “Seek, and ye shall find” (Matthew 7:7).
