Hi Friends,

 

Thanks for visiting our Tawas Methodist Church homepage.  We’re located at 20 E M-55 in Tawas City, Michigan.  You may visit our worship services either in person or online, but we hope to get to know you soon. 

We are so grateful that you took your time to find us.  Let me take a few minutes to introduce the heart of our fellowship.  Jesus Christ said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”  Many are wondering if life can ever be abundant.  Some people feel like they have everything, and still life is not abundant.  So, welcome.  We all have questions, and we believe God has answers.  Do you spend time on social media, but feel lonely?  Are you worried about all the negative news?  Are you religious or not?  Are you dealing with substance abuse or sexual identity issues?  Are you angry or feel lost?  If any of these questions describe you, we believe Jesus Christ has healing answers for you.  Are you wondering if God even exists?  Do you find yourself asking the question, “Why?” about things that seem unexplainable?  We believe Jesus Christ can clear the pathway ahead for you.  Let me repeat Jesus’ promise, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)

God loves you very much.  He has done many things to demonstrate this love for you.  You may feel that God has never done anything for you.  So let me describe three wonderful benefits we all have from God.      

1. He created you.  You are fearfully and wonderfully made. 

2. He knows you have fallen short of his perfect standard.  We all have.  God is Just, but he is also Love. 

3. He sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty for your short-falls (sins).  The price was his life for yours and mine.  Jesus Christ died a dreadful death to pay for our sins.  But that’s not the end of the story. 

4. God raised Jesus from the dead so that you can have the ability to live a new life. 

These are just some of the things God has done for each of us.  When we put our full faith and trust in God, turning away from trusting ourselves, these things start to make a transforming difference in us. 

All of this points to God’s kingdom; a spiritual kingdom and an eternal kingdom.  That’s why Jesus came and died for us.  Jesus has already begun to reign in the hearts of people around the world.  Some day He will return to earth visibly and will reign over all peoples everywhere.  There will be no more sorrow and Jesus will wipe away every tear when He returns.  Doesn’t that sound good to you? 

3 Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”

My great hope is that you, and your family, your friends, your co-workers will put your full trust in Jesus and ask Him to give you the gift of faith in what God has done for us.  If you believe what Jesus did for you, it will change your life, and you will influence others in the same way. 

So, Welcome to Tawas Methodist Church.  Why not reach out to us by email or visit us in person.  Let us know how we can help you in the most wonderful journey of all, the journey of life with God.
