At Hurst Baptist our goal is “Striving Together to Live the Gospel.”  We would like to invite you to visit our church and see the gospel in action. The reason we exist as a church is because of the gospel’s constant work in our lives. The beauty of the gospel is that God moved to save mankind when we could not save ourselves. While we can do nothing to earn our salvation, the Bible presents the gospel as something more than just a stationary set of facts about salvation. Our church exists to display the vibrancy of the gospel through our lives to the glory of God and we would invite you to come see the gospel’s difference in our lives.

Foundationally, the gospel is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 explains that the gospel is about Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. The gospel is alive because Jesus is alive. In addition, the gospel is the “power of God unto salvation” (Rom. 1:16). The saving power of the gospel is not just a one time act that occurs in a moment of time and is relegated to the past. The power of the gospel continues to save us from our sinfulness and allows us to please God with our lives. Paul pictures the gospel in a vibrant way as continuing to bring forth fruit in people who have placed their faith in Christ (Col 1:4-6). God designed the gospel to permeate and influence every area of our life so that we can reflect the continued work of the gospel on a daily basis. We strive together because living the gospel is difficult work. Another grand truth of the gospel is that it brings us into fellowship with one another (Phil. 1:5). We are constantly in need of assistance from other believers to encourage and admonish each other in our gospel pursuit. Therefore, Hurst Baptist is “striving together to live the gospel.”

We would greatly enjoy a visit from you at our next service. The opportunity to meet the needs of your life through the gospel would be a wonderful privilege. The fellowship of our people would be an encouragement and the services will draw you closer to God through traditional gospel hymns and Bible preaching. It is our desire to display the power of the gospel to change lives as we exalt our Lord, evangelize the lost, and edify other believers. Please accept our invitation to see the gospel in action at Hurst Baptist Church.
