Website

Hey everyone, we have a live website now for Origins Church at www.originsaustin.com. Check it out and let me know what you think. We still have a lot of work to do with the website, but this gets us up and running.

Everyone Matters

This is a simple, yet very profound statement. In fact, its'such a profound statement that Origins Church is built around this idea and philosophy. We have built ourselves around this because we believe that this God's heart. It doesn't matter what you've done in your past, what is currently happening in your life, or how bleak your future looks...you matter to God!

Jesus was the significant example of this. Because of the Father's love for the entire world, he sent his only Son Jesus to this earth. Jesus came to serve the poor, oppressed, marginalized, and hopeless to show them God's love. In other words, Jesus hung out with and placed value on the people that no one else wanted to. The Scriptures even tell us that he spent a significant amount of time with "sinners." This hardly made the religious leaders of his time happy. Then in the ultimate example of love for humanity, Jesus died upon a cross in our place for our sins. This way we have a path back to God and a relationship with him. This is how much God cares about you.

If you mean this much to God, then we are compelled to place value on you and every other person in this world. At Origins Church you matter!
