The word Elpis is a transliteration of the Greek word for Hope. Elpis Live Community simply carries the idea of a community “having a living hope that is Christ.”  We exist as a community for the cause of the gospel.

We are here to share the Gospel of truth of our Lord Jesus Christ with the world. “His grace immeasurable and His Loyal love poured for us on that old rugged cross—defines us.(Purpose & God’s Character: Lyengamuwa).” It is very important to understand this truth every day.

The main purpose of this blog is expressed in the following questions:

Who is God?

Who is Jesus Christ?

Who is the Holy Spirit?

How does God work?

Why does the world need God’s salvation accomplished through Christ Jesus?

What does God say about the Church?

What does His Character have to do with my purpose?

We live out the truth of the gospel as a community and share it with delight to the world. This is the truth that satisfies the soul that believes: “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” – John 17:3

SECTION 5. SCRIPTURE FOUNDATION

Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
