Welcome to the website of Mountain Road God's Missionary Church! I have been serving here as the pastor for the past several years. God has been helping us, and we have seen growth spiritually as well as increase numerically, for which we are very grateful. I'm often reminded of the words of Jesus in John 15:5 - '...without Me ye can do nothing', as well as the declaration in Zechariah 4:6 - '...Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."

IT IS FINISHED
(John 19:30; James 1:15)
In the lovely Garden of Eden
God placed the woman and man
They both joyfully submitted
Unto their Creator's plan.
Then the subtle serpent appeared
And challenged their Maker's Word
Convincing Eve to question
The things she thought she'd heard.
Instead of believing God's truth
She listened to Satan's lie
If she ate from the tree of knowledge
She would not surely die.
She partook of the forbidden fruit
Then Adam willfully joined in
And into the world they ushered
The fatal disease called sin!
Feeling their guilt and shame
They now hid in fear and dread
They realized that God had meant
Exactly what He had said.
In the days and years that followed
Every creature that was given breath
Learned that sin, when it is finished
Always will bring forth death!
Nailed to a rugged cross
The Second Adam hung in shame
Dying for the sins of humanity
Although He was without blame.
In the midst of pain and suffering
The Son of God then cried,
'It is finished' – He declared
Then He bowed His head, and died.
Sin and Satan had been defeated
The sacrifice was now complete
The Second Adam had triumphed
And trampled death beneath His feet.
He rose victoriously from the grave
And offers us full salvation
When we repent of all our sin
He will make us a new creation!
Every member of Adam's race
Will die, because of their sin
But the Second Adam offers life
To those who open their hearts to Him.
Determine your fate today
Which ending will be yours?
It is finished – in sin and death
It is finished – with Christ the Lord!
