In the year 2000 Jesus is the Answer Church was started as a Bible study in a Gordonsville, Tennessee home. The Bible study grew so much it had to move to the Senior Citizens Center in Alexandria, Tennessee. After two years, God spoke to Rev. Robert Scales to “Start the work.” That is when the Bible study became a Church and began meeting at the Liberty State Bank on the Alexandria Town Square. Two years later, the church expanded again and was blessed to purchase the United Methodist Church building in Watertown, Tennessee. God has been with Jesus is the Answer Church since the beginning. This is evident by the lives that have been touched and forever changed.
What We Believe
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. The Holy Spirit breathed
upon men the very words God wanted them to say.
The Scriptures are Divine revelations given by God and received by man, and as such, are the only revelations that are infallible. Jesus' teachings to the church are SUPREME authority in all matters of faith and morals. The Word of God directly reveals the will of God for all men and for all time.
We believe that Jesus' teachings are above all and should be the foundation of every Christians life. All other Scriptures should be built upon the foundation of His death, burial and resurrection.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
The Holy Ghost will always point you to Jesus
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
Jesus wants us to continue is His Words
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
