For the past several weeks our pastor has been doing a study on Wednesday nights about what other denominations believe, which has been very interesting and all leading up to what do we believe. We, being the Church of the Nazarene.
It has been interesting to hear how and when other denominations began. It was exciting to hear how the Church of the Nazarene began, Abby-Lynn and Gracie-Mae heard that message and they loved it!
I am proud of our church and the heritage it has!
The Church of the Nazarene has three core values-
1) Christian
2) Holiness
3) Missional
We believe in the Trinity- Father/Son/Spirit, we also believe in santification, a second work of grace. The christian life doesn't end with getting saved and an eternal home. That is where your life begins, that is where the work begins and that is where God's work in you begins. That is when you have the honor of passing on the same love and grace that God has shown to you onto others.
I BELIEVE that God is the beginning and the end, I BELIEVE that Jesus died so that we all may live, I BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit is with me every day guiding me in the right direction and showing me God's way!
As our pastor says and Gracie-Mae's says "We are a Nazarene with hope"
May we all love, forgive, care, hope, share and give...as Jesus has taught us to!
Until next time...
