Love Has the Final Move - October 12, 2008

Love Has the Final Move

Texts: Psalm 46:1-3, 10-11; Romans 14:1-12; Matthew 18:21-35; Exodus 14:19-31; Revelation 18:11-16

Juxtaposing the text from Exodus against the various riders in Revelation reminds us that though our back may seem up against a wall, though we may be at the end of our rope, and though it feels like it may be almost over, Love has the final move.

The Church as the Chosen People of God - October 5, 2008

The Church as the Chosen People of God

Texts: Psalm 24; Exodus 19:1-6; Matthew 5:43-48; I Peter 2:1-11

Today we celebrate 100 years of the Church of the Nazarene. Pastor Jon reminds us that we don't celebrate a denomination, but the movement of God through His people. As the Church, we are part of the chosen people of God--we are His, we are Holy, we are Sent. Or, in terms of our Core Values, we are Christian, we are Holiness, we are Missional.
