Napoleon Church of the Nazarene

Pastor Ben starts off our new sermon series, "Generosity". We may think that being generous always has to do with money, but in this series, we'll learn what Jesus says about being generous in how he live and serve others; all starting with the heart. Generosity is the currency in the Kingdom economy of God.

Pastor Dave Dooley shares with us part 4 of the series, "The Daniel Dilemma" where he talks about our testimony in sharing the gospel through a heart of love. Looking through 1 Corinthians 13, he shows how anything we do without love as the motivation will be as nothing. Through Daniel's life, we can see how his love for the Father and others was his prime motivation for standing firm in a culture of compromise.

Pastor Ben teaches from the book of Daniel in part 3 of our series, "The Daniel Dilemma". He shows us through scripture how vital it is to know and be confident in your identity through Christ. When you stand on the truth of who Christ is and who you are through Him, it will embolden faith, courage, and inspire others to stand firm when the rest of the world wants you to bow down.

We are in part 2 of our Daniel Dilemma Series. As we read through parts of Daniel chapter 4, Pastor Justin teaches on King Nebuchadnezzar's pride and how even while showing outward praise toward God, his heart was still full of himself, blinding him of the truth and the vision of his downfall. We as Christians can be prideful in our appearance of outward worship toward the Lord that we can become blind in our thinking that others need to "look like us" instead of just knowing who Jesus is first. It's about our heart and keeping our focus on Jesus and not on ourselves.

Pastor Dave Dooley introduces us to our new series, "The Daniel Dilemma" where we'll walk through the book of Daniel and learn how to stand firm and love well in a culture of compromise. We start in Daniel chapter 1 and talk about what it looks like to stand firm and love well with GRACE & TRUTH.

We conclude our series, "Who We Are", with a focus on ministries and how they are spreading the gospel to the community. We welcome our NapNaz Community Preschool teacher; Sarah Sonnenberg, our Napoleon LifeWise director; Cathy Bressler, and one of our LifeWise teachers; Krista Behm. They share about how they are using this community outreach ministries to share the gospel. Pastor Ben then encourages us to go out and share the gospel message to the world around us.

Pastor Justin Braun talks about connecting together as believers in our second week of our series, "Who We Are". He brings to the platform Brandon and Kristin Stacey who share about their life changing experiences with being involved and connected to the body of Christ.

Over the next 3 weeks, NapNaz will be walking through a series called, "Who We Are". This week, Pastor Ben Hartford shares the Lord's vision for our church as enter into a season of equipping the saints to do the work the Lord has uniquely gifted each and every believer to do.

We end our Colossians series taking an in depth look into the last part of chapter 4, where Paul is taking time to acknowledge his fellow laborers in Christ. From this portion of scripture, Pastor Ben has showed us that a life in Christ is a team effort. What is your role in the body of believers as you continue to do everything for the Lord and be surrendered to Christ Alone!

Pastor Justin Braun leads us in week 12 of our of series through the book of Colossians. We take a look a Colossians 4:2-6 where Paul talks about being steadfast in prayer being watchful in it with thanksgiving. Even while Paul was being prisoned, was encouraging the body of Christ that among difficult obstacles in this life, we can navigate through prayer and being thankful to God.
