Norway Avenue Church of Christ's Podcast

9. We believe that Jesus will return- Since the return of Christ is imminent we should teach the gospel to the lost with urgnecy. 

10. We believe that love for God and people should be our motivation for everything we do. People will know that we are Christians when we love God and people like Jesus Christ loved us. Without love we cannot benefit from any of the beliefs above.

7. We believe that the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper should be observed faithfully as God intended. Baptism represents identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Lord’s Supper is open to all believers and is a time to commune with the living Christ and his church. The bread represents his body and the wine represents his blood. 8. We believe the Bible is the infallible, authoritative word of God. The Bible is our only standard of truth for all Christian beliefs and practices.

Blessed [are] those who have persevere. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy (James 5:11)

How to prepare and endure life's storms.

We Beleive the church belongs to Christ. The church is spiritualy united as one body with Christ as the head.There are no denominational, geographical, ethic/racial, or gender barriers in the body of Christ. We are all one in Christ and we must make every effort to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

We Beleive that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. Salvation is a free gift from God to man. It cannot be obtained or maintained by good workds. We beleve that justification is the saving action of god wnere he declares sinner righteous by our faith in Jesus Christ

What is So Special About Christmas

Abraham was not justified by works (Romans 4:1-8). He was not justified by religious rituals (Romans 4:9-12). He was not justified by the law (Romans 4:13-15). Neither are we. We cannot get right with God by works, rituals or law. We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ alone [cf. Romans 3:27-28; Romans 4:16-25)
