  Cross Community Church of the Nazarene (C3NAZ)

Loving, Learning, Living

These three words are the actions we see the first church in the Bible participating in.  Loving God through worship, Learning from Christ and the culture around them, and Living as Christ in the world for the sake of others.

This is what we seek to see happen here at our church.  Loving, Learning and Living are like the three blades on a wind turbine.  Like the turbine they must be anchored to something.  For us, that something is the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  This has changed everything!  And like the very first church in Acts chapter 2, we are called to re-examine and re-evaluate our lives based on this.  With out the anchor, the turbine cannot do its work.

Another thing to note about the turbine is that all three blades are necessary.  If one blade is damaged or not present, the turbine fails to function.  Loving God without Learning and Living is hollow.  Learning without Living and Loving is arrogant.  Living without Loving and Learning is incomplete!

But the most important thing to remember is that all three blades are nothing without the wind.  The church must always turn into the Spirit.  We are anchored but flexible.  If not, then when the Spirit changes direction we are left to rust.  But when we are, we harness the energy that He gives us.  An energy that sustains us, supports us, comforts us and motivates us.  Loving, Learning and Living with the Spirit transforms us into “A New Church for New People.”

So take the challenge:
One action, in each category, every week.
Loving = Worship service
Learning = Christian Education, Small Group
Living = Service in or out of the church

Face the Spirit.  Love, Learn, Live.  Join us as Jesus makes us “A New church for New People!”
