First Things First

New Year's Resolutions are a ritual that seem to set us up for failure. We laugh at our inability to keep them, to actually improve our lives in significant, meaningful ways. Genesis 1 demonstrates that if we want our lives to have meaning, we must live according to the Order, the Way God set up for us. This order is available to us again in the wake of Jesus' death and resurrection!

From Series: "First Things First"

We ended 2012 in the Revelation, exploring how Jesus' coming into our lives is the End of the World as we know it. But if Jesus' coming is the End, it's also a new beginning. Jesus' death and resurrection reconnect us with God, open up a world that has been lost to us since Sin entered into the world. So to kick off 2013, we're going to dive into Genesis 1-2. We'll explore God's original intentions for the world, and the implications for our new life in Jesus. After all, in the new year, it's good to get the First Things First!

This year, Beavercreek Church of the Nazarene turns 60 years old. Over the last 60 years, we’ve made Jesus famous in our community by Bridging Church to Neighborhood. As Jesus has for us, we’ve gone into our neighborhoods, taking Jesus’ love with us and showing our community in tangible, practical ways that Jesus loves them.

Now it’s time to take the Next Right Step. What will Beavercreek Nazarene look like in the next 60 years? What kind of church will we become? For the month of September, we explore our new vision, imagining together how it will shape our announcement of the Jesus’ Good News in Beavercreek, Ohio. We want to become the Church that connects and engages the unchurched in our neighborhoods.
What does that look like? Join us as we dream together!
