NICOMA PARK CHURCH
OF CHRIST
The Nicoma Park Church of Christ is a small, loving
group of people.
The Church of Christ
is people, not buildings.
We are from a diversity of race, occupations, and backgrounds.
Some of us are:
-
White/ Black/Brown/
Red/Yellow
-
Construction workers/Teachers/Military/Stay-at-home moms/Students
-
Young/Old/In-between
-
Country/Metropolitan
-
Mature/Babes in Christ
-
Weak and Struggling/Strong and Sound
All of us have been sinners
1 and all of us have been
forgiven 2
and are united 3 in
obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ (i.e., simply being
Christians 4).
1
Romans 3:23,
2
Ephesians1:7-8, 3
Romans 6:4-5,
4 Acts 11:26
The good news is Jesus Christ died for our sins
5, lives again to give us
hope 6, and sits at the
right hand of God serving as the only mediator between us in our
weakness and God in His perfection7.
5
1 Corinthians
15:3,
Hebrews 9:15,
1 Peter 3:18;
6
Romans 14:9,
Revelation 2:8;
7
Ephesians 1:20,
Hebrews 1:3,
1 Timothy 2:5
It is the perfection of Jesus Christ that sustains
us and gives us freedom from sin.
If we had to depend upon our own goodness, we would be already
condemned. For Romans 3:10
tells us "There is on one righteous, not even one"
We wear the name
Church
of Christ with
pride; much like a bride wears the name of her husband and united, committed
to his name and no other 9.
9
Revelation 21:2
We wear His name to signify we are a group of
people belonging to and following Christ—following His teachings and no
other 10.
10
Matthew 19:4-6
We are part of the church that Christ established,
added by God in the same way and with the same obedience as the first
century church.
In a world a bit short on love, we love each other
deeply, and we want to share that love with you also.
