First Church Charlotte

October 11, 2020 | Pastor Nathan Elms The Church is such a celebration of goodness and rightness and righteousness... Whether parenting or marriage or just prudence and temperance... a lived well-lived becomes testimony... This creates tension... is the church a hospital or a health club? Big difference... different goals... A church either fails or succeeds with this balance... But there is a simple solution ... all focus must return to Jesus… Christianity celebrates the life-giving sacrifice of a single man, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus’ life was witnessed by an extraordinary lineup of single women and single men, one of whom would write most of the New Testament. This included the testimony of his resurrection. Some of the earliest churches were started in the homes of single women. Jesus founded the church, the way of radical acceptance.
