Nicene Nazarene, Part Four: Apostolic.

In this final part of Pastor Sam's series we considered a question: How do we know we're in the apostolic church?

-We witness the apostolic attitude in action: the one who is greatest is the servant of all (Mark 10:42-45);

-We wield the apostolic authority as holders of "the keys to the kingdom" (Matthew 16:17-19);

-We work the apostolic announcement: the Kingdom of God is evidenced through our repentance, our forgiving spirit, and signs and wonders that are made possible by the power of the Holy Spirit.

One; holy; catholic; apostolic.

That's the church we belong to. That's the church we long to be.
