Blessed To Bless; Loved To Love.

“God has raised this church so that God’s presence and God’s power can be manifested in this city.” –Rev. Dr. Sam Vassel

In this past Sunday’s sermon, Pastor Sam noted that God has blessed Bronx Bethany Church of the Nazarene with a wonderful staff of pastors and leaders, a vibrant worship life, and a faithful congregation. But, he also noted that communities of faith do not exist in a vacuum: they exist to be a blessing to their home cities, and even to the entire world.

How can you and I bless? Here are a few practical measures:

v  Participation in local and global missions
v  Charitable giving
v  Living lives that reflect the character of Christ and the fruit of the Spirit
v  Intercessory prayer

God of love, teach us to love our neighbors.
God of blessings, help us to bless the world.
