#HolySpiritPower

“You have the Holy Spirit or you don't. You're operating under the power and the influence of the Holy Spirit or you're not. And you can come to church, be a part of God's people, you can serve other people, you can do all these things. But if you're not operating in the power of the Holy Spirit, if you don't have God's living spirit dwelling in you, if you quench the Holy Spirit, this is a solemn warning to God's people. And it's something that's been there all along or it hasn't.”

#IntimacyWithGod

“We need intimacy with you, God. There's no outward form of religion. There's no work of ministry or service. There's nothing we can do that will fill the place of intimacy with you, of coming to know you, you knowing us, knowing our soul. Pray for my brother or sister here today that feels a little bit far from you. I pray today that they draw close to you once again. I thank you for your love, father. I pray this in your name. Amen.”

#WalkInTheSpirit

“Jesus' challenge to us today is to have a walk with him, is to live and to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit through prayer, through Bible reading, through the means of grace, communion, all the ways that we tend to the flame, all the ways that we pour a little bit more more oil in. Because when we get to the end of our life, it's gonna be revealed whether we have the oil or not.”

What are its stated core beliefs?
Hendersonville Nazarene Church states three overarching core values: **Christian**—believing Jesus is the Son of God, who died and was raised, and offers forgiveness and restored relationships; **Holiness**—believing the Holy Spirit cleanses and renews people in Christlikeness, empowering love for God and neighbor; and **Missional**—believing Jesus calls the church to share the gospel, beginning with its neighbors. (https://www.hendersonvillenaz.org/who-are-we)

Its doctrinal beliefs also include one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; the authority of Scripture; humanity’s fallen nature; salvation through Christ; entire sanctification through faith; the Holy Spirit’s witness; and Christ’s return, resurrection, and final judgment.

Teaching

Which recent sermons would help someone understand the teaching?
The most relevant recent sermon is our teaching on **Matthew 25 and the ten bridesmaids**. It explains Jesus’ call to be ready for his return, emphasizing that readiness is more than outward religious activity—it involves a personal relationship with him. ([23:14 from November 09, 2026]) ([43:10 from November 09, 2026])

The message also connects the parable’s oil with life in the Holy Spirit and encourages tending that relationship through prayer, Scripture, and other means of grace. ([48:52 from November 09, 2026]) ([51:29 from November 09, 2026])

How does the church talk about sin, confession and forgiveness?
The church teaches that human beings are born with a fallen nature inclined toward evil, but that Jesus’ atonement offers forgiveness and restored relationships to all people. Those who repent and believe in Jesus are justified, made new, and saved from sin’s dominion. (https://www.hendersonvillenaz.org/who-are-we)

It also describes holiness as the Holy Spirit’s work of cleansing believers from sin and renewing them in Christ’s image, so they can love God and their neighbors. The provided materials don’t spell out a specific practice of confession. (https://www.hendersonvillenaz.org/who-are-we)

How does the teaching approach community and honesty with others?
We approach community by making room for people as they are and creating regular ways to build relationships and grow together. Connect Groups study Scripture and build relationships; Wednesday discipleship groups invite people to ask questions and encourage one another; and our welcome page says visitors can participate at their own pace without being put on the spot. (https://www.hendersonvillenaz.org/plan-a-visit)

We also teach honesty about what can—and cannot—be shared. In Jesus’ parable of the bridesmaids, the wise ones’ refusal to share oil is not presented as selfishness: they explain that sharing would leave everyone unprepared. We apply that to personal faith: others can support us, but they cannot give us their own relationship with God, so we should be honest about our own spiritual lives rather than rely on appearances or someone else’s faith. ([39:31 from November 09, 2026]) ([41:31 from November 09, 2026])

How does the church approach doubt and suffering?
The church’s posture is welcoming and unpressured: you don’t need to have faith—or life—figured out before coming. Visitors are invited to ask questions, participate as much or as little as they’re comfortable with, and take things at their own pace. (https://www.hendersonvillenaz.org/plan-a-visit)

For uncertainty, we teach that Jesus’ followers may not get every answer they want; in a sermon on Matthew 24–25, Jesus’ disciples ask when the temple will be destroyed and when he will return, but Jesus does not give them a date. The emphasis is on staying ready and continuing to walk with God. ([21:54 from November 09, 2026]) We also encourage practices that sustain that relationship, including prayer, Bible reading, communion, and life in the Holy Spirit. ([52:21 from November 09, 2026])

The material provided doesn’t lay out a specific theology of suffering. Practically, though, the church says people unable to attend in person because of health still have a place and can join worship online. It also offers smaller groups for Bible study, relationships, and growing together. (https://www.hendersonvillenaz.org/media)

How does the church approach faith and work?
The church presents faith as something that shapes everyday life, not just Sunday worship: it calls people to live like Jesus in community and share his love through service. Examples include serving food and support through the Walton Ferry Food Pantry and building friendships through Hoops Church. The website doesn’t specifically describe a theology of workplace or career, but it frames faith as something lived out in how people love and serve those around them. (https://www.hendersonvillenaz.org/; https://www.hendersonvillenaz.org/who-are-we)

We also teach that work in ministry or service cannot take the place of a personal relationship with God. That relationship is nurtured through prayer, Scripture, communion, and life in the Holy Spirit. ([52:21 from November 09, 2026]) ([53:18 from November 09, 2026])

Is an answer based on an official statement or an interpretation of sermons?
The interpretation of the oil in Matthew 25 as representing the Holy Spirit is from a sermon, not an official statement on the church website. The sermon presents it as one possible interpretation (“what a lot of folks think”), while the website’s official beliefs separately describe the church’s beliefs about the Holy Spirit and sanctification.
