#SalvationIsAGift

“So we we need to stop interpreting through our circumstances and interpret our circumstances through the cross. I mean, if you ever doubt that god loves you and you're going through a terrible, terrible, terrible thing in life, Look back to the gift that he gave us, which is his son. We can't earn what he gave us. It was a gift. It was a free gift. Salvation is a gift.”

#ChristIsEnough

“The world teaches us not to put all of our eggs into one basket. And and I can I can understand that in some cases? Right? I believe in the case of of Jesus and our faith, then we could place our whole faith in him as the only one who could save us. Because anyone who believes is not condemned, that is over with. The believer stands acquitted, not because not because sin is an imaginary thing, but because Christ is sufficient. He is sufficient.”

What are its stated core beliefs?
New Heart Church of the Nazarene states these core beliefs:

- There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- The Old and New Testament Scriptures are divinely inspired and contain all truth necessary for faith and Christian living.
- People are born with a fallen nature and are inclined to evil.
- Those who remain finally unrepentant are eternally lost.
- Jesus Christ’s atonement is for the whole human race; those who repent and believe in him are justified, regenerated, and saved from sin’s dominion.
- Believers are to be wholly sanctified after regeneration through faith in Jesus Christ.
- The Holy Spirit bears witness to both the new birth and entire sanctification.
- The Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and final judgment will take place. (https://newheartnazarene.org/our_beliefs)

Teaching

Which recent sermons would help someone understand the teaching?
The most helpful recent message is the sermon on **John 3:16–21**: it explains God’s saving love, belief in Jesus, and the choice to come into the light rather than remain in darkness. ([01:00:45 from November 09, 2026]) ([01:14:09 from November 09, 2026])

For background, look for the preceding sermon on **Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus in John 3**. It covers being born again and the Son of Man being lifted up, which the John 3:16–21 message builds on. ([58:13 from November 09, 2026])

The church’s Sermons page has links to recent videos. (https://newheartnazarene.org/sermons)

How does the church talk about sin, confession and forgiveness?
We teach that sin is real: humanity has a fallen nature and is inclined toward evil. Yet Christ’s atonement is for the whole human race, and those who repent and believe in Jesus are justified, regenerated, and saved from sin’s dominion. (https://newheartnazarene.org/our_beliefs)

We encourage people not to hide from sin, but to come to Jesus and confess. In the sermon, we describe sin as resisting exposure, while coming into the light means welcoming truth and turning toward God. ([01:17 from November 09, 2026]) We emphasize that God is forgiving and that Christ brings mercy, not condemnation, to those who believe. ([01:19 from November 09, 2026]) The response is to live openly with God in transparency, repentance, and obedience. ([01:20 from November 09, 2026])

How does the teaching approach community and honesty with others?
We approach community as part of discipleship: following Jesus means including others in our journey of grace, with mentoring and authentic relationships as key practices. (https://newheartnazarene.org/discipleship)

We also teach that love involves telling the truth, not just offering comfort. The sermon calls us to live transparently and honestly, and describes testimonies as a way to share with others the peace God has brought. ([00:56 from November 09, 2026]) ([01:17:35 from November 09, 2026])

How does the church approach doubt and suffering?
We approach doubt by directing people to trust God’s promises in Christ rather than relying only on how they feel or what their circumstances seem to say. For someone unsure of their salvation, we point to repentance and faith in Jesus, and to his promise to save; in Christ, the believer is “not condemned.” ([01:09:48 from November 09, 2026]) ([01:14:09 from November 09, 2026])

For suffering, we don’t claim that hardship is easy or explain every reason it happens. We encourage people who are going through terrible things to look to the cross—the gift of God’s Son—as assurance of God’s love, and to trust that he will not leave or forsake them. ([01:08:12 from November 09, 2026]) ([01:14:09 from November 09, 2026])

How does the church approach faith and work?
The church does not spell out a specific approach to workplace or vocational issues, but it connects faith with a life of loving service. Its vision is to see lives transformed by the Gospel through loving relationships and service to the community. (https://newheartnazarene.org/todd_and_lisa_kennedy)

In our teaching, faith is meant to shape how we live: people who “live by the truth” come into the light, and their works are shown to be accomplished by God. We also pray that what we hear will shape our choices and witness in the week ahead. ([01:14:54 from November 09, 2026]) ([01:22:53 from November 09, 2026])

Is an answer based on an official statement or an interpretation of sermons?
It depends on the source: the church website’s “Agreed Statement of Belief” is an official statement, while a claim drawn from the sermon is an interpretation of that sermon. For example, the website formally states beliefs about salvation through Christ and entire sanctification (https://newheartnazarene.org/our_beliefs). In the sermon, we interpret John 3 as emphasizing belief in Jesus and coming into the light; that is sermon-based teaching, not a separate official statement on the website.
