Galatians 5:6

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

From Background Notes [BN] for October 26^th & 27^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

From this we discern the importance of grounding every value in its core, which for C1 turns out to be expressed in four different, but related, ideas:

Faith

Family
Friendship
Father Along

Here’s an additional note about the General Church to which our local Nazarene congregation belongs. It, too, has stated Core Values, found on its website,3 and made available in several languages: 1) We are Christian; 2) We are Holiness; 3) We are Missional. In 2007, our church studied these in a series called “NazaWhat,” for which we supplied Background Notes (September 15/22/29, 2007). When C1 presents its own Core Values, they are completely in harmony with the ones which unite Nazarenes around the world, yet stated in ways that reflect the context where the local church finds itself. This should become evident throughout this new series. [BN,3]
