Pastor Jerry is sharing a three part sermon series about who are the Brethren. And the way he is going to approach this series is by looking at the Brethren identity through its motto or tag line. The Brethren tag line is this, “Continuing the work of Jesus: peacefully, simply, and together.”
As we begin, I want to point out the importance of the phrase, “Continuing the work of Jesus.” One of the things that sets our Brethren tradition apart is that we are relentlessly focused on Jesus. A core part of our tradition is that Jesus is the window through which we view all parts of our life and our faith: from how we worship, how we read the Bible, to who we welcome, to how we understand the world around us, to the work that we do on a daily basis, to how we treat each other, all of it goes through the understanding of Jesus first. Therefore, it’s really important to actually know what Jesus taught, to know what exactly the work of Jesus was, and to have a close relationship with Him.
Please joint in this important look into the people of the Church of the Brethren continuing the work of Jesus.
