Napoleon Church of the Nazarene
We exist to see people come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. The church is so much more than a building. It is a body of believers called by our Lord Jesus Christ to share the Gospel with those who do not yet know who Jesus is. As the church, we gather together regularly through Sunday Morning Worship, activities, groups, and much more.

Pastor Britni teaches from the book of Habakkuk. This book from the prophet is a dialogue between him and God. Right away we see how relational our Heavenly Father is when He responds back to Habakkuk's questions and complaints. He is a God who is fully present in our sorrows and even loving enough to tell us the truth, even when it's hard. But we can rejoice in the Lord, for we know He is faithful, even in the times of destruction...

Pastor Ben walks us through the book of Zephaniah. The Lord calls out destruction on the land of Judah for their idolatry pagan worship. However, God calls us out the meek and humble, those who seek righteousness, they will be the remenant of Isreal and turn their trust back to Him. We should be upholding ourselves with humility, righteousness, and a gentle strength that comes from having trust in the Lord, not ourselves or other w...

Pastor Ben teaches from the minor prophet book of Micah. Micah calls out the leaders and false prophets for their idolatry and selfish ambitions. There is a clear warning of harship to come because of this sin that had corrupted their ways. But the story it never over, as we learned from other prophets.

Pastor Britni Dooley teaches from the book of the minor prophet, Amos. There is a call to righteousness; to repent from the sins of oppressing the poor, sexual perversions, idolatry, empty religion, and complacency. And while being called out on sin and being warned of the consequences ahead might seem harsh, it's actaully a sign of a loving Father. Our God is a lion, and He is roaring to His people to signal ownership, to establis...

In week 2 of our series, "Everyday Prophets", Pastor Ben teaches through the minor prophet Jonah. We are all very familiar with the beginning part of Jonah's narrative, but have you really taken a look at how the book of Jonah ends? Jonah becomes pretty upset by the fact that the Lord was slow to anger with the Ninevites and showed them mercy instead of wrath. It's a hard lesson for us all in revealing our own posture and attitude ...

Pastor Ben ends our "Sent" series with a call to action. As followers of Christ, we are all called to evangelize and make disciples. That doesn't mean that everyone is supposed to drop everything and travel over seas to do missions; but rather, seek and ask God to open doors right in your own back yard - in your work place, even in your own families. God is calling us to take "Christ in us" to every person we encounter. Your missio...

Pastor Ben teaches from John 17, when Jesus prays over the disciples. We take a look into the heart of Jesus as He prays to the Father for the disciple's protection and unity. He knows the troubles the disciples will face ahead; but how encouraging it must have been for them to hear Jesus praying for their strength, unity, and sanctification. This is a powerful example for us to follow, praying for our brothers and sisters in Chris...
