THE CATACOMBS Underground Jesus Fellowship
The Catacombs is defined every bit as much by what we DO believe as what we DO NOT believe.
Each of these tenants is strictly based in the Sermon on the Mount whenever possible.
1_We believe we must follow The Way of Jesus to find and experience the Truth of who He is.
John 14:6 states “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” We believe the order here is very important: first follow The Way of Jesus, then learn The Truth of this world, so that only afterwards can we discover a New Life with God.
In Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus teaches that those who “hear these words of mine and act on them will be like a wise man,” whereas those “who hear these words of mine and do not act on them will be like a foolish man." It is foolish to say we believe who Jesus is and yet fail to follow His teachings.
2_We believe Jesus proclaimed God’s Kingdom for all, not for some at the expense of others.
John 14:6 states “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” We believe the order is important here: first follow The Way of Jesus, then learn The Truth of this world, so that we can discover a New Life with God.
In Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus teaches that those who “hear these words of mine and act on them will be like a wise man,” whereas those “who hear these words of mine and do not act on them will be like a foolish man." It is foolish to say we believe who Jesus is and yet fail to follow The Way.
3_We believe Jesus calls us from a life of judging others to find instead the joy of personal change.
John 14:6 states “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” We believe the order is important here: first follow The Way of Jesus, then learn The Truth of this world, so that we can discover a New Life with God.
In Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus teaches that those who “hear these words of mine and act on them will be like a wise man,” whereas those “who hear these words of mine and do not act on them will be like a foolish man." It is foolish to say we believe who Jesus is and yet fail to follow The Way.
4_We believe Jesus calls us to a lifelong process of growing in love, both for God and for neighbor.
John 14:6 states “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” We believe the order is important here: first follow The Way of Jesus, then learn The Truth of this world, so that we can discover a New Life with God.
In Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus teaches that those who “hear these words of mine and act on them will be like a wise man,” whereas those “who hear these words of mine and do not act on them will be like a foolish man." It is foolish to say we believe who Jesus is and yet fail to follow The Way.
