The Church and The Body of Christ

Churches are more than buildings or communities of believers in Jesus Christ who gather together to worship Him.

They are also called Churches because they do the work that Christ’s Church does: proclaim the Good News of salvation through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.

Churches are places where people come together to study God’s Word (the Bible), pray for one another, serve each other and enjoy fellowship with one another as they grow in their relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Churches exist all over the world; you can find them on every continent except Antarctica! Churches vary greatly according to culture, language, and geography but we have a few things in common: We believe that there is only one true God; we confess that He has revealed Himself uniquely as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; we believe that Jesus is the only way to know God, and we affirm the Bible as His authoritative Word.

What is Discipleship?

A disciple is a follower of Christ who seeks to grow in their relationship with Him through studying His Word, spending time in prayer, living out His commands, and sharing the Good News of salvation with others.

The process of discipleship begins when someone comes to saving faith in Jesus Christ and continues throughout their entire life as they grow in their relationship with Him. Churches in Nyala play an important role in the discipleship process by providing a community of believers for new Christians to connect with, grow in their faith alongside, and be held accountable to.

Find a Church in Nyala, Sudan

One of the best things about being part of a church is the community that it provides. In our fast-paced, increasingly individualistic society, it can be easy to feel isolated and alone. But in a church, you can find friends who will know you and love you no matter what. A healthy church is like a family where everyone knows your name and celebrates your joys and sorrows together. Churches in Nyala provide a place for us to serve one another and build relationships that last a lifetime.

Baptism

Baptism is an ordinance of the church that is a public declaration of your faith in Jesus Christ. It is an act of obedience that symbolizes your death to sin and new life in Christ. If you have never been baptized, we would encourage you to talk to your pastor about taking this important step of faith.

Your Prayer Life

Prayer is simply talking to God. It is one of the most important things we can do as Christians because it is through prayer that we communicate with our Heavenly Father and grow in our relationship with Him. Churches in Nyala provide opportunities for us to gather together and pray for one another, our community, and our world. We also believe that God hears and answers our prayers, so don’t hesitate to bring your requests to Him.

There are many scriptures in the Bible that talk about prayer. Some of our favorites include:

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” – Matthew 6:5-6

The Bible: Reading and Studying God’s Word

The Bible is our guide for living a life that pleases God. It is His love letter to us, and in it, we can find everything we need to know about Him and His will for our lives. Churches in Nyala offer opportunities to study the Bible together in the community so that we can grow in our understanding of who God is and what He has done for us.

Reading the Bible can seem daunting at first, but it is a rewarding and life-changing experience if you approach it with the right attitude. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Read the Bible with an open mind and heart. The Bible is God’s Word, but it is not always easy to understand. Be willing to accept what you read even if it doesn’t make sense to you right away.

2. Read the Bible regularly. The more you read, the more you will understand its message. Try to read a little bit each day so that you can slowly but surely make your way through the entire Bible.

3. Use a Bible commentary or study guide. If you are struggling to understand what you are reading, a commentary or study guide can be a helpful resource. There are many different kinds available, so find one that is right for you.

4. Pray for understanding. Ask God to help you understand His Word and apply it to your life.

5. Talk about what you are learning with others. Discussing the Bible with other Christians can help you gain new insights and perspectives. Churches in Nyala provide opportunities for us to come together and learn from one another as we grow in our faith.

Evangelism and The Great Commission

Sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who don’t know Him is one of the most important things we can do as Christians. Churches in Nyala provide opportunities for us to share our faith with others through evangelism training, outreach events, and mission trips. We believe that it is the love of God that compels us to reach out to others and that everyone has the potential to come to know Him.

The Great Commission is a command Jesus gave to His disciples just before He ascended into heaven. It is the mandate for Christians to go out and make disciples of all nations.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” -Matthew 28:19-20
