Petra Values
Each value will help you understand what we believe doctrinally, but also to have clarity on biblical practice.
Glorify God
We were created and regenerated to glorify God with all our heart, soul, strength, mind, all of our time, in all places and in every circumstance, since God’s Glory is pre-eminent above all creation. Psalms 86: 11-12, 1 Tim 1:17, Rom 16: 27
Obey God
Love God by obeying His Word. Obedience is the result of faith and trust we have in God, we trust His plans are good and perfect for us. God blesses those who obey him with a sincere and humbled heart before Him. Psalms 119: 97-99, John 14:15, James 1: 22-25; 1 John 2: 3-6
Serving Christ
We are called to serve for the edification of Christ’s body, therefore, it is a privilege and a responsibility before God and the Church to carry out diligently the job God has entrusted us. Mark 10: 45; 1 Peter 4:10; Philippians 2:6-11.
Joy in Christ
The source of joy in our hearts is Christ, who redeemed us and wrote our names in the book of life, and his eternal promises fill us with joy and hope.1 Peter 1:8; Philippians 4:4-5
The Supremacy of Christ
Nothing in this life has meaning or purpose away from Christ, not even food, drinking, or work is enjoyable away from God. Satisfaction, rest, and peace in life are in Christ alone. John 1:1-3; Fi 2: 5-11; He 1:3-6
