Port Orchard Church of the Nazarene

This week, Pastor Jerry continued in the Restoring Revelation series, focusing on the slain Lamb of God.

This week, we were joined again by Jonathan Krause, who spoke on his own journey of becoming free from the shame of childhood abuse. This message does deal with the topic of sexual abuse, so if you're going through the healing process of a similar situation, you may wish to proceed with caution.

The Book of Revelation can be an incredibly confusing and even frightening read- but it wasn't meant to be either. In fact, behind the alarming imagery lies a beauty that demonstrates the self-sacrificial love of Christ and His victory over the darkness we encounter in our lives. This week, we will take another look at what the disciple John wrote and why.

This week, Pastor Jerry began a series titled, "Restoring Revelation." Everyone believes the world will one day come to an end; however, we disagree on how, when and why. Many Christians use the book of Revelation as a road map for the end of the world, taking it as a literal depiction of the future. However, this isn’t the reason that the book of Revelation was written. It was written for a specific time and place, and for a specific reason. Over the next few weeks, we’ll talk about this book and what it means to the Kingdom and our lives.

This week, Pastor Jerry finished his series, "The Origin, Evolution, and End of Religion," speaking on- you guessed it- the end of religion. As illustrated in John Chapter 5, there was more than one instance of Jesus subverting the religious norms of the time for the sake of proving that God was- and still is- bigger than their box could hold at times. Ultimately, it proves the point that while the Bible itself doesn't save us, it still points to the person who does.

This week, Pastor Jerry continued in his series, "The Origin, Evolution, and End of Religion," focusing on the evolution of religion. Because of mankind's understanding that God was some far-off entity who needed to be appeased, we began coming up with a series of traditions and rules to hopefully get God to draw close to us for a while. We used things like burning incense and sacrificing animals to try to please Him. However, the problem with this plan is that God never asked for any of it.
