Port Orchard Church of the Nazarene

This week, Pastor Jerry spoke on the true meaning of Salvation. For some Christians, the goal of salvation is to escape from Hell. However, in Colossians, Paul talks about the glorious riches that are available to us in the here and now. And while being in Heaven is a great part of our life with God- or will be, depending on who you ask- it is not even close to the fullness that Jesus can bring to our lives today.

This week, Pastor Jerry spoke on being and relating to the Bride of Christ. As Pastor Jerry mentions, it is impossible to fully respect a man without respecting his wife, yet many members of the church- the "visible expression of which Jesus is the head," according to Colossians 1:18- have some serious self-esteem issues, to say the least.

This week, Pastor Jerry spoke on meditation and relationships. In the day of instant communication, it is often tricky to be present in the moment with those around us. As it turns out, meditation on things like Psalms 46:10 can help us take a moment to simply be.

This week, Pastor Jerry discussed how the interpretation and application of a given passage can make a world of difference, referencing some well-discussed scriptures and even Forrest Gump.

In this message, Pastor Jerry dives into relational conflict issues by properly defining God’s peace and spiritual warfare. We live in a conflicted creation whose inhabitants too often reflect the ideals of their enemy, rather than participating in the triune God’s invitation to enjoy and reflect His perfect love to each other.

Note From The Sound Desk: While the usual Reflection Questions were not used in the message this week, they are available for review in the included PDF. Have a blessed week!

This week, Pastor Jerry spoke on the celebratory heart of the Father. Take, for example, the famous Parable Jesus told about the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. That is the perfect picture of how our True Father welcomes us home, even when we've blown it big time! Maybe, if we, the Christian Church, stopped shouting about what we're against and started throwing more parties, celebrating God, life, and people, and- like Jesus in Luke 7:34- were known as “the party throwing friend of the establishment and all other sinners” instead of their enemies, maybe more people would be interested in hanging with us and in what we have to say.
