Port Orchard Church of the Nazarene

Pastor Jerry challenges you to stretch your "Grid" or frame of mind in the light of God's truth. He asked us to be open to what the facts are, and not to dismiss things that don't fit our grid, or perspective, but to let God's word renew our minds.

Todd White talked about some of his thoughts and experiences doing outreach ministry. He said- I don't open the word to preach sermons. I open the word so I can become what the page says. So when I become what the pages says, I can share it out of my heart and it will produce fruit in YOUR life. He pointed out that sometimes when we look at stuff, what we see overwhelms what He said.

Todd White made it very clear tonight that we need to be on the right side of the cross. When we don't believe that the cross was enough, the enemy will have a field day with us. The truth is that when God said that He forgave us, the power of the cross makes it so, old things pass away and all things become new. Why are we listening to the enemy! The cross is enough!

Todd White shared a few things from his heart, and then said- If you came into the Kingdom just to join a “bless me club”, you're in trouble. God doesn't bless selfishness, He blesses Sonship and identity. Todd had a powerful word for small business owners, that there would be a shift in circumstances and that they would experience prosperity in a KINGDOM ECONOMY.

Pastor Jerry shared that we need to be true and transparent with the Lord and one another. If we were pickled or thoroughly marinated in His presence, we would look, smell and taste like the Father.

Pastor Jerry's vision is to know the heart of God, be in His presence, and get to a place where we are comfortable with the presence of God. We need to line up with God's vision for us, and all the other things will be an added bonus.

Denver Thompson, a traveling Evangelist from Northern Ireland; "I am called of Jesus Christ first to be a servant for his people and kingdom and then to be a preacher of his word." Today he shared that the River of God, which flows from Genesis to Revelation, has transformed his life.

Denver Thompson, a traveling Evangelist from Northern Ireland; "I am called of Jesus Christ first to be a servant for his people and kingdom and then to be a preacher of his word." Tonight he encouraged us to seek the Holy Spirit, to invade us and take us to a new level. Holy Ghost, your the one I need the most! When you are in the unknown in your life, Jesus is in control.

Pastor Jerry stated that we believe we are created first and foremost to be at home in the Fathers Love. He pointed out three break-through moments in Jesus life, in His preparation for ministry. These will help us to know Him and abide in Him. We learn to minister to others through obedience to the Father.

Today Pastor Jerry reminded us that God the Father loves us perfectly and unconditionally. We need to find the Fathers heart for us and let Him meet our needs, which will allow us to express His love to others.
