Northeast Community News – April 25, 2016

Dear Friends and Family!

What a wonderful time we had in the Lord last WEEK! In just 8 days, we had 6, count’em 6 opportunities to encounter the Lord! I have already heard from many who shared those encounters included laughing again, healing old hurts, restoring joy, and encouragement.

One of the calls really surprised me… My phone rang Saturday night about 9:30pmfrom a 217 area code. I was sure it was a telemarketer and told Janie to let it go to voicemail… But before I knew it Janie had answered the phone and said Rev. Ulmet wanted to talk to me.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered he was calling in tears…why? Because our little church had so richly blessed him he couldn’t help it…he was thankful for the dinners, the wonderful hotel he stayed in, your warmth and attentiveness…and overwhelmed by your generous $672 love offering we had collected all week and gave to him as he prepared to leave. As those who attended might imagine he was ‘shouting praise’ as he cried!

When I assured him again we really didn’t know what we were doing as a church and that we were only simple folks (calling myself a fool) just doing our best to love Jesus and love others, he got blessed and said, ‘Well, glory, stay foolish for Jesus’ and followed that with a hearty ‘To God be the Glory, Hallelujah, Man, God is Good!’ As I got off the phone I realized God had used little us to bless and encourage an evangelist. How cool is that? Praise God!

God’s message this week came from John 13:31-35 and was titled, ‘Loving One Another.’ John c. 13 begins Jesus final discourse with the disciples in the upper room. John declares, “Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love’ (13:1-2)

So what is Jesus’ love like? Well, He begins by taking off his outer clothes, wrapping Himself in a towel, and washing their feet as a lowly servant. He was betrayed by one of His first 12 disciples in whom He had called 3 years earlier. He would face denial, beatings, crucifixion, and death on the cross. Jesus showed His love for us as a humble, suffering, servant!

With this understanding Jesus declares: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (13:34). So do you? Do you love one another as Jesus loves or fall into the worlds self-centered cry, “What’s in it for me?” In a day when marriages last as long as the fun continues, real love – sacrificial love – Christ like love is radical – bordering on revolutionary! Maybe you’re asking, “How this kind of love humanly possible?” Well, it’s not! It’s only possible through the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit!

But oh, the difference it can make! You see, what the world is looking for today, church, is authenticity! They are crying, “Don’t tell me about Jesus until you show Him to me!” Jesus put it this way: By this [loving people like I have loved you] all men [women and kids] will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another”(John 13:34-35). Charles Wesley put the challenge before all believers this way in a poem entitled, “One Precious Soul.”

Master, I want Thy tenderness,

Thy boundless charity;

Not to offend, not to displease

The men that know not Thee.

Rather than stumble friend or foe,

I, too, would wrong sustain

And every privilege forego

One precious soul to gain.

If you really want one precious soul saved, you need Christlike tenderness, boundless charity (grace), a desire to bear the wrongs of others, and a willingness to forego privilege. This is only possible through the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit! My prayer is that you will yield completely to Him and be entirely sanctified! Blessings, Pastor Dan

NEWS AND EVENTS

6th ANNUAL KEEP ‘EM COVERED DIAPER DRIVE IN MAY

Starting next Sunday (May 01) we are starting our 6^th annual diaper drive! What began as a simple and practical way to show God’s love to love some of the neediest little folks in our community 6 years ago has become an annual event! During the month of May we will be collecting diapers for North End Community Ministry (NECM). Remember, diapers aren’t provided by most assistance programs and are a huge expense for many single moms. Any size will do! This year we would like to collect 1,200 diapers.

GRADUATION AND FAREWELL PARTY FOR JONATHAN GINGRICH MAY 08

We’ve been blessed! Four years ago a young Nazarene from Columbus, OH adopted us to be his home church while he attended Calvin College and never left… well, until now! It is with glad and heavy hearts we must say goodbye to Jonathan. In just 4 short years, Jonathan earned a chemical engineering degree, became co-captain of the cross country team, and found a place in our hearts! We’ll miss him! But, not before we party! Come, say goodbye and congratulate Jonathan after our May 08^th worship service.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER – THURSDAY, MAY 05

Since the first National Day of prayer proclaimed by President Truman in 1952, every president since (including President Obama) has challenged Americans to turn to God in prayer for our nation. In 1988, President Raegan declared the National Day of Prayer would be held on the first Thursday in May. America still needs prayer! You will find a prayer guideline on the table outside the sanctuary if you would like one.

MISSIONARY BOOKS ARE IN TOO GREAT A DEMAND!

That’s right, the demand for reading the Missionary Books was waaaay toooo high! When Sherry J. asked Pastor Dan if he would be willing to dye his hair purple if the church ever read 150 books, he said ‘sure’ thinking it was an impossibility anyway! Well, imagine his surprise (shock) when she announced 151 books had been read!

Rumor has it Janie is trying to arrange having Pastor Dan’s hair dyed purple at the next Missionary Gathering (in May!) Yikes! Not reading yet? It’s never too late! See Sherry and she will be more than glad (trust me) to get you started reading one!

OUR NEXT THIRD THURSDAY CHINESE LUNCH IS MAY 19 AT 11:30AM!

Our next Third Thursday Chinese Lunch is May 19 at the Hibachi Grill on Alpine Ave. The food is good, but the fellowship is even better! Come, enjoy a great time to eat, share joys, concerns and even laugh! If you have any questions? See Tracy or Linda!

Northeast Community News! April 18, 2016

Dear Friends and Family!

As I write this we have already had 2 of our 5 planned revival services under the Spirit led and anointed ministry of Evangelist Rev. Bill Ulmet! Already, our hearts have been touched and awakened by the Holy Spirit from spiritual slumber! Already, a fire has been ignited!

In case you are wondering, ‘Is it too late to come?’ the answer is an impassioned NO! We have services tonight (Monday), Tuesday, and Wednesday at 6:30pm with a simple dinner prepared each night from 5:45 – 6:15PM before the service. Come, draw closer to Jesus!

Don’t ‘feel’ like coming? I hear you! Honestly, I do! This former rascal can surely relate to anyone who might be thinking “I’m good” or “I’m tired” or “I’m too busy” or “My family doesn’t want to come.” Trust me, I’ve had all of these thoughts and more! But, I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you the services I was most tempted to miss were the ones I will never forget!

Now, I know the weather is beautiful and the lawn work, beach, and neighborhood parks are calling you (especially after such a weird spring). But, don’t let the wonderful things of this world keep you from the best! Come, draw closer, and experience victory in Jesus!

Blessings, Pastor Dan

Northeast Community News – April 11, 2016

Dear Friends and Family!

Healing! Sometimes it is a miraculous event from hand of God! Sometimes, it can come from a non-invasive treatment or ‘miracle drug.’ Sometimes, as it was for me, it comes as a result of a scalpel in the hands of a highly trained surgeon! But, starting Sunday we will have the opportunity to be healed in another way! How? Through the anointed preaching of our visiting Evangelist Rev. Bill Ulmet!

I can still remember the first time I heard an evangelist speak. I was thinking (back then), “Yeah, you’re just a slick professional speaker…” but as he opened God’s Word that day I received a deep, profound healing in my soul. Later, I would understand he wasn’t just a ‘slick professional speaker,’ but an anointed man of God led by the Holy Spirit to bring all of us opportunities for healing, conviction, encouragement, and empowerment!

Now, you may not be as jaded and skeptical as this old biker was 25 years ago... (hopefully not), but if you need healing… if you need encouragement, empowerment, or just a fresh encounter with God, I want to encourage you to come to our revival. As for me, I’ve never been the same! And now some 25 years later, I’m still hungry for more! Are you?

Rev. Ulmet will be preaching in our regular Sunday 11amservice this week and then will continue to bring God’s Word to us on Sun., Mon., Tue., and Wed. nights at 6:30pm.

God’s message this week came from Acts 9:1-19 and was titled, ‘When the Other Becomes My Brother.’ If you haven’t read the book of Acts yet, just do it! You’ll discover when Jesus said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). He really meant it! After Pentecost the once fearful disciples flooded the streets boldly declaring the wonders of God. Peter, who had earlier denied Christ three, was now boldly preaching and 3,000 were saved. John and Peter are now boldly proclaiming the good news to the Jewish High court. And now in Acts c. 9 we find the Spirit of Christ encountering a thug and a disciple and both were radically changed!

The man who had been large and in charge (Saul) was suddenly powerless, blind, and humbled. The man quietly living in Damascus as a disciple (Ananias) was now challenged by the Spirit of Christ to overcome his fears and go to Saul and pray for his healing! Saul would become the greatest missionary ever and Ananias discovered courage and a brother who had been his worst enemy. How can this be? Through the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit! Revival is coming! The Spirit is still moving! Get ready! Blessings, Pastor Dan

Northeast Community News - April 05, 2016

Hello Friends! I apologize for the lateness of this week’s ‘news.’

As most of you know I had surgery to remove my gallbladder last Friday and felt God had enabled me to be strong enough to preach Sunday (and He did). Bless you for your prayers! I can feel them! But yesterday, I felt physically and mentally exhausted and slept much of the day… Janie reminded me (again) this feeling of fatigue is ‘normal’ after surgery….and after yesterday I’m ready to admit she was ‘right’… again (I can hear Bob H. saying something like, ‘Isn’t she always right?’) Seriously, thank you for your prayers! I will see many of you Wednesday and more of your Sunday! God is good! All the time! (even when we need to rest!) Blessings, Pastor Dan

Northeast Community News – April 03, 2016

Dear Friends and Family!

Can you feel it? Something big is coming! Our services just seem to have more power, more joy, more shouting and more singing! With less than two weeks until Rev. Bill Ulmet arrives I know what it is! Revival is coming to Northeast Community Church of the Nazarene! Look around you! The Holy Spirit is already softening hearts and preparing minds! Are you ready for a fresh ‘touch’ from God? Then pray this old chorus: “Come, Holy Spirit, I need you. Come sweet Spirit I pray. Come in your strength and in your power. Come in your own gentle way.”

I cannot emphasize enough the need to pray and fast for every part of our revival. For many, a revival is just an antiquated historical event that has no place in the church today. Hogwash! This couldn’t be further from the truth! In a day when Christians are increasingly under pressure to compromise, living in victory couldn’t be more important! I’m convinced our churches current struggles with sickness, finance, discouragement, disunity, etc., are all tools of the Evil One to keep us from living in victory! Bless you for praying for revival!!

God’s message this week came from Acts 5:27-42 and titled, ‘Transformed by Pentecost.” Easter has come and gone and sadly many won’t darken the church’s doorway again until Christmas comes. While celebrating the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus are indeed the two most important events in the church year, there’s a close third place: Pentecost!

Pentecost was on the mind and lips of Jesus as He prepared to ascend to the Father. He said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

Even after Jesus had come to them in the upper room and declared ‘peace’ the disciples remained fearfully and powerlessly locked in the upper room (John 20:19). And yet, a few chapters later in our text we find Peter and John arrested a second time (see c. 4) for boldly proclaiming the good news of Jesus in the Temple Courts. What caused this huge change?

It wasn’t a new teaching. After all, they had had a three year 24/7 apprenticeship with Jesus and they were still afraid! It wasn’t a Bible study, or a sermon by a gifted preacher, a concert, a 5-day conference, or a college degree or two, either! While those are all great ways to grow in grace, what empowered the disciples to leave the security of the upper room was the Pentecostal fire of the Holy Spirit!

After Pentecost the once fearful disciples flooded the streets boldly declaring the wonders of God. Peter, who had earlier denied Christ three times and ran as Jesus was crucified, was now boldly preaching and 3,000 were saved. John and Peter are now boldly proclaiming the good news to the Jewish High court. In a word – they are fearless!

On their second run in with Jewish officials in c. 5 we find them in jail again, freed through an angel of the Lord, back in the Temple Courts proclaiming the good news, and arrested again. When asked why they didn’t stop witnessing as they had been ordered to, Peter and the others declare: “We must obey God rather than men!” (Acts 5:29b)

After wanting to put them to death for claiming they had received the Holy Spirit, they had them flogged and ordered to stop speaking in the name of Jesus! How did they respond?

“The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ” (Acts 5:41-42).

What the church needs today is the supernatural power and presence of the Holy Spirit! Northeast Community needs a fresh anointing with the fire of the Holy Spirit if we are ever going to find the strength and courage to be all God wants us to be! Revival is coming! Jesus is still looking for a few committed men, women, boys and girls to yield completely to Him and be filled with the Pentecostal fire! Are you ready? Let’s roll! Blessings, Pastor Dan
