Northeast Community News – January 22, 2019

Dear Friends and Family!      

    How does that familiar song go? ‘Well, the weather outside is frightful…’ Seriously, it was a very cold Sunday to come to church and I imagine many of you stayed in near your ‘delightful fire’, but even with that said it was still a wonderful day in the Lord. In fact, not only did we study one of my favorite passages of Scripture in Sunday school, but we had a person tell me they would be willing to sing a special in church, and even better, I had another person tell me they’ve decided to make Northeast Community Church their church home! How wonderful is that? Praise God!!

       Do you know someone looking for a church home or in need of the Savior? Why not invite them to come to church with you this week! While I can’t assure you it’ll be warmer outside the church, I can guarantee your guest will be warmly received inside the church! God is good! All the time! 

God’s message Sunday came from 1 Corinthians12:1-11 and was titled, ‘Unwrapping Your Spiritual Gifts.’ So, what are your gifts? Have you unwrapped them? Much like children at Christmas, followers of Jesus should be excited to discover and unwrap their spiritual gifts. God has not only given us life, and eternal life, but spiritual gifts us for the benefit of the body (the Church) and His Mission to seek and save the lost! Look with me at verses 4-7: 

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. ⁶ There are differentkinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good” (I Cor. 12:4-7).

If God is working through the Holy Spirit in ALL men (and women, boys and girls), why are so many reluctant to unwrap their God given gifts? I suspect many don’t use them because they are comparing themselves to others. If I can’t sing like… or know the Bible like… then I better keep my gift of music and teaching to myself. But, if your gifts are given to you through the Holy Spirit for the ‘common good’ how can you refuse to unwrap and use your gift? 

True, you may not sing like a professional or know the Bible like a scholar, but that is no reason to put yourself down and refuse to us your God given gift. In fact, when you refuse to use your gift and act like you know better than God, you are questioning the wisdom of the Gift-Giver (God).

Further, we need to remember the second part of verse7. God’s Spirit works through us, not for our glory, but for His glory and the common good. God knows exactly what our church needs, and He has brought all of us together! Therefore, if you’re not using your gift, the church is like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing. It’s irritating! It’s frustrating! We’re incomplete! Everybody matters! Everybody counts! Everybody ought to be serving God’s Kingdom and Body as they are gifted!

So, don’t put yourself down. Don’t compare yourself to others. When you say you have nothing to offer, you’re saying more about your lack of faith than about yourself. You are limiting what God can do. The truth is, all of us are supernaturally equipped to be part of God’s greater mission at Northeast Community Church of the Nazarene. Let’s go! Just do it!                        Blessings, Pastor Dan

                                                                        2019 LENTEN JOURNEY BEGINS WITH ASH WED., MARCH 06!

Lent is a 40-day purposeful time of fasting and reflection beginning on Ash Wed (3-06) and ending on Easter (4-21) except the Sunday’s of Lent (which are considered ‘mini’ Easter’s). During Lent, many spend more time reading their Bibles and praying while fasting something that competes with God for worship! Some ‘fast’ sweets, coffee, and a few fast Facebook. 

On Wed., Mar. 06 we will have the ashes (last year’s crushed and burned Palm leaves) mixed with holy oil available for those who would like to receive ‘the imposition of ashes,’ It’s optional, but many keep the tradition of seeking an ‘ash cross’ on their forehead to remind them at the start of their Lenten journey that ‘from ashes you came; to ashes you shall return.’ Hope to see you there!

                                                                        LENTEN SMALL GROUP AT THE PARSONAGE (Start 3-09)

Since Lent is a time when many spend additional time reading their Bibles and reflecting on their faith, Janie has suggested again we gather on the Saturday’s of Lent at 6pm for a simple meal of soup and salad to discuss the assigned readings. No need to bring anything, but Janie would like to know (if possible) if you’re coming! The dinners start on March 09 and end April 20.Hope to see you there! RSVP to Jane at (616) 204-1153 (call or text) or email her at hathjan@icloud.com

This year we have ordered 20 copies of the book, “For God so Loved,” a Lenten Devotional Book produced by The Foundry (formerly Nazarene Publishing House). We will use this book during our Lenten Small Group this year. If you’re interested in receiving a copy of the book, please let Pastor Dan know right away.

Northeast Community News – January 15, 2019

Dear Friends and Family!      

What another wonderful day we had in the Lord, Sunday! So, what would you do if you fell face down on the concrete and bruised your face so bad you were black and blue? If you are our new attendee, Carol, you would laugh saying you had ‘kissed the concrete’ and go to church of course! In an era filled with excuses for avoiding worship, Carol’s joy-filled determination is refreshing! Has it been a while since you’ve come to worship? Why not come this week and meet Carol and the rest of those at Northeast Community longing to encounter the living God! You just might be surprised how much you’ve missed! After all, it’s not about us; it’s about Him! Amen? Amen!

God’s message Sunday came from Luke 3:15-22 and was titled, ‘A January Pentecost.’ The Church calendar calls us to celebrate Christ’s baptism this week. Up to this point in the Scripture Jesus is a relative unknown. There are no disciples – no multitudes following – no Pharisees wishing Him dead. No, before His baptism Jesus was a 30-year-old carpenter from Nazareth. 

This isn’t to suggest He didn’t know what He was sent by God to earth to do. As we examined last week, Jesus knew His mission and His Heavenly Father at age 12. And though His body had been prepared to go to the cross, the salvation of the world hung on His willingness to follow through. Had Jesus refused to be baptized; refused to call His disciples and begin His ministry; refused to die on The Cross; He’d have been no different than Adam. 

Of course, he didn’t as Paul reminds us, “…he [Jesus] humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-- even death on a cross!” (Philippians 2:8b)

But, what about you? In Jeremiah 29:11, we are reminded before you were born God had a plan for you….do you know God’s plan for you? As one pastor wrote, “the most effective thing Satan does is not to turn us away from God, but to keep us from making a full surrender.” If you want to know your purpose; if you want to know where to start, you begin by surrendering everything you are and have and could be to Jesus and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you, teach you, and lead you! 

Second, to fulfill God’s plan you need to burn bridges. Jesus didn’t approach John at the river and say “Well, if this cross thing doesn’t work out, I can always go back to building houses” nor should we try to keep our options open in case following Jesus doesn’t work out. It’s time for some of us to cross the line and not look back! It’s time some of us cut down our safety net and trust Jesus! 

Finally, to know and fulfill God’s plan for your life and be blessed you need to step into the river. It’s not enough to know what you should do; you must move forward in faith. Until you step into the river and surrender yourself fully to Jesus, you won’t receive the blessing you’ve longed for all your life. It’s time to surrender, burn your bridges, and step into the river! I’m praying for you!           Blessings, Pastor Dan

Northeast Community News – January 8, 2019

Dear Friends and Family!      

Yes, it was another wonderful week in the Lord, Sunday, and God continues to bless our church. We were blessed with a wonderful Sunday school hour led by Gerry D, blessed with a wonderful hour of family worship which ended with communion, and blessed to have Karlee T. and Kylee C. (great granddaughters of Bill and Judy C.) serve us the symbolic body and blood of Jesus at the Lord’s Table! Some say, ‘our youth are the future,’ but I say the future is already here! Aren’t you glad you are part of a church where kids are involved? God is good regardless of your age! Amen! 

God’s message Sunday came from Matthew 2:1-12 and was titled, ‘What are You Seeking?’ Google has made a business of exploiting our search! But searches take more than fingertips! As the Magi teach, if we want to draw closer to Jesus, we must do more than think; we must go on a journey. 

First, the journey to draw closer to Jesus requires sacrifice. While the star that guided them was unique and new, the magi could not use Travelocity, Kayak, or Airbnb to find flights, rent a car, or book a hotel room. To travel 1,000–1,200 miles in the first century would have been required an enormous amount of time, money, and courage. They risked their very lives to worship Jesus and bring Him precious gifts. How about you? What are you risking to follow Jesus? 

Second, the Magi teach us the journey to draw closer to Jesus cannot be subcontracted. While there were many distractions, the magi remained determined to bring their gifts to… who? Jesus! They didn’t give them to King Herod and have him promise to make the delivery. They didn’t give it to the chief priests or teachers of the law either. Nothing stopped them from seeking Jesus and bringing their gifts to Him and so they mounted up their Camels and off to Bethlehem they went! So how about you? What are your gifts? Who gets them? Are you heading towards Jesus to bring Him your gifts or moving away from Him to keep them for yourself? What makes you hesitate?

Finally, the Magi teach us the journey to draw closer to Jesus includes outsiders. The Magi didn’t belong at the feet of Jesus. They came from a foreign place, spoke a foreign language, ate foreign foods, and dressed in foreign clothes. What they knew about the Messiah was very little, yet they came to worship the Christ child with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Scandalous, right? 

Not in God’s Kingdom! The Magi show us you’re never too far or too foreign or too weird to come worship Jesus! God loves outsiders! If you are one of them, welcome home! You belong here! My prayer is our church will always be a place where misfits, foreigners, or anyone else seeking Jesus will always be welcome! Amen? Amen!   Blessings, Pastor Dan

Northeast Community News – December 31, 2018

Dear Friends and Family!      

Yes, it was another wonderful week in the Lord, Sunday! We had 5 visitors this week! Can you believe it? While some were here because they were visiting family, it was still wonderful to see these old friends once again! How long has it been since you invited someone to church? 

We have invitation cards and postcards available to hand or mail out. Remember, New Years is a wonderful time to invite friends and coworkers to church. Many are saying, ‘after the New Year I’m going back to church.’ Why not invite them to your church? You might just change their life!

    God’s message Sunday came from Luke 2:41-52 and was titled, ‘What Child is This?’ Imagine the terror of realizing you have left your child behind. Now, realize the horror of leaving the Son of God behind. Yikes! Well, this is the dilemma Mary and Joseph were in as we examine our text. 

    It is a story of losing, searching, and finding Jesus. And yet, as Christmas 2018 slips into history, many find leaving Jesus behind an equally easy thing to do. I wouldn’t be surprised if several in our church have drifted away from Jesus. Are you one of them? If you are, I have good news! If you are serious about finding Jesus, you will definitely find Him!

    First, in verse 43, we discover Mary and Joseph have left Jesus behind. While historians inform us they’ve got good reasons to think Jesus was travelling with the other, they had left Him behind because they had become more interested/distracted with getting home than caring for Jesus. What about you? Do you ever allow the distractions of life to take your eyes off Jesus?

    In verse 44, Joseph and Mary begin their search among their relatives and friends. Eve when they travel back to Jerusalem it takes them 3 days to find Jesus. Why? Because they are searching for Jesus in all the wrong places! What about you? Do you ever search for Jesus in the wrong places? To be honest, I’ve met many who are searching for a savior in all the wrong places! Sometimes it seems as if Jesus is the last person they turn to for peace, joy, and salvation! 

In verse 48, we see an interesting exchange. “When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you” (Luke 2:48). While I can understand their frustration, let me ask, ‘Who moved?’ Jesus hadn’t left them; they had left Jesus! If anyone had gotten lost it was His parents! How about you? Do you ever drift away from Jesus and wonder why He’s no longer as close as He once was? 

            Finally, in verses 46-47, we receive clues to find Jesus! To begin with, Jesus was in His Father’s House soaking up learning and offering insight to others. There is no better place to begin your search for Jesus than coming to church! In addition, you ought to learn to pray regularly as Jesus did, read and memorize God’s Word as Jesus did, and sit down with others in a small group as Jesus did to dig into the questions of faith. Yes, it will require a sacrifice of time and energy, but as 2019 comes, the Hymnist reminds us, “It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus!”                           Blessings, Pastor Dan
