Please Pray for Norway…

I did not mention it this weekend at the service, however, let us PLEASE PRAY for Norway. This atrocious act against primarily young people is not just horrible in its happening, but it breaks my heart for the sheer cold, calculated way this “Breivik” monster acted. It seems that always as GOD begins a move to bring people back to HIMSELF, the enemies of all that is good rear their ugly heads. We live in a time and era where morals are twisted and/or lost mostly in the name of “good.”

 

It is even more important now than ever that we as believers cling to and show the LIGHT OF JESUS to the world. So, let us pray.

let’s pray for:

1 – those that have lost loved ones

2 – for a nation that is grieving

3 – for GOD to help us to be salt and light at this time of great uncertainty both there in Norway and around the world

4 – for a softening of people’s hearts especially extremists from every background and culture

5 – for peace and unity

6 – and lastly for GOD to somehow get glory instead of all the focus being on this atrocity

 

Whatever you do, as a joint citizen of the earth right now, allow yourself some compassion and pray for these as if it were your own child that was lost. My heart aches today.

Let us pray!

 

Dustin Hedrick

Lead Pastor

Process of Purpose | Oswald Chambers

He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side . . . -Mark 6:45

We tend to think that if Jesus Christ compels us to do something and we are obedient to Him, He will lead us to great success. We should never have the thought that our dreams of success are God's purpose for us. In fact, His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have the idea that God is leading us toward a particular end or a desired goal, but He is not. The question of whether or not we arrive at a particular goal is of little importance, and reaching it becomes merely an episode along the way. What we see as only the process of reaching a particular end, God sees as the goal itself.

What is my vision of God's purpose for me? Whatever it may be, His purpose is for me to depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay calm, faithful, and unconfused while in the middle of the turmoil of life, the goal of the purpose of God is being accomplished in me. God is not working toward a particular finish- His purpose is the process itself. What He desires for me is that I see "Him walking on the sea" with no shore, no success, nor goal in sight, but simply having the absolute certainty that everything is all right because I see "Him walking on the sea" (Mark 6:49). It is the process, not the outcome, that is glorifying to God.

God's training is for now, not later. His purpose is for this very minute, not for some time in the future. We have nothing to do with what will follow our obedience, and we are wrong to concern ourselves with it. What people call preparation, God sees as the goal itself.

God's purpose is to enable me to see that He can walk on the storms of my life right now. If we have a further goal in mind, we are not paying enough attention to the present time. However, if we realize that moment-by-moment obedience is the goal, then each moment as it comes is precious.

The ACTIVAT3 Conference Location is GREAT and SO ARE THE PEOPLE!!!!!

Hey Guys,

 

I just went on the walkthrough with Jon, Melly and Daeho and I have to tell you… I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!! It is going to be so much fun to be with you guys there worshiping Jesus and learning about the Kingdom together. I know that so many of us are in so many different places right now and a lot of us face trials, issues, struggles and distractions, but this is truly going to be a time where we can come away and worship and experience GOD together and then go give it away!

 

I am so blessed and encouraged after hanging out with the staff at Chevy Chase Baptist where we are meeting for this event. WHAT AMAZINGLY PRECIOUS hearted people! You should hear their stories of how they brought this building back! The church was closed 14 years ago when they came and now it is a living, breathing, spirit filled space. I love the way it feels. And it is SO BEAUTIFUL!

I love the heartbeat of their leadership. I LOVE JESUS more for having met Mrs. Maureen! She is the pastor’s wife, works the office and is the Minister of Music or Worship Leader. SHE IS AWESOME! Hearing her story just lit me up!

 

So, I just wanted to give you an update and let you know that everything is going well for this and you all are going to LOVE IT! They have so many other churches and ministries there too. There is the Baptist Church that meets at 1pm, they have SOZO DC, there are the Healing Rooms and they have the Gate DC, (a church), as well as this cool “Washington Worships” weekend event that I want to start signing up for. Worship teams can sign up for one of the watches and they go through Friday night and all day Saturday! HOW COOL IS THAT?

So, this space is great AND THESE NEW FRIENDS ARE GREAT! I LOVE THEM! WOW! Parking may be interesting, but we can always take the Red Line!

 

Love you guys!

Blessings!

FW: Tapestry Sunday Night

Hey Everyone,


Here is an email from Patrick about “TSN” or our Tapestry Sunday Night meeting this week. Read below and come if you feel inclined. This is a GREAT preview to the conference in a few weeks.

 

And it is great fellowship.

Blessings!

Good Day Everyone!

 

This is a reminder that we’re gonna meet at Jon’s at 5pm for some training, then going out to pray!

 

Last week was pretty crazy.  We saw every confirming word during prayer and prayed for people at RIO.  Who knows where God will take us this Sunday. 

 

As always, if this seems a bit overwhelming, you can stay for PD’s training and eat with us then part ways, but you’ll be missing out on some awesome things God is doing in our community.  (no pressure)

 

Also, we might have some people at other churches come and be apart of this, so if you have friends interested, or you have friends you want interested, bring them out!!

 

Meeting at 550 Winding Rose Drive, Rockville MD & 5pm.

Just a Thought | An OLD Emaill Review from pd

Hey Guys,

 

I just got a note from Yireh reminding me of one of the old emails I sent out a year ago. It is really pretty good and encouraged me today, which is funny since often I don’t reread my own stuff. However, I wanted to forward the chain back to all of us and say that this is a great reread! 😉

 

Have a great week!

 

Dustin Hedrick

Lead Pastor

 

NOTE FROM YIREH:

 

 

Hey PD,

 

Re-reading some of the old stuff and just wanted to encourage you today how much it continues to speak to me. Keep at it pastor, the sheep are growing! 

 

Lots of love,

YRM

 

PD’s OLD EMAIL:

 

Hey Guys,

I will be sending a more formal Thread email later about a topic that Devin has encouraged me to review. It will be about “De-Teching” & being a physical minimalist in order to be a spiritual giant.

But, before I send that, I came across this message by Henry Blackaby and wanted to send it today. I wanted to remind us to every time we read Scripture, stop and ask Poppa to speak to us. Every time we hear a sermon, ask Poppa to speak to us personally about it. And I mean, literally stopping before we listen, read or whatever and say, “Poppa, please speak to me and apply this to my life…”

And then just during the listening or reading, literally focusing in and asking yourself over and over during the exercise, “How does this apply to me?”

If we do that and then journal our results, I think we would be amazed to see what Poppa speaks. We can even do this with news, current events and/or experiences in our day to day lives. For instance, “Jesus, what are you doing in Haiti right now and how can I help You?”

You get it? I mean, you may not always find relevance, but at least you can keep the conversation with God the Father, Jesus and Spirit open and available. It may help you even make better sense out of the challenges and trials in life. And you know, I have found it is fun to connect the dots. It’s like life is a huge puzzle and I am always trying to put the pieces together. I mean, the truth is that EVERYTHING has a purpose. I just have to see what that purpose is and maximize the potential.

Hope that makes sense…

Blessings!

The Penetrating Word of God

Day-by-Day

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb 4:12)

Does God’s word ever cause you discomfort? When you read the Bible does what you read make you uneasy? Do you find when you listen to sermons, that the Scripture seems aimed directly at you? You are experiencing the reality that the word of God is alive and can read your thoughts and judge your intentions.

When God’s word speaks to you it is always for a purpose. God knows your heart and knows what you need to do to bring your life into conformity to Christ. If you have a problem with sinful talk, the word that comes to you will address the tongue. If you are struggling to forgive, God’s word will confront you with His standard for forgiveness. If pride has a stronghold in your life, God’s word will speak to you about humility. Whatever sin needs addressing, you will find you are confronted by God’s word on the matter.

One way you can escape the discomfort of conviction is to avoid hearing God speak to you. You may neglect reading your Bible and stay away from places where it is taught. You may avoid those whom you know will uphold the truths of Scripture. The best response, however, is to pray as the psalmist did: “Search me, O God, and know my heart” (Ps. 139:23). Regularly allow the word of God to wash over you and find any sin or impurity (Eph. 5:26). Always make the connection between your life and what God is saying to you through His word. Make a habit of taking every word from God seriously, knowing that it is able to judge your heart and mind.

 H Blackaby
