http://bible.com/events/49095103 Church of the Nazarene - Harrisonburg Living The Jesus Life: Part 8 A Panel Discussion of Philippians 4:1-9 Living The Jesus Life This series is a part of our annual practice of spending time focusing on one book of the Bible. In this case, the study is of Philippians – the letter Paul wrote from a Roman prison to the church at Philippi, the first church Paul started in Eastern Europe (see Acts 16). The people at Philippi were facing the resistance of Rome but remained a vibrant community of faith. Philippians is a letter that speaks to living life as a disciple of Jesus in 2023. That's why we've entitled the series, 'Living the Jesus Life'. Today's focus is Philippians 4:1-9 ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭9 ‬‬Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends! I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Today, our focus is on Philippians 4:6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. To focus on that directive, "Do not be anxious about anything," we've assembled a panel of experts to address some of the key issues and provide tools for overcoming anxiety. Joining us this morning are: Ashlea Link: Ashlea is the School Social Worker for Rockingham County Schools and is married to Jared, Campus Pastor for our East Rockingham Campus. Learn more about her here: https://www.cotnaz.org/podcast/06-14-20-wbtx-program-ashlea-link-testimony/ Pastor Margaret Michael: Margaret is Outreach Pastor for Church of the Nazarene and Pastor of our Celebrate Recovery Ministry.

Anxious for Nothing is a four-part group/class designed for those ministering to others who deal with anxiety or those experiencing anxiety themselves. Each session consists of a biblical teaching, small group discussion and directed prayer that will happen from 10:30 to 11:30 for four consecutive Sundays. Spaces are limited for the group, so please register soon: https://cotnaz.churchcenter.com/groups/connect-groups/anxious-for-nothing 1 Peter 5:7 ESV Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. John 14:27 ESV Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Matthew 6:25-34 ESV “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Jeff Stultz spent much of his adult life as a Motorcycle Club leader. Living the life….violence, drugs, alcohol. In and out of jails and institutions. And finally, 2 ½ years as a homeless, crack addict. In April 2007, after several months in jail Jeff knew if he didn’t make a change he’d soon be dead or in prison for life. Curiosity led Jeff to a local church where he quickly had a real life experience with Jesus Christ and everything changed. Jeff got plugged in to the ministry of Celebrate Recovery. The recovery process led Jeff to a spiritual experience that changed his entire life! After being reunited with his family he moved back to NC where he met and married his wife Pamela. Became an Ordained Pastor and Joined the CR Southeastern team as a NC State Representative. In 2016 after putting the biker lifestyle behind him for 9 years, believing he had to give up the life he loved to serve God, Jeff realized it’s ok to be a biker as long as he rides for Christ’s sake. Jeff founded and leads Broken Chains JC, a fellowship of bikers who have found hope and healing in Jesus Christ through the ministry of Celebrate Recovery helping others to realize that change is possible! “When I got saved and sober I thought I had to give up the life style I loved…….brother was I wrong!” In August of 2017 Broken Chains JC became the “official” biker arm of the Celebrate Recovery Ministry and Jeff joined the National Team as the CR Broken Chains Nat’l Director. Jeff rides all over the country sharing with others the message of real freedom. “Change is possible. I know, it happened to me. I used to be a hopeless dope addict but today, I’m a dopeless hope addict” Jeff Stultz https://www.brokenchainsjc.com/crew

It's one thing to point out a problem.  But it's another thing to offer the solution. Pastor Dave Dent is a pastor that offers solutions.  Dave is the Associate Pastor of Adult Ministries at Mid Atlantic Community Church in Davidsonville Maryland.   His ministry focus is to shepherd people through life's difficulties, to connect people into discipleship relationships.  Today, in this interview, Dave shares the ministry of Celebrate Recovery and how Jesus, through the Beatitudes, provides solutions. Dave has been married to Catherine Kellogg Dent since November of 1997.  He has three daughters and one son.  Dave has a heart for recovery, but he also loves the process of discipleship. Dave Touched On Primarily, Dave shared the ministry of Celebrate Recovery.  Celebrate Recovery was instrumental in Dave's personal recovery from addiction.  Since then God has used Dave in the Celebrate Recovery ministry.

Oswald Sanders Contact Info Email Dave at:  DaDentSr@gmail.com What We Learned I learned a great deal talking with Dave. Here are three things that stood out. I came away with a much better understanding of Celebrate Recovery and what this ministry can provide to the local church. Another takeaway is how inclusive Celebrate Recovery can be.  It is not just an addiction ministry. Celebrate Recovery can address other problems and it ministers to children and teens as well. I really appreciated Dave's insights into discipleship.  For years discipleship has been the call of the western church.  Dave shared some resources that will help you in your discipleship ministry.

Stephen Link stops by to visit about Alameda's Celebrate Recovery Ministry.

Andy Jones should be locked away in prison, but God saved him.  Through a life of molestation, drugs, sex, theft and domestic abuse God was with him, but he refused to listen.  Andy has served as a ministry leader at Celebrate Recovery Ministry at Seacoast Grace Church, a ministry that helps broken people find their way back to God through a 12 step Christ based program.  This is his amazing testimony. “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her” - John 8:7 Biggest Weakness - Profanity Biggest Strength - Compassion and empathy Dark Time - Born to an alcoholic mother and father Andy struggled as a child.  At 7 years old he was put into a mental institution.  He was a wild child that his parents couldn’t handle.   If you misbehaved, you were locked into the white room where he saw his mom leave on a visit.   Andy stayed there for 16 weeks and then bounced back and forth between his mom and her crazy boyfriend and her dad and his abusive girlfriend.   Because he wet the bed, she would beat him regularly.  In school he was in special ed classes and fought a lot.  Andy was an outcast, but he found adults that he could spend time with. In junior high, Andy ran around with a crew called the River Rats.  During this time is when he began stealing and handling guns.  In the 8th grade he ran from the cops and ending up in jail for 30 days. Early on he was molested by a babysitter and other older men and women, but it seemed normal.  He explored sex for many years in situations he shouldn’t have. In his marriage Andy has learned that the most intimate thing he can do with his wife is pray. During high school, Andy tried to change, but he brought himself wherever he went.  He was a drug addict, sex addict and became very violent.  He began stealing again, took acid  and one night shot up a Toyota Dealership and gas station.  2 credits short of graduation he got 7 class A felonies.  They sent him to the penitentiary at 17. Prison was a gladiator school.  It’s a University for Felons where he could learn to be a better criminal. His grandmother was a woman of faith that saved his life.  She was a prayer warrior for Andy.  He always knew God had a plan for him, but he didn’t want to listen. Andy got his girlfriend pregnant and got married.  He tried to get sober, began meetings, but it didn’t work. He left his wife and kids and became addicted to smoking cocaine.  He couldn’t pay child support and was thrown in jail.  His ex-wife bailed him out and they remarried and had twins.  Andy still couldn’t stay clean.  He confesses that he was a very abusive husband. Andy moved back to California worked at a bar and found his next victim whom he stayed with for 20 years. When he met a stranger who broke down he became addicted to methamphetamines.  He was soon asked to deal meth and it became a big deal.  Although Andy was making a lot of money he never sent child support.  He was again arrested for not paying child support.  It was God saving him from a much worse prison sentence. He met a bank robber in prison who he took out on his first night back on the streets.  They found him dead in Andy’s car from a heroin overdose. At one point he was very high and snuck into a house to shoot up some guys who stole his stuff.  He ended up shooting a man in the chest.  He went on the run, but they tracked him down.  Nobody died, Andy got on his knees and prayed.  He got a deal for 5 years and knows that God had a plan. In prison Andy contracted Hep C from a heroin needle.  When his mom died, he couldn’t grieve while he was inside. Once he got out his 15 year old son wanted to have a relationship with him, but he didn’t know how to be a dad. One night a homeless crackhead came to him and said you need to straighten up.  This was Andy’s angel. Andy found out that his children had been raped by their stepdad since they were 7, but God had lifted his rage. Andy has held his job now for 15 years. He met his wife Cassie and she took him to Celebrate Recovery.  He’s been clean and sober since June 6th, 2003. Feed yourself with scripture.  Celebrate Recovery Ministry at Seacoast Grace Church is a ministry that helps broken people find their way back to God through a 12 step Christ based program and Andy became a minister there.
