Thanksgiving Eve

Tonight's service was in Bible study format, so we didn't record it, but we had a wonderful time of worship and celebration of the ways the Lord has been faithful to us, led by Adrienne and John C. We studied Luke 17:11-19. Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one, a Samaritan--despised by most--turned back to thank Him. Adrienne and John even added a bit of choreography to illustrate our need to turn back to the One who is faithful.

Let's not neglect to turn back to the Lord with grateful hearts for all that He's done for us.

Celebrate Thanksgiving with St. Patrick!

Join us Sunday for Roger Nelson's Confession of St. Patrick, November 24, 11am. Roger was a great inspiration to Rich Swingle, husband of Pastor Joyce Swingle. Rich has also made a career of one-man plays. They teamed for an Off-Broadway run in 2006. Roger performed The Man from Aldersgate, about John Wesley. Wesley founded the Methodist Church, which produced our denomination, The Church of the Nazarene. The symbol of the Methodist Church is the flame of the Holy Spirit. During that Off-Broadway run Rich performed Beyond the Chariots, which tells the rest of the Chariots of Fire story. Together Rich and Roger brought Fire Off-Broadway.

Watch St. Patrick leap to life as he addresses you in 450 AD. Patrick has called for this gathering as an occasion to celebrate God's faithfulness to him and his work in Ireland. What better way to prepare for Thanksgiving!

Prayer for Operation Christmas Child



After creating homemade Christmas ornaments Pastor Jim Warren and members of Westchester Chapel pray over the Operation Christmas Child boxes they filled.

Living the Life: Choices series review

Rich Swingle led a special service, which included a review of our Living the Life: Choices sermon series. What you'll hear was preceded by small groups reviewing and reporting on their favorite passages from "The Sermon on the Mount", the text we've been covering in the series so far: Matthew 5:3-7:12.



Here's the full quote by Randall Flinn, artistic director of Ad Deum Dance Company:
I learned today that in order to live a transformational life that I first must learn to live a sacramental life. So what is sacramental living? It is living in the remembrance and to the honor of a greater Sacrifice, broken, shed and given for me. It is for me to receive from that Living Communion and also to give from its same mystery. This majestic Grace which incarnates itself, even in a vessel of flesh, bids me to sup, to be filled, and to pour out. What sweet communion indeed! (On his Facebook Timeline)
And here's the study that shows Christianity in China will double in 6.6 years: The Top 20 Countries Where Christianity is Growing the Fastest.

Questions answered after Indescribable


After we showed Indescribable at Westchester Chapel Rich Swingle, who plays Fredrick Lehman in the film, fielded questions about the production. You can hear his answers here:

I (Rich) mentioned that PG films always do better at the box office than R-rated films. Here are the statistics for 2009, the most recent that I could find in a quick search. It's courtesy of Camelot Entertainment Group:
There were 558 feature films released in 2009, down from 633 in 2008. 28%, or 158, of those were released by the major studios. 400, or 72%, were released by independent distributors. Of the top 25 films in 2009, 1 movie earned more than $400,000,000 at the U.S./Canadian box office in 2009; 1 movie earned more than $300,000,000; 5 earned between $200,000,000 and $300,000,000, and 18 earned between $100,000,000 and $199,000,000. PG-13 films continue to dominate the top 25, with 13 films in the top 25. 9 films were rated PG and 3 films were rated R. Overall, approximately 50% of all movies released theatrically were rated PG-13. 30% were rated PG, 15% were rated R and 5% were rated G.
While I was doing that research I happened upon a fascinating article by Ted Baer backing up a lecture we heard at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival and a talk from one of last year's MasterWorks guest artists, Philip TelferWho Stole Our Culture? It outlines how the wrenching of our society from it's Christian moorings is actually a well-documented "long march" toward Marxism.

Someone asked how they could give toward the distribution of Christian films. If you'd like to give toward the film that I mentioned (live only). You can give here: RichDrama.com/Donate. We're looking into whether or not you can receive a tax deduction, so check back here (RichDrama.com/FilmProject) to see if that is possible.

Loving or Hating Your Enemies

Pastor Joyce Swingle continues the Choices Series on the Sermon on the Mount, illuminating Matthew 5:43-48. Pastor Randy Solomon opens with prayer. Pastor Linda Warren prays over Rich and Pastor Joyce Swingle as they prepare to serve at the MasterWorks Festival as director of the theatre program and pastoral care/counseling respectively. Musical interludes by Samhill Road


For information on the MasterWorks Festival Theatre performances visit MasterWorksFestival.org/NYC. The event on July 10 will include comedy improv by the MasterWorks MasterWits, Jeannie Ortega, singing and telling her testimony about performing with Rihanna before finding the Lord, and Broadway performer Stephen Trafton sharing his one-man play on the book of Philippians.

When Joyce and I (Rich) were in Hong Kong we met James Hudson Taylor III, the great-grandson of Hudson Taylor, who made great inroads into sharing the Good News in China. Jamie, as everyone called him, told us about a ceremony the Chinese held at the 60th Anniversary of the liberation of the internment camp in Weihsien, where he and Eric Liddell were imprisoned during World War II. Jamie told us how "Uncle Eric" challenged the students to consider Matthew 5:43-48, the passage in today's sermon: If Jesus says we should love our enemies, shouldn't we love the Japanese? Most of the students were shocked that he would suggest that they love their captors, but a young man named Stephen Metcalf began to pray for the Japanese. In Olympic Hero in China, a documentary I helped create about Eric Liddell, Stephen says about his prayers, "I found that it didn't change the Japanese, but it did change me." He went on to be a missionary to Japan for 40 years. He was asked to speak at the 60th Anniversary ceremony, but his speech had to be cleared by Chinese officials. You can read that speech here.
