Living by Faith
Text: Luke 21:5-19; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Join us as we take a look at Jesus' response to a casual observation about the beauty of the temple. Pastor Jon encourages us to consider the "temples" in our lives--the tangible and visible elements that we are tempted to place our faith in. Instead of trusting in temporary security blankets, we are to put our faith in the invisible and eternal truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church - November 11, 2007
International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church
Text: Hebrews 11:32-12:4; Psalm 46
Did you know that there are an estimated 200 million Christians who live in places where they can be persecuted for their faith in Jesus? For the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, the Cape Elizabeth Church of the Nazarene attempted to simulate a portion of a secret worship service. We gathered in darkness and silence, with the shades pulled and the scriptures read in whispers. Listen to this message that Pastor Jon shared with the congregation about the persecuted church, and how we ought to live our lives. Join with us in prayer, as we lift their burdens to the Lord.
Some materials for the message were adapted and quoted from materials provided by Voice of the Martyrs and International Christian Concern.
