This week has been especially busy with regards to prayer needs, both within our own church family and within our state.  Continue to pray for all those who have been and are being impacted by the devastating fires.  Also, pray for rain and that the weather would cooperate as firefighters and frontline workers battle to save homes and lives. Thank you for being a praying church.

This Sunday, we will continue our summer series called, FOCUSED.  I believe the word "focused" is a perfect way to describe how Jesus lived his life here on earth.  Everything Jesus said or did, from his formal teachings, parables and miracles, to his dinner conversations, were designed to point people to God and His kingdom.  Jesus said it best in Matthew 6:33:  "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously and he will give you everything you need." 

In Hebrews 11:6 the author writes these words, "He (God) rewards those who earnestly seek him".  Earnest, diligent, sincere, these are all great words to describe how we are to seek after God.  In other words, be hungry in your searching, relentless in your pursuit.  Don't be satisfied with the stars in the sky.  Seek him as the shepherds did.  Long for him as Simeon did.  Worship him as the wise men did.  God rewards those who seek him.  Not those who seek doctrine or religion or systems or creeds.  The reward is reserved for those who seek nothing less than God Himself.  And what is the reward?  That we will be given the heart of Jesus (II Corinthians 3:18).  Can you think of a better gift than than to be like Jesus?  Come this Sunday, focused, ready to seek the face of God, so that we can be changed through the power of the Holy Spirit into the likeness of His Son, Jesus.

I hope you and your family had a fun and relaxing Fourth of July!  Rose and I, along with our girls, just returned Thursday night from a week-long trip to Lake Tahoe.  We did some lounging at the lake, played mini-golf, hiked in an afternoon thunderstorm, got caught in a massive hailstorm on the freeway that literally stopped traffic, went river rafting down the Truckee River and saw two bears up close.  All in all, we had a great time! 

This Sunday, Pastor Norm will continue our summer series called, FOCUSED.  Our vision behind this series is to enter into a season where we intentionally regain our focus on who Jesus is and who He has called us to be as a church.  When we focus on Jesus, transformation in our lives and the lives of those around us is inevitable.  Focusing our attention on Jesus will ultimately lead to an intimacy with Him which in turn allows us to experience abundant life.

As you prepare for this Sunday's worship gathering, I would encourage you to read Psalm 84 and let the Psalmist guide you into  the worship of God.  In each of the three sections of Psalm 84, you will discover God's special ways of revealing Himself to us.  Psalm 84 lays before us a reminder of our life journey of knowing and pursuing God which serves as our base for our times of worship.  Verses 5-8 take us on a special path showing how the Lord is intimately involved in our lives--even during difficult times

Happy "almost" Fourth of July.

It's hard to believe that this Sunday is July 4th.  I can't think of a better way to celebrate the freedom we have in this country to worship God than by gathering together to do just that.  The writer of Hebrews tells us not to neglect meeting together, especially as we look forward, with anticipation, to the return of Jesus.   

This Sunday, Larry Annes will kick-off our summer series called, FOCUSED.  Our vision behind this series is to enter into a season where we intentionally regain our focus on who Jesus is and who He has called us to be as a church.  When we focus on Jesus, transformation in our lives and the lives of those around us is inevitable.  Focusing our attention on Jesus will ultimately lead to an intimacy with Him which in turn allows us to experience abundant life.

Focusing on Jesus also brings freedom in our lives and allows us to see His purposes for us. In any area that we are struggling, as we set our eyes on Jesus, we will receive power to overcome those areas of weakness. Now more than ever, we need to keep our focus on Jesus, so that He can bring clarity to what may seem chaotic and unclear.

Last week, I tried to illustrate this with an object lesson.  I started with an empty jar and filled it up with little rocks, then I tried to squeeze in a big rock at the top.  When I did this the big rock wasn't able to fit in the jar and was sticking out the top. But when I placed the big rock in the empty jar first and then poured in all the little rocks, everything fit. In this illustration, the little rocks represent all of the things that can easily fill our time and energy: work responsibilities, family, to-do lists, entertainment, school, etc... If we put these things first, we won't be able to fit the big rock: Jesus and the things Jesus is calling us to do in our lives. But if the big rock comes first, all of the little ones will find their place. That is what it looks like to live a focused life. Jesus Himself lived a focused life. He was concerned with completing the task that God had given Him (John 17:4) and He was able to do that by keeping the right focus. In our lives, if we don't start first with Jesus, everything else will get out of line.

Let me begin with this...

YES...we will have the air conditioning going on Sunday, so please join us for the 9:30am service in our fully air-conditioned worship center AND stick around for the bbq at noon in our fully air-conditioned Fireside Room. 

Did I mention that we will have the church cool on Sunday and ready for your arrival!  Please join us!

That's enough about the weather.  As we conclude our series in the book of Acts, I would like to make one specific observation.  While the book of Acts provides us with details and stories surrounding the launch and growth of the early church, this was not Luke's purpose in sharing this narrative with us.  It also wasn't to highlight the incredible missionary journey of Paul and the other disciples, who risked their lives to preach the gospel.  While most of us, myself included, like to think of Acts as a church history book, this was not the reason behind its inclusion in the New Testament canon.

The book of Acts is first and foremost, about the Kingdom of God.  In Acts 1:3, we read that Jesus spent 40 days after his crucifixion and resurrection, talking about the Kingdom of God.  Acts concludes with Paul, in Rome, boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God to anyone willing to listen.  The purpose of Acts AND the local church is to glorify God and proclaim His kingdom.  In Matthew 6:33, Jesus said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God...and all these things will be provided for you".   

I want to invite you to join us this Sunday at 9:30am, as we wrap-up our time in Acts and transition to our next series, called FOCUSED.  When we seek first the Kingdom of God and focus our lives on Jesus, transformation will take place in our lives and in the lives of those around us. 

Reminder:  Plan now to join me and others in my office at 8:45am for a brief time of prayer before our worship gathering.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to attend the SBC Annual Convention in Nashville.  One of the speakers I had the privilege of hearing from was Dr. Hearshel York.  Dr. York is the Dean of the School of Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Dr. York preached on Psalm 44 and the title of his message was, The Humiliation of Rejection.  Preaching on a passage that deals specifically with God's rejection of his people seemed odd, and even out-of-place at a time when so many of us were looking for hope in the midst of chaos and division.  However, through his message, Dr. York reminded all of us that "The cross is the answer to Psalm 44, because while we don't always know why at times God seems so distant, we do know that while we may feel defeated, humiliated and rejected, God is at work in order to redeem us through the cross".  Dr. York's words are an important reminder to never lose faith that God is still on His throne.

This Sunday at 9:30am, Pastor Roger will be continuing our trip through the book of Acts.  His focus this week will be on Acts 20:13-38.  As you prepare your hearts for Sunday, take some time to read Acts 20:26-27.  With these two verses, Paul provides us with two convictions that had been with him since his conversion.  First, he had deserved to die on the road to Damascus, but the Lord extended mercy; each day after that was a gift of grace.  Second, he had to preach Christ with every day given to him.  Very little mattered to Paul beyond these two convictions.  What convictions dictate how you live your life?  Do you live your life knowing that each day is a gift from our Savior, Jesus?

Plan now to join me and others in my office at 8:45am for a brief time of prayer before our worship gathering.

​This Sunday, June 13th at 9:30am, we will continue our series Fasten Your Seatbelts, where we are focusing our attention on the book of Acts and the beginning of this movement called "Church".  Through our time in the book of Acts, we've discovered that the early was not a place you went to.  The church wasn't a building or an institution.  The church was started as a movement among early believers who had committed themselves to the teaching of the Apostles, fellowship, meals (including the Lord's Supper) and prayer.  It was a movement of people centered around the message of Jesus and His resurrection.  If I had to choose one word to describe the church in the book of Acts, it would be the word "Sent".  Every single believer in the early church knew that their purpose was to communicate the message of Jesus to everyone they came in contact with. 

The question we have been asking throughout this series is this:  "What would it look like if Parkside Fellowship looked more like the church in Acts?"  What would it look like if each of us, as individuals, answered the call of Jesus in Acts 1:8:  "And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere--in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  And, "What does it look like to live a "Sent" life?"  I understand that being "sent" and sharing about Jesus can be scary.  What would you say if you someone suddenly came up to you and started peppering you with questions about Jesus, the Bible and your faith?  How would you handle yourself? 

On Sunday at 9:30am, Mary Jo Sharp is going take us through Paul's encounter with unbelievers in Acts 17.  Through this story, Paul is going to provide us with some insights and patterns for how to conduct ourselves when we face questions about our faith in Jesus.  Hopefully through Paul's experience, you will gain confidence when engaging others with the gospel message. 

Also, Plan now to join Pastor Roger and others in my office at 8:45am for a brief time of prayer before our worship gathering.

Closed doors and missed opportunities aren't quite so frustrating with the right perspective.  When you trust God's plan, knowing He's in control and his plans are better than your plans, anxiety seems to disappear, or at the very least, transitions to hopeful optimism.  In Acts 16, Paul's closed doors and apparent missed opportunities, offers some helpful truth to keep in mind when we feel liked we've reached a dead-end.

Three things to think about as you prepare to join us on Sunday at 9:30am for part 8 of Fasten Your Seatbelts:

1.  Before the Lord can turn us, He often has to stop us. 
2.  God never closes a door without a plan to open another one
3.  Doors open and close according to God's timing, which is perfect.

Better than any other word, change describes our world.  Vast, sweeping changes, especially in the last 15 months!  All of us, some more than others, have had to make adjustments.  Whether it's the way we work, the way we shop, the way we communicate, all of us have had to modify our methods.  The old Roman politician, Publilius Syrus, was right when he wrote:  "It is a bad plan that admits of no modification."

And I don't mean just slight modifications.  Some things must undergo drastic alterations if we hope to stay on the cutting edge.  Technological advancements in the last century and in some cases, the last 6 months have changed drastically.  Agricultural processes have changed, house, modes of transportation, medicine, music, computers and cars have all undergone changes.

With change comes the need to stay creative, original and sensitive, so as not to become dated and institutionalized.  More than anything else, I'm convinced, the thing that attracted people to Jesus was His fresh, authentic, original style in a world filled with tired phrases, rigid rules, and empty religion.  Remember the report made to the Pharisees?  "Nobody ever spoke like this man."  He was in step with the times without stepping out of the Father's will. 

Fresh, authentic and original, not only described the ministry of Jesus, but also the early church.  Join us at 9:30am as Larry Annes continues our series, Fasten Your Seatbelts.  This week, we will be in Acts 12, as we continue to read about how God used a group of diverse, untrained, radical Christians to spread the gospel within the context of a constantly changing environment.

Also, don't forget to join me in my office at 8:45am for a brief time of prayer before our worship gathering.

As most of you are aware, on Tuesday, May 18th, the Oregon Health Authority released updated mask and social distancing guidelines.  Based on these guidelines, our church council has adopted the following mask policy for Parkside Fellowship, beginning this Sunday, May 23rd. 
 
Individuals attending church services at Parkside Fellowship, who are fully vaccinated, will not be required to wear a mask or social distance from others who are fully vaccinated.  According to the CDC, a person is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after their second dose series, such as Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or 14 days after a single dose vaccine, such as Johnson and Johnson's Janssen vaccine. 
 
We ask those who are not fully vaccinated to continue to wear a mask and social distance for your own health and the health of those around you.  In addition, anyone who does not yet feel comfortable attending church services without a mask is encouraged to continue wearing a mask or face covering.  I don't know about you, but these newest guidelines from OHA provide me with a sense of hope that the end of the pandemic is near and a "new normal" is right around the corner!

If you have any questions, please email Pastor Doug at doug.boyd@parksidefellowship.org

Then join us on Sunday at 9:30am, as Pastor Doug continues our Fasten Your Seatbelts series.  Our focus this week will be on Acts 9, as we peek into the unlikely conversion of Saul of Tarsus, who would later become known as Paul the Apostle.

Luke's description of Saul's hatred for Christians drips with intrigue.  Earlier, the narrative indicates that Saul had supported the plot to arrest, convict, and stone Stephen.  Saul then began a reign of terror in Jerusalem, ravaging the church, entering house after house, and dragging off men and women, he would put them in prison.  Saul's persecution may have lasted as long as 3 years.  But instead of destroying the church, his efforts sent the gospel farther, faster.  Later on, we will learn how Paul's past actually helped in his newfound role as chief protagonist for Christianity. 

Please join us at 9:30am, as we gather together to give glory to God for all He has done for us!

Being from California, I am absolutely loving this weather.  I know we need the rain, but take some time this weekend to get outside and enjoy this playground called earth, that our Heavenly Father created just for us! 

In fact, as I step outside into the sun, I am reminded of Psalm 100, "Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!  Worship the Lord with gladness.  Come before him, singing with joy.  Acknowledge that the Lord is God!  He made us, and we are his.  We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise.  Give thanks to him and praise his name.  For the Lord is good.  His unfailing love continues forever and his faithfulness continues to each generation."

Then join us on Sunday as Pastor Norm continues our Fasten Your Seatbelts series.  Throughout the book of Acts, Luke shows the church challenged, the church guided by the Holy Spirit, and the church triumphant.  The purpose of Acts is to demonstrate, from the facts of history, that the church has become God's instrument for our redemption and restoration, that the church is guided by His Spirit, and that nothing can prevent Christ from building His church.  The book of Acts opens with Jesus commissioning his followers to be witnesses of his death and resurrection, to lead His church forward, and it closes with the assurance that, even under duress, the preaching of the "kingdom of God" will continue.  Please join us at 9:30am, as we gather together to give glory to God for all He has done for us!

Also, don't forget to join me in my office at 8:45am for a brief time of prayer before our worship gathering.

This week, Mark will look at Titus 2:15 which reads, "These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you."  This can be a challenging verse in the face of today's culture.  Be sure and join us at 10:45am, in-person or on zoom.  See details below on how to join.
