1. Weekly News from WCUMC-5/26/2013
Sharing the transforming love of Jesus, across the street and around the world.
Sermon Series- A Heart Exam for the Church -
Christ’s Message to the Seven Churches
(Revelation 1-3)
Don’t Tolerate Evil
- Hold On To The Truth -
Revelation 2:18-29
“Write this to the angel of the church in Thyatira: These are the words
of God’s Son, whose eyes are like a fiery flame, and whose feet are like
fine brass. I know your works, your love and faithfulness, your service
and endurance. I also know that the works you have done most recently
are even greater than those you did at first.
But I have this against you: you put up with that woman, Jezebel, who
calls herself a prophet. You allow her to teach and to mislead my
servants into committing sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to
idols. I gave her time to change her heart and life, but she refuses to
change her life of prostitution. Look! I’m throwing her onto a sickbed. I
am casting those who have committed adultery with her into terrible
hardship—if they don’t change their hearts from following her practices—
and I will even put her children to death with disease.

2. Then all the churches will know that I’m the one who examines minds
and hearts, and that I will give to each of you what your actions
deserve. As for the rest of you in Thyatira—those of you who don’t
follow this teaching and haven’t learned the so-called “deep secrets” of
Satan—I won’t burden you with anything else. Just hold on to
what you have until I come. To those who emerge victorious, keeping my
practices until the end, I will give authority over the nations— to rule
the nations with an iron rod and smash them like pottery— just as I
received authority from my Father. I will also give them the morning
star. If you can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
In this message, Jesus Christ commends the church in Thyatira for
their Love and Faithfulness
I know your works, your love and faithfulness, your service and
endurance. I also know that the works you have done most recently are
even greater than those you did at first.
But He also rebukes them for compromising their faith and warns them
of the consequences.
But I have this against you: you put up with that woman, Jezebel, who
calls herself a prophet. You allow her to teach and to mislead my
servants into committing sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to
idols … I am casting those who have committed adultery with her into
terrible hardship—if they don’t change their hearts from following her
practices … I will give to each of you what your actions deserve.
The faithful are called to hold on to what they have -- THE TRUTH
To those who emerge victorious, keeping my practices until the end, I
will give authority over the nations—to rule the nations with an iron rod
and smash them like pottery—just as I received authority from my
Father. I will also give them the morning star. If you can hear, listen to
what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
To those who hold on to the truth, Jesus promises a place of Kingdom
partnership and authority

6. Small Change Changes Lives.
Outdoor Adventures
All Outdoor Adventure trips are open to family and friends. A great opportunity to invite
non-Christians to a non-threatening church sponsored event!
Dungeness Spit Kayaking-Hiking-Camping Trip - Friday-Sunday, June 14-16th,
We camp at Dungeness Recreation area near Sequim, Washington on Friday and Saturday
nights (we have some camping equipment for newbies). On Saturday, half our group
kayaks to the lighthouse at the end of the spit while the other half hikes out (about 5
miles). Then we switch off and the other half kayaks back while the kayakers hike back -
a full body work out in a beautiful location. Sunday we break
camp and have an outdoor worship service overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Afterwards for those interested, we will go see the animals at the Olympic Game Farm.
Warning, this is no zoo. You really get up close and personal with buffaloes and other
impressive animals (like Grizzly Bears!). Then it’s back home on the ferry.
Cost: $20 per person (includes 2 nights camping and use of the kayaks), plus ferry fees.
Olympic game farm charges $11 per adult. This is a very popular trip so sign up soon in
the narthex. Unfortunately because of the cost involved, we are asking people to put
down a $10 deposit to reserve your spot.
If you have questions on any of these events, please contact Bob or Sandy Clemence at
425-486-0762.
