A PG-13 Word From Pastor Dale


We're in the middle of a great series at Seacoast called "The Exchange" which is helping us understand  the choices reshaping our culture. Pastor Dale is speaking this week on the topic of homosexuality and wanted to make sure to give a heads up to all our parents of students. Here's a message from Dale:

Dear Seacoast Parents,

I appreciate your prayer for me as I finish preparing for this Sunday and the teaching of God's Truth about homosexuality. It is a PG-13 topic. The message will be honest and clear, full of Truth that is desperately needed today, especially by your students. I personally would advise bringing them to church with you but tell them the topic in advance. Perhaps reinforce the importance of hearing God's perspective on this controversial topic. They can not avoid it. They are hearing the world's view every day in a variety of ways.

Each parent must decide how, when and where to teach God's Truth about sexuality to their kids. As a parent, I've been there.  It is not easy, and getting harder as our culture moves further away from our God. So pray and follow your personal plan. I hope this week is helpful and equips you to better disciple your kids. It will be tactful, tasteful but full of Truth about homosexuality. It will offer hope and grace to those who struggle with this sin. And it will challenge us, the Church, to recognize our own sins as we reach out to a hurting and confused world. Most of all, it will proclaim Jesus as the answer for all people, and every struggle.

See you Sunday!
Pastor Dale

Learn To Die



Although this was written to pastors I believe everyone needs to hear it. After all, if you are a Christian, you have a ministry. So this applies to a high school student or a parent as much as it does to any pastor. We must all learn to die to ourselves in order to live for the glory of Another. 

+++++++++++++

The health and success of your ministry really are a matter of life and death. If you are ever going to be in ambassador in the hands of the God of glorious and powerful grace, you must die.

You must die to your plans for your own life.

You must die to your self- focused dreams of success.

You must die to your demands for comfort and ease.

You must die to your individual definition of the good life.

You must die to your demands for pleasure, acclaim, prominence, and respect.

You must die to your desire to be in control.

You must die to your hope for independent righteousness.

You must die to your plans for others.

You must die to your craving for a certain lifestyle or that particular location.

You must die to your own kingship.

You must die to the pursuit of your own glory in order to take up the cause of the glory of Another.

You must die to your control over your own time.

You must die to your maintenance of your reputation.

You must die to having the final answer and getting your own way.

You must die to your unfaltering confidence in you.

You must die.

And nothing helps “kill us” like private personal worship does. Your private devotional life has the power to kill the “me-ism” that is inside you (and me) that will again and again cause you to be in the way of, rather than part of, whatever it is that God is doing at the moment. Private personal worship is it an effective tool of grace in the hands of God to kill those things in you that must die in order that you be what you have been called to be and do what you have been appointed to do in your place of ministry.
