2024-11-211h 03Two Rivers Community Church of the NazareneStay TenderheartedPastor Bob started today’s teaching by telling the children of what happened to him during his third grade year. He was enticed by the other boys on the playground to run over and pull the hair of the girl with the long braids. Pastor Bob wanted to be accepted as “one of the boys” so he did it. But as soon as he pulled her braids, the little girl started crying. He felt so badly that he ran and hid behind the bicycle rack and cried, too.

(Note: Pastor Bob records the audio of his sermons with his iPhone. Today, he forgot to turn on the recording function until after the children's sermon. We dubbed the audio of the children's sermon from the video recording of today's service. That's why there is a noticeable difference in the audio quality.)

2021-03-2928 minTwo Rivers Community Church of the NazareneBecoming a Fisher of MenWhen Jesus told Simon Peter that he would be a “fisher of men”, Jesus told Simon to not be afraid. Why would he need to say that? Probably for the same reason we feel fear or anxiety when we think about telling other people about Jesus. Evangelism can be a frightening thing. But, it doesn’t have to be. Listen as Pastor Bob talks about how easy it is to be a “fisher of men.”

(Note: Following the sermon (and before the communion service), Pastor Bob realized he left out a key point--there is a distinct difference between guilt and shame.
