Gaither Bob Peterson, trombone Scripture Reading Matthew 14:22-33 Sandra Peterson Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Sermon “The Storm He Sees” Leif Lind Closing Hymn “God, Who Made Each Great Wide Ocean” Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Tune: BEACH SPRING (1) God, who made each great wide ocean and who moved o’er restless seas, By your word you set in motion mighty storm and gentle breeze. Wind and Spirit show your glory, seas and waves your strength declare; Ships and boats point to the story of your wondrous love and care. (2) Jesus in a boat was preaching on a lake called Galilee; Later, Christ — with hand out-reaching — called to Peter in the sea. Frightened by a storm they called him, “Master, will you let us drown?” In that boat there, Jesus awed them; he said “Peace!” The winds calmed down. (3) When the storms of life are blowing and our church knows doubt and fear, Lord, may we find peace in knowing you command a safe ship here. May we hoist the sails, relying on your Spirit, steady, true. See! This ship is almost flying! May we place our trust in you. Benediction Leif Lind (Please be seated after the benediction) Postlude “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” Jon Spong The boat, an ancient Christian symbol of the church, being safely carried across the storms of life SERMON RESOURCES: “So the typical ‘lesson’ derived from this text often borders on the … misunderstanding of the nature of faith…. The message is not ‘If [Peter] had had enough faith, he could have walked on the water,’ just as the message to us is not ‘If we had enough faith, we could overcome all our problems in spectacular ways.’ This interpretation is wrong in that it identifies faith with spectacular exceptions to … our ordinary days, days that are all subject to the laws of physics and biology. This is wrong because when our fantasies of overcoming this … are shattered by the realities of accident, disease, aging, and circumstance and we begin to sink, this view encourages us to feel guilty because of our ‘lack of faith!’ “Faith is not being able to walk on the water — only God can do that — but daring to believe, in the face of all the evidence that God is with us in the boat, made real in the community of faith as it makes its way through the storm, battered by the waves.” — New Interpreter’s Bible, Vol. VIII, pp. 329, 330 CHURCH LIFE All are welcome—whoever you are, whatever your journey or background. God excludes no one, and neither do we. Today’s flowers are given by Judson Ravi to Pastor Leif’s son, Svend Lind, and Laurénie Sulliger in honor of their recent wedding in Switzerland.

Now that our church ministry leaders have been elected for the next two years, they will be reaching out to you to ask you to join their ministry teams to make each part of Glendale City Church work effectively while not overburdening any volunteer. WHAT ARE CAMP MEETINGS?: “A series of meetings held for a number of days [often 10], generally in a rural or semirural setting, with provision for encampment on the grounds; a type of meeting now peculiar to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and a few other denominations. Camp meetings are held in various sections of the world, usually annually, and at times when the weather is suitable for such occasions…. Camp meetings originated among the Presbyterians in Kentucky in the early years of the nineteenth century and later flourished especially among the Methodists. SDA camp meetings began in 1868, five years after the General Conference was incorporated in 1863. The background for the SDA gatherings was in the Millerite camp meetings of 1842-1844, in which both James White and Joseph Bates, early leaders of the SDA Church, had participated, and in similar meetings held by the Methodist Church with notable success…. Steering away from the basically evangelistic nature of the nineteenth-century camp meetings, SDAs today tend more and more to utilize these yearly sectional gatherings as spiritual meetings for the church members, though not ignoring opportunities for neighborhood evangelism.” — The Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia MARK YOUR CALENDARS Worship Service, September 2 & 16, 11 a.m. Pastor Todd Leonard “Imago Dei.” Pastor Todd finishes his sermon series looking at the human story though the lens of God’s blessing rather than evil’s curse.

  • Historic Context Report: a Harvest in the Open for Saving Souls-The Camp Meetings of Montgomery County
    HISTORIC CONTEXT REPORT “A Harvest in the Open for Saving Souls” The Camp Meetings of Montgomery County By Elizabeth Jo Lampl with Clare Lise Kelly Montgomery County Planning Department Historic Preservation Section Prepared for the Maryland Historical Trust July 2004 SOURCE OF COPIES: The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission 8787 Georgia Avenue Silver Spring, Maryland 20910-3760 www.montgomeryplanning.org/historic Author: Elizabeth Jo Lampl, with Clare Lise Kelly (Cavicchi) Originally published as Montgomery County Department of Park and Planning Reprinted 2012, Montgomery County Planning Department Cover photo: Spencerville Camp Meeting (see page 68 for photo credit) I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nineteenth-century Montgomery County was an ideal locale for the American ‘camp meeting,’ a phenomenon that started in the mid-1700s and has endured into the present day. The camp meeting was a religious gathering set in nature - a grove, a clearing on a farm, or a seaside spot. The meeting was characterized by large audiences attending religious services and camping at the site of those services for an extended period of time. At the writing of this report, the local camp meeting tradition is at risk of completely dying out, for only one of the four, primary camp meetings of the Montgomery County remains active and it is threatened. The importance of documenting this tradition is critical and twofold: First, the camp meetings belong to both a national and local folklore tradition that faces obstacles to its continuance. It is important to capture the voices, faces, and stories of those who participated in the evangelical revivals, many of whom represent the last generation to offer us authentic oral histories.

  • Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies, August 2007 HISTORY and DEVELOPMENT of METHODISM (Post-Wesley) Working Group
    Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies, August 2007 HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF METHODISM (post-Wesley) Working Group From the Prairies to the Potteries – Cultural Adaptation and the English Camp Meeting British Methodism has at the heart of its theological self-understanding acts of remembrance and of proclamation. The Doctrinal standards of the church set out in Clause 4 of the Deed of Union declare that the church ‘ever remembers that in the providence of God Methodism was raised up to spread scriptural holiness through the land by the proclamation of the evangelical faith and declares its unfaltering resolve to be true to its divinely appointed mission.’1 (CPD Pt2 p 213) The phrasing does of course have echoes of Wesley’s own understanding of the purposes of his movement and reflects the distinctive noted by James C Logan ‘…Methodists were a mission movement before they ever became a church…Other church traditions may trace their origins to distinctive confessional or theological patterns. Wesleyans on the other hand, became a church not for confessional reasons but for evangelistic or missional reasons’2 For this reason, the historical celebration of origins in the tradition, if it is to be done theologically, is necessarily a re- examination of the identity and purpose of Methodism – not simply a recollection of ‘what happened when’ but rather of ‘why we did happen and why we continue to exist as a tradition’ This year of 2007 has seen the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the first English Camp Meeting held at Mow Cop in Staffordshire on May 31st 1807.

  • CHURCHES of the NOT-SO-STANDING ORDER by Peter J
    CHURCHES OF THE NOT-SO-STANDING ORDER By Peter J. Gomes Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number 18, 1966 When confronted with the mass of material relating to Plymouth’s religious life in the last century a vast amount of editing and defining must be done. The task is a difficult one, for it is quite easy to be caught up in the intricacies of memorabilia and artifacts, genealogy and antiquarianism in so broad a topic that the necessary scope and vision become obscured in a welter of details. The details are meant only as illustration of the broader pattern and are of little worth in themselves, to us anyway. Let me define our area for consideration by telling you what I do not intend to deal with: I shall avoid a discussion of Lutheranism and Catholicism, not out of some capricious whim, but because I am convinced that these religions can only be seen adequately within the context of the European immigration movements of which they were so important a part. I shall further avoid a discussion of the peculiar particulars of the much-discussed and little understood "Unitarian Controversy" of 1801 except as a necessary prelude to greater developments in the Plymouth religious scene. And finally, the various destinies of the daughters and stepdaughters of the Pilgrim Church are also not the proper subject of this paper. It would take a major dissertation merely to consider the schisms, personal and theological, which sprinkled Congregational churches all over the Plymouth landscape. In order to have anything at all left to say, I concern myself with what I would call "Churches of the Not-So-Standing Order" or perhaps subtitled "Churches Not Seen from Clark’s Island." I am devoting myself to the evangelical, minority sects, the pent-up harvest of the first "Great Awakening" of the 1740s, which made their initial presence felt in this ancient Pilgrim town from the coming of the Baptists in 1809 to the celebrated Negro Camp meetings of the AME Church at Morton Park in 1866.
