Marina gave an encouraging reminder on how to look at God's face. Pastor Dwayne looked at our North American culture that is changing fast in a bad direction. We do not need to just passively observe it. Listen to the recording below and get out of you chair to do something!

George gave his testimony followed by short messages from Ferdi, Mike, pastor Dwayne Trelenberg and Georgina. George showed some historical slides. Ferdi shared the video clip below on healing miracles. There was an empty chair on stage - reminding people to get out of passivity and to do some good. Some of the video clips have poor sound. You may prefer to listen to the audio recording that is also included below.
Go to 9:00 in the next video clip for the relevant part.
2 Corinthians 5:17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! NLT
1 Timothy 1:15 This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners"-- and I am the worst of them all. NLT Romans 8:15-16 15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." 16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children. NLT Philippians 4:13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. NLT Luke 10:2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Luke 10:3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. NIV Luke 10:9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.' Luke 10:17, 20 17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." Luke 10:21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. Luke 11:13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" 1 Corinthians 12:31, 13:1 31 But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way. 1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

John 8:31,32,36 NLT 31 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." 36 So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. Luke 4:18-19 18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, 19 and that the time of the Lord's favor has come. " NLT Galatians 5:1,13 NLT 1 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law. 13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Deuteronomy 23:3-6 3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the tenth generation. 4 For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. 5 However, the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you. 6 Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them as long as you live. NIV John 12:32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." NIV Three people used the "empty chair" illustration from last week as motivation for getting active and doing something! It seems to be a new meme in this church? Debra had her first opportunity to play the keyboard for worship - so fresh! Pastor Dwayne was in and out of the chair numerous times. Listen to the recording to understand the dangers of trying to be a "good person". Pastor Dwayne shows a better way. 
Luke 18:18-19 NIV 18 A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 19 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good - except God alone."
Acts 10:38 NIV ... how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Matthew 20:28 NIV just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. 1 John 2:1 1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. NIV Mark 8:18 NIV Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember? A different than normal service: We had 4 main speakers sharing their visions for where to put emphasis on in this coming time.
