At 11:00 we saw what looked like just another Jesus/synagogue/miracle story but saw Jesus threading together his picture of the kingdom of God. Download mp3. Podcasts on Podcast page.

At 9:30 we’ll begin Revelation 14. The dragon and his beasts were allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. On Mount Zion appeared the Lamb that had been slain and his army of 144,000 to reveal the lie of the dragon’s impostor regime.

At 11:00 we’ll talk about time and pain in the light of Luke 13:6-9. Does God excuse himself from our pain?

After the 11:00 Worship Service we’ll have a congregational meeting where we’ll elect new elders and deacons, vote on the budget, and vote on the status of the lease with the Living Stones Center. We will have food after the service so those of you who were here for the whole morning won’t faint.

At 9:30 we saw the second beast team religions with empire and we looked at that most famous number from the book of Revelation 666. Download Audio mp3 file. Subscribe to a podcast. Subscribe via ITunes.

At 11:00 we looked at Luke 13 where Jesus notes that we instinctively imagine those who suffer a calamity somehow were more deserving of that calamity than those whose lives go well. Download audio mp3. Subscribe to the sermon podcast. Subscribe to the sermons via ITunes.

At 9:30 we resumed our study of Revelation in chapter 13. The dragon and his proxy empire deceive the world by their power. God allows them to wage war and defeat his saints making plain the fullness of the knowledge of good and evil. Download the mp3. Subscribe to it on ITunes. Podcast RSS Feed.

At 11:00 we looked at the end of Luke 12 where Jesus says he came and division will follow. This is confusing. Why would so many want not just to oppose, but to kill a man who fed and healed masses? Download the mp3. Subscribe to it on ITunes, Podcast RSS Feed.

9:30: The Adult Sunday School study of the book of Revelation will start up again and we’ll resume by looking at chapter 13. In chapter 13 there is an unholy trinity of the dragon and two beasts who parody the work of Jesus but conquer through coercion rather than loving sacrifice.

11:00 We’ll look at Luke 12 where Jesus says he didn’t come to bring peace, but division. These words seems strange coming from someone who is named “the Prince of Peace”. We’ll try to figure out together what that means.

At 9:30 we’ll look at Revelation 13 where a strange beast comes out of the sea. What can we make of all this?

At 11:00 we’ll see how Peter was inching towards becoming a Pharisee and how Jesus’ story works him, and us, away from it.

After the worship service we’ll have a potluck for Phillip Vander Klay who will be heading off to Calvin College in the fall. Nina will have hotdogs read. Others are asked to bring a salad, side dish or desert to share.

At 9:30 we saw how the dragon of Revelation 12 overplayed his hand in going after the child of the woman causing his expulsion from the heavenly court. Download audio mp3 Subscribe to this study on ITunes Podcasts.

At 11:00 we continued working in Luke and looked at the fact that our inability to gain perspective on ourselves makes it difficult to know God. Download Sermon mp3 Subscribe to LS Sermons on ITunes Podcasts.
