Pastor Dave brings us the Word of God - sometimes smashing our idols and expectations, but always bringing salvation!
Andy takes us through the third chapter of Judges and God's plan for revival being revealed and unfolded across history and the arc of scripture.
This passage serves as a template, a pattern for the rest of the book of Judges. God's kindness and longsuffering in light of his people's spiritual adultery.
The youth group took some time to share about their summer mission trip.

This is the final sermon in our series on Revelation 4 & 5. The Lamb is reigning now from the throne. Listen in as we look at the nature of the Lambs reign and how those who follow him join with him in reigning now. (please note a correction, our brother who was martyred along with our Egyptian brothers was from Chad, not Ghana as I stated in the sermon).

Eugene Peterson says this about the final book of the Bible, “We do not read the Revelation to get additional information about life and faith in Christ. We have read it all before in law and prophet, gospel and epistle. Everything in the Revelation can be found in the previous sixty-five books of the Bible. The Revelation adds nothing of substance to what we already know. The truth of the gospel is already complete, revealed in Jesus Christ. There is nothing new to say on the subject. But, there is a new way to say it. We read the Revelation not to get more information but to revive our imaginations. The imagination is our way into the divine imagination, permitting us to see wholly - as whole and holy- what we perceived as scattered, as order what we perceives as random.”
