Come, Spirit, Come

Session 5.20 for May 19, 2013

Happy Birthday to the Church! That's right — this is the week that we celebrate when the Holy Spirit was given to the believers at Pentecost and we recognize it as the church's birthday! Today's text from the Psalms celebrates that God's spirit has been at work among us sense the beginning. Where do you sense God's spirit at work in your life?

Come, Lord Jesus

Session 5.19 for May 12, 2013

This session concludes the last in our six-week series in the book of Revelation. We have focused a great deal on hope and persevering through difficult times. We’ve learned that the early Christians faced terrible persecution. We’ve noted that it’s been 2000 years – a lot has changed, and Jesus still hasn’t come back. Yet, we have the promise that the future is bright and full of God’s love, no matter the present. We have the understanding that hope springs forth from a God who fulfills promises.

The New City

Session 5.18 for May 5, 2013

In today's passage, we read John's final vision in the book of Revelation — and it is something else! John's vision of the new Holy City is so spectacular, that the only way he can describe it is to talk about precious stones, and pearls, and gold. As we read the text closely, we discover that what makes the place so magnificent is that that God is completely present to all that are there. God's presence is what brings about newness and beauty. Where is God present in your life today?

Session 5.17 for April 28, 2013

As we continue in our study of Revelation, the tone of John's visions seem to change. Where we had death and destruction, there is now a new heaven and a new earth. We are seeing the first glimpses of John's vision of heaven. How does our view of heaven affect the way we live today?

Hope In Diversity

Session 5.16 for April 21, 2013

This is the third week of our six-week study in the book of Revelation. Last week, we talked about hope and how we can know that God bring hope in the midst of an imperfect world. Today, we continue uncovering the hope that is found in Christ. We see that God’s hope and vision is not offered to a select group. God’s hope is not revealed only in the churches that look and feel like our own. Rather, it is present in the multitudes, even amongst those that are different from us.
