Two Sermons: "Factory Settings" and "Thoughts from the Playground"

Sorry about not posting a sermon last week; Vacation Bible School kept things pretty busy around here. The following sermons are the first in our extended look at the Kingdom of God. The first one looks at things from a broader perspective, focusing on how God takes the time to effectively hit the reset button on creation, and the Kingdom is simply a continuation of that theme. Second is a look at Jesus' teaching on how the Kingdom is of/for/belongs to people such as children.
