Before and After: God and Country
Reading: Romans 13:1-7; Revelation 19:11-21
Our fifth sermon in the Before and After series tries to strike a delicate balance on the issues relating to God and country. Lots of important issues get impacted by our view of this relationship, and unfortunately few of them are easy to navigate...

Commandos, Spies, and Secret Missions
Reading: Matthew 16:13-20; Revelation 12:1-9
For our last concentrated look at the kingdom of God in our far less than comprehensive series on the subject, we focused on some of Jesus' words that have caused a few Christians to get their knickers in knots over the years. How you interpret Jesus entrusting the keys of the kingdom to Peter can make a pretty big impact on what you think of the pope, but in any case we have to accept that Jesus expects the church to do a lot of damage to the gates of hell.

Little Kingdoms
Reading: Ezekiel 31:1-14; Luke 13:18-21
There are certain representative sayings of Jesus that especially help illustrate different aspects of the kingdom of God. This week we looked at Jesus' famous saying that the kingdom is "like a mustard seed."

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.
"Factory Settings"
