Revelation:
1. Revelation 4-6: "Your Prayers Matter to God"2. Revelation 13 The devil's helpers: false government & false religion
3. Revelation 17-22: "Just and True are your Judgments O God!"
Ascension, Pentecost and Trinity Sunday: May 2013
1. Luke's Account of the Ascension.I look at Luke's account - what it meant to the disciples & what it means for us
2. Pentecost another of God's incredible gifts!
3. Trinity Sunday
It is mind blowing: we are given this tiny glimpse of God's being - one God yet Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Even that glimpse is beyond what our minds can grasp. Why would we expect it to be otherwise?
Colossians:
1. Colossians 1;1-14 Love as a mark of a faithful church
2. Colossians 1:15-29 Christ is Lord of all the earth - by creating us and again by redeeming us
3. Colossians 2 _ Thinking there is more to religion than can be found in Christ Jesus is like a person dying of thirst in the desert walking past a water pump because they read there were oases in deserts.
4. Colossians 3:1-11 preached 4/Aug/2013. Humanly invented religion can't change us - but a better understanding of the resurrection of Jesus can.
Hebrews:
1. Hebrews 11 (part 1) what it means to live as people of faith in the footsteps of heroes like Abraham, Sarah, Joseph and Moses
2,Hebrews 11 Pt.2. Faith - we CAN do it! It does not mean we don't have doubts and fears - it means we keep hanging in there despite them!
3. Hebrews 12: 18 - 29. This is a great text, we have all the more reason to trust God than the ancients did - the flip side is that we have all the less excuse if we don't! (Also includes a digression to what it means for us that God chose to frame the Ten Commandments to echo a Hittite suzerainty treaty.
