Turning Lemons into Lemonade!
We’re starting a new series of messages on the Book of Revelation. I love that book and everyone in society wants to talk about it; and that is great. Sometimes though, it can become defeatist - almost like some Christians are hoping that plagues, famines, earthquakes, storms, and persecution are going to hit everyone they don’t like.
In reality Revelation is a book for more than just the end times. It’s to be read throughout history right up to the end times. Anti-Christs' (yes, it’s sometimes used in the plural) have been around throughout history: Nero, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, etc., and yes, Elijah’s have appeared on the scene including John the Baptist, St. Francis, Martin Luther, John Wesley, Billy Sunday and Billy Graham.
There is a lot of good news in the Book of Revelation. This week’s message is Don’t Lose Your First Love, Ephesus - Turning Lemons into Lemonade. There will be a picnic right after worship. Included are a Lemonade Contest, Grilled Barbecue Chicken and Roasted Corn on the Cob. Please bring Potluck Side Dishes or Desserts to share. There will be a Lemon Toss Contest, Lemon Relays and a whole bunch of more fun lemon games.
Join us Sunday online (via You Tube, Facebook Live or Church Apps) or in person at 10:30 AM
Your friends for the rest of our lives,
