Destination of the Church

by Ka on September 30, 2008

As you are reading Revelation 2-3, do you discover a pattern of the letters to the seven churches?
If there is a pattern, what does it look like?
If the Church has a beginning at Pentecost, how does it end? What does the ending look like?
the discussion continues on Sunday Oct. 5 …

Finding rest…

by Lon on September 30, 2008

 
- If we want to be Jesus-oriented and counter-cultural, we can do so via the way we find rest and sabbath

Here’s a painting of our life group.
