  • Witness Protection Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 26, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,959 views

    The temple that John is measuring is the church of Jesus Christ, and both it and its voice, the witnesses, will complete their mission.

    This is the hardest chapter in the entire book of Revelation to interpret. At least that’s what all my commentators say. And that’s about the only thing they can all agree on. So I hope I don’t leave you all more confused than you were before we began. The first thing to ...read more

  • The Final Act Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 27, 2011
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,413 views

    It seems like a long intermission between the Acts of the Apostles and the final act in God’s great drama of salvation. But we are the actors, not the audience, and we had better start learning our lines.

    An old Spanish proverb says “We count the faults of those who keep us waiting.” Have you ever done that? Sat there at the restaurant or stood there at the theater or paced at the airport and rehearsed all the things you were going to say when the culprit finally showed up? It’s not just the ...read more

  • The Last Trumpet Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 27, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,085 views

    The last trumpet signals the beginning of the judgment of the world, the flip side of the redemption purchased on the cross.

    Trumpets grab your attention, don’t they. When we can talk Elaine into warming up her lips and accompanying the choir on her trumpet, you can practically feel the temperature rise here in the sanctuary. And the suspense has been mounting steadily since the first seal was opened. The ...read more

  • Battlefield Images Series

     | 3,993 views

    The heavenly battle ranges even as we wander in the wilderness; which is a journey, not a retreat; the movement is always forward into the promise.

    Can you believe it? I’m getting tired of the news. It’s so depressing. And for a news junkie like me, that’s saying a lot. Between the Middle East and the Congo and Iraq and North Korea we hardly have time to notice the murders in the Sudan and the economic chaos in South ...read more

  • Fatal Attraction Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 27, 2011
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,448 views

    Evil is so seductive, so easy, so clothed in plausible promises of free lunches and quick fixes, that if we are not vigilant we will find ourselves in slavery to the enemy of God.

    Monsters coming up from the deep have a long and colorful history. From Leviathan to the Loch Ness Monster, from the giant squid in 10,000 Leagues under the sea to the “here be monsters” with which mapmakers once marked the limits of the unknown, the sea has been the source of fear for ...read more

  • Who Goes There? Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 28, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,296 views

    Who are the redeemed? How can you tell? Are you or aren't you?

    The last time we saw the 144,000 was on Palm Sunday. We were looking at God’s promises to bring all the tribes of Israel back from all the lands to which they had been exiled, all but Dan, that is, who had chosen not to take God up on his promises and had instead struck out for easier ...read more

  • The Other Cup Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,883 views

    Which cup have you chosen to drink from? The love of God, poured out in Jesus Christ, is complete, unlimited and unmixed; the wrath of God is simply what’s left over when his love is refused.

    One of the things that still divides our denomination is the matter of “inclusive language.” It’s a difference that lines up pretty much the same way as all the other hot-button issues, with theological liberals on one side and theological conservatives on the other. But there ...read more

  • Mopping Up Operation Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 29, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,348 views

    People have to be clean before entering the presence of God, and only Jesus can do the job.

    This is taking forever, isn’t it... preaching through the book of Revelation. It doesn’t have the familiar comfort of the gospel stories, or the practical theology of Paul’s letters, or the colorful stories of the Old Testament heroes. It’s just one clashing, disturbing ...read more

  • High Ground Or Harm's Way Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 29, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,883 views

    The process of remaking creation is dangerous; Jesus is the high ground who leads us out of harm;s way.

    The last time we opened the book of Revelation we saw the angels with their sleeves rolled up, rubber gloves and waders on, and pails full of ammonia and Clorox, finally ready to disinfect creation before the Holy One takes up permanent residence on site. “Then one of the four living ...read more

  • Sour Grapes Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 1, 2011
     | 4,850 views

    God planted Israel - both the old and the new - to bear fruit. At harvest time, only the good fruit will be kept.

    This passage is another tough one, dealing with wrath and judgment and punishment. And as you know scaring people into the kingdom is not my favorite style, although it may very well be that fear is a better motivator for some people than it is for me. But in our day and age, it’s more ...read more

  • Old Faithless Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 1, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,879 views

    Eternal life is for those who live faithfully before God, believing in his promises and living by his standards, even when the pressures to conform to our culture are nearly overwhelming.

    Has it ever occurred to you that the Bible probably ought to be rated “R”? It’s definitely not G, and parental guidance is certainly needed. I don’t think it rates an X, even though there’s an awful lot of violence, especially in the OT, and even some sexually ...read more

  • What Goes Around Series

    The power promised by Satan never lasts. Satan betrays even his most dedicated followers.

    How many of you like jigsaw puzzles? I love them... even though I haven’t put one together in years. I don’t dare. They’re addictive, and I already have too many bad habits. But those of you who indulge - how do you start? Do you do all the edge pieces first, or do you sort ...read more

  • The Brink Of Disaster Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 2, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,439 views

    Is it time to flee from the coming destruction? Or should we continue to witness and work for the kingdom?

    "Repent! Repent! For the end of the world is near!" How many of you have heard a sermon on this subject? How many of you have heard a joke on this subject? Every faith tradition has a different way of looking at end-times prophecy. Some ignore it. Some codify it. Some rationalize it. Some obsess ...read more

  • The Victory Feast: Saints R Us Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 2, 2011
     | 3,194 views

    Our faithfulness carried out in our service to Jesus Christ as we love and serve one another is the perfect complement to the victory of our Lord, and it is as beautiful to him as his victory is to us.

    A few years ago when I was back in Minnesota visiting my god-children, who as many of you know are Episcopal , I was enchanted to be awakened one Sunday morning by the sound of three angelic voices marching through the house singing “This is the feast of victory for our God!” I think ...read more

  • And The Winner Is . . . Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 2, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,092 views

    The church in America may be struggling - but the Church of Jesus Christ is doing just fine, thank you. The worse things look, the more likely it is that God is about to do something amazing.

    Ray Bakke, the Executive Director of International Urban Associates, tells a great story from World War II. An American named MacDonald and a Scottish chaplain bailed out behind German lines, were captured and put into a prison camp, with MacDonald in the American barracks and the chaplain with ...read more
