  • Countdown To War Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 25, 2011
     | 4,202 views

    The four horsemen - war, slaughter, famine, death and pestilence - have accompanied humanity since the dawn of time; they remind us of our sin, and God's judgment, and his ultimate control over all of history.

    When I mapped out this year’s preaching schedule I did not - repeat NOT - know that war with Iraq would begin the week the seals on the scroll detailing the fate of the world would be opened and the four horsemen let loose. And I’m not egotistical enough to think that God arranged the ...read more

  • Family Reunion Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 25, 2011
    based on 7 ratings
     | 24,597 views

    The ultimate Christian family reunion is about the future even more than it is about the past.

    How many of you have ever been to a family reunion? What was it for? Was it someone’s 50th anniversary, or 80th birthday, or a regular event - every few years or so, to keep in touch? One of the things I really love about living here is how close together the families are. For most of ...read more

  • The Ultimate Melting Pot Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 25, 2011
     | 4,844 views

    That crowd gathered around the throne is made up of African saints drumming and dancing, Lutherans singing Bach and Handel, medieval monks chanting plainsong, Latin American Pentecostals with shouts of triumph, messianic Jews dancing the hora, Southern Ba

    There’s been some great stuff in the news over the last couple of weeks... We’ve seen our POW’s coming home and being greeted with almost hysterical adulation... many of our troops are on the way home as well. The bloodbath that many feared didn’t happen, and much though we ...read more

  • Acts Of God Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 25, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,009 views

    Natural disasters may be natural, but they are also acts of God, and if they don't remind us of his power and alert us to his coming judgment they should.

    The scroll with seven seals that Jesus was handed in chapter 5 is now open. The first four seals loosed the four horsemen of the apocalypse: war, violence, famine, and death. The fifth seal let the prayers of the saints loose upon the world. Who would have thought that the prayers of the saints ...read more

  • A Kingdom Of Priests Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 25, 2011
     | 6,105 views

    What has Christ done for us, and what responsibilities do we now bear? This is the subject of our study.

    “John to the seven churches that are in Asia: “Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. “To him who loves us ...read more

  • The Best Offense Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 26, 2011
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,577 views

    As terrifying as the monsters are that beset the faithful, God has given us an impregnable defense.

    Are any of you wondering how on earth I am going to get from an army of invading locusts to Mother’s Day? I asked a colleague that question while I was up in NY last week at a conference on domestic violence, and she said, “That’s easy. It’s when your teenage boys bring ...read more

  • Witness Protection Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 26, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,958 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
     | 4,405 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
     | 6,083 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

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 27, 2011
     | 3,990 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
     | 3,446 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
     | 3,292 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

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 28, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,875 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
     | 4,877 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
