(Revelation 9:1-12 & Ezekiel 3:3) Often when we think about the Book of Revelation images of destruction and vengeance are at the forefront of our minds. But is vengeance really God's way? Perhaps Revelation can help us figure out a way forward (The Book of the Revelation 4/6).

(Revelation 5:1-14 & Isaiah 6:6-8) The seven seals of Revelation unleash the four horsemen of the apocalypse! This terrible devastation comes from... Jesus? We try to make sense of this awesome power of Jesus and what it means for us in the Lamb and the Seven Seals (The Book of the Revelation 3/6).

(Revelation 1:9-20 & John 1:1-4) Ever feel like the world is out to get you? You might think its fate or destiny that things are going the way they are, but John has a different idea for us. As we begin a study on the Book of the Revelation to John we see a very different formula at work in the world (the Book of the Revelation to John 1/6).

(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 & 2 Corinthians 6:2) As we think about freedom and independence on the 4th of July weekend, at Grace we are reflecting on the previous year. We have highlights from messages throughout the year that remind us of what true freedom looks like and how we can fulfill our purpose and mission as an inclusive community passionately following Jesus Christ.

(Genesis 18:1-15 & Matthew 10:5-8) Ever get fed up trying to throw a great dinner party? Its easy to just bail on the whole idea altogether, but father Abraham, on this Father's Day, shows us a better way to be a great host.

(Genesis 12:1-9 & Matthew 9:10-13) On this 'children's Sunday' we look at the call of Abraham and his transition from a place of luxury to difficulties. Its not Abraham's sacrifice that God is really after, so see what really matters to God.

(Genesis 11:1-9 & Acts 2:1-4, 12-18) The confirmands are confessing their faith publicly as they are welcomed into the church. Their retreat and other parts of the journey showcase the promise of the Spirit. Now we'll see if there is anything at all that can stop it.

(John 7:37-39, John 20:19-23 & Psalm 104:27-30) We may not quite know what Memorial Day is really about, but Jesus points a way forward. These memorials don't really mean what we think they mean!

(Matthew 19:16-34 & Hosea 6:6) Richard Stearns was the president of Lenox, the tableware company, before he had a life-changing encounter. Learn how he went from a successful life to one of significance.

(John 16:16-24 & Exodus 20:12) Separation from a parent can be a tough moment for both children and adults, but Jesus reminds us that our pain can be like the birth of a child, and that changes everything.
