We reflected on Mark 4, and Jesus' suggestion that the kingdom of God is like a mustard seed that grows into a tree where the birds nest. In short, the Kingdom of God is a spicy mess. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/TNUZkSz1Dj79oJiQ

We reflected on the Genesis 3 creation story, and how we read the parable of Adam and Eve in our world today. You can see the service here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/5cAohEgG4smvqk4D

Wayne A reflected on the original meaning of apocalypse- a new understanding or vision- and what it means for us today. He reflected on the calling of Samuel, and Jesus teaching his disciples that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/YHaN7YenKZo343UN
