Revelation 13:1-18 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads; and on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have received a death-blow, but its mortal wound had been healed. In amazement the whole earth followed the beast. They worshipped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, [...]

Revelation 6:1-8; 7:9-17 Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures call out, as with a voice of thunder, ‘Come!’ I looked, and there was a white horse! Its rider had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering and to conquer. When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature call out, ‘Come!’ And out came another horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another; and he was given a great sword. When he [...]

Revelation 5:1-13 Then I saw in the right hand of the one seated on the throne a scroll written on the inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals; and I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, ‘Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?’ And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. And I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep. [...]

Ooops, I was on vacation this week so we had a guest preacher, Jenny Carey, lead service. She decided not to tackle the Revelation text. Be sure to tune in next week to begin tackling this final sermon series on the book of Revelation. Pastor Sean

Ephesians 6:10-20 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth [...]

Ephesians 4:1-16 [Paul says,] I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. But each of us was given grace according to the measure [...]

Ephesians 2:11-22 So then, remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called ‘the uncircumcision’ by those who are called ‘the circumcision’—a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands— remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that [...]

Ephesians 1:1-14 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to [...]

I decided to celebrate the 4th of July with family. Thank you for leading worship, Pastor Doug Paulson! (no transcript)

Psalm 30 I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up,    and did not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,    and you have healed me. O Lord, you brought up my soul from Sheol,    restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit. Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones,    and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment;    his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night,    but joy comes with the morning. As for me, I said [...]

Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.    He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters;    he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths    for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley,    I fear no evil; for you are with me;    your rod and your staff—    they comfort me. You prepare a table before me    in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil;    my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me    all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the [...]

Psalm 13 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?    How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I bear pain in my soul,    and have sorrow in my heart all day long? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death, and my enemy will say, ‘I have prevailed’;    my foes will rejoice because I am shaken. But I trusted in your steadfast love;    my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord,    because he has [...]
