Transcript of reflection given at 'Healing our City - An Interfaith Service' on April 18, 2013 in Boston MA (Versión en español) As I prayed on what to share this morning, the reassuring words of the psalmist came to my mind: For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest

Sermon March 29, 2013: It is finished

Come with me to John chapter nineteen verse thirty, John 19:30. There's seven words, seven expressions, seven statements that Jesus made when He was in the cross that have been recorded in Scripture.

Crossing the Jordan, conquering Jericho: Where is God taking León de Judá - and what will it take to get there?

Only a people willing to pay the price to become a Generation of Radical Obedience will ever plumb the world-transforming depths of God’s Amazing Mercy and Love. This is the most “Amazing Thing” about our God. And it is enough to destroy Satan’s grip over the Land beyond the Jordan. It is a Land that God has destined for freedom, and as the footstool for His Glory. And it is where God, in His Mercy, is taking us. Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:5 AMAZING THINGS AHEAD - BUT ARE WE READY? Read More »
