“Why Bad Things Happen To People” (Luke 13:1-9)
March 7, 2010 10:30 A.M.
Our natural tendency in life is to look at things with a sort of
Karma perspective. That is to say, “Whatever goes around, comes
around.” In some sense this is true, as the Bible does declare,
“That which you sow, you will reap.” But there is also a broader
sense in which this is not true. The truth is the whole world is
fallen and corruptible because of sin. Therefore bad things will
inevitably happen to us as we live in this fallen place. The good
news is that we are not bound to this life forever: there is a
way out. What is it? Pastor Jim Erickson brings us a
message from God’s Word entitled, “Why Bad Things Happen To People.”

THE RESCUE: God’s Story from Genesis to Revelation ~ “The Prophets” (Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12)
February 28, 2010 10:30 A.M.
Up until this point in our story we’ve found out that the One whom
God will send to rescue us will be a Prophet King. He will lead us into
all wisdom; He will place all evildoers under His feet. The people
heard this and waited with great anticipation for the day their
powerful leader would arrive. But now, in the Prophets, there is a
sudden turn, a different picture emerging of not just a Prophet King,
but a Suffering Servant. Could this be the same person? How could it be?
ALSO: Communion will be served.

LUKE: The Greatest Story Ever Told “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” (Luke 14:1-6)
January 17, 2010 10:30 A.M.
We have all gone to someone’s house for a meal. How many of us have
been tricked or deceived about the true meaning of the invitation?
Today, we will look at how Jesus was invited to a meal with the
Pharisees, who were setting a trap for Him. See how He counteracts that
trap and shows the Pharisees their true hypocrisy.

Few men throughout history have the reputation of King David. A
skilled fighter, military strategist, and a strong impressive King,
David was most certainly a gifted man. Yet, from the Bible’s
standpoint, what most made him great was not any of the skills listed
above; rather it was His faith in the Lord’s Promise. Indeed, the same
can be said for us. What does this faith look like? This morning,
Pastor Erick will continue in our series, “THE RESCUE: God’s Story from
Genesis to Revelation”, as we get to know more about King David.

King Saul seemed to have everything the world would want in a
king: tall, strong, handsome and wealthy. Yet, he failed. King
David, on the other hand, seemed to have the odds stacked against him.
Yet, he succeeded. Why? We again take up our series, “THE RESCUE:
God’s Story from Genesis to Revelation”, contrasting the story of two
kings.
