Do you ever have a hard time explaining your positive Christian outlook to your non-Christian friends? Or to yourself even? In Paul's letter to the Romans we have seen how he announced to the Roman Christians that evil had been overcome by Jesus. And yet here we are nearly two thousand years later and darkness does not seem to have dissipated. The events of the last couple of weeks must surely make us stop and wonder where God is. And if we think about it, the events of the last couple of weeks do not really stand out; evil and suffering seem to be a constant presence in the world. How do we as Christians reconcile Paul's promise that the world has been restored with the reality of evil that surrounds us?
Join us this Sunday at 11AM as we squarely confront this issue of the presence of evil and suffering in the world in the light of the gospel. That's also where I'll tell you what the title of this post, "The 'Already' and the 'Not Yet'", means. ;-)
Don't forget we will have corporate prayer at 1015 in the second floor chapel where we can pray for our personal concerns and the needs of our congregation. All are welcome.
After service I will be meeting with the youth for pizza and fellowship. All of the youth are invited. I have new Student Bibles!
We are now on Facebook! Check out our new Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SDRockPresbyterianChurch. There are some pictures from VBS.
Hope to see you Sunday!
Pastor Keith
