Jesus' death and resurrection are the template for our lives, a rhythm of dying and rising with Christ, where we lose our lives to find them, surrender to be free, and repent to rejoice. [... more]

The book of Revelation describes God's judgment on the sin of the world through the upheavals in nature, with the seven trumpets signifying God's holy war in history against his enemies who have oppressed his church.
