A word of hope in a time of fear — this week at ELC

August 11, 2017 by john

Rev 4 8Too often the book of Revelation has been used to induce fear and suspicion, but if we read it carefully it is a story of  God who loves us, and come to live with us in all the ups and downs of life.

Worship this week:

Saturday – 5:00 p.m.  modified traditional worship in the chapel

Sunday – 8:30 a.m.  traditional worship

10:00 a.m. contemporary worship

Devotions for this week:

Joy & Hope Amid Sorrow                                        August 13, 2017

SHARE:   What was a high point of your day? What was a low point?

READ: Read the following daily readings to deepen your understanding

Sunday, Revelation 4:1-11, Joy and Hope Amid Sorrow

Monday, Revelation 1:1-8, Introduction

Tuesday, Revelation 1:9-20, A Vision of Christ

Wednesday, Revelation 2:1-11, Message to Ephesus, Smyrna

Thursday, Revelation 2:12-29, Message to Pergamum, Thyatira

Friday, Revelation 3:1-13, Message to Sardis, Philadelphia

Saturday, Revelation 3:14-22, Message to Laodicea

TALK:  Consider some of these ideas:

And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing, “Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come.” (Revelation 4:8)

 The writer of Revelation so well cloaked his letter to the early Christians in bizarre imagery, it seems he was destined to be misunderstood. But the message is clear: God’s power transcends everything; there is nothing to fear.

  • Tell of a time you felt sorrow or grief. Describe a light you found, even in the midst of your darkness.
  • Wonder: If this story in Revelation was made into a movie, who would play the roles? What might the characters look like? The sets?

 PRAY:  Heavenly Creator, we live in a world of increasing confusion and mixed messages. Show us clearly the path that you have set, the way that leads to you alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 BLESS:  May God bring joy and hope amid sorrow. Amen.
