The midweek update from the Pioneer Memorial Church No Images? Click here VOLUME 4 ISSUE 45
Of Winners and LosersGuess what. Politics isn’t the only realm preoccupied with winners and losers. So is Scripture. As it turns out, on this morning after the midterm elections across the nation, my summer journey through the Apocalypse ended. Looking back now I must admit, Revelation really is all about winners and losers! Read more
Don't miss our Guest Preacher this Sabbath!Our preacher on Sabbath both services will be John Peckham, professor of Theology and Christian Philosophy at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary here. I have come to admire this bright, humble and gracious man, who as both consummate scholar and prolific writer
has blessed my own life and ministry. His Reader’s Choice best-seller, The Love of God: A Canonical Model (IVP 2015), is not only comprehensive and convincing—it will stir your soul. And just this week I received his newest book, Theodicy of Love: Cosmic Conflict and the Problem of Evil (Baker Academic 2018). I thank God for writers like John in our faith community who influence evangelical thought. His parents, Ernie and Karen Peckham (pastor for years in Indiana), are friends of mine. John and Brenda, his nurse wife, and son Joel, their 7-year-old pride and joy, are members of our Pioneer Family. May God bless us all this Sabbath!
Under the Roof: Capturing the Heart of PMCTake a moment and google “the art of making a tapestry”. You’ll find a really informative video explaining the history and process of this centuries-old art form. Interestingly, it is more than a beautiful display of colors and patterns; it intends to tell a story. The storyteller is the weaver who guides each strand through the skillful and patient work of crafting, line by line, an intelligent and inspiring snapshot of history. Question: if we step back for a moment to see the picture of the spiritual vitality at Pioneer Memorial Church, what would we see? Would a pattern emerge? Could you see the skill and intentionality of a Master Weaver? Read more
