He will preach more on this later in his sermon. Click the link above and fast-forward to the 45-minute mark to view the pictures. He also discusses the significance of the false god, Pan, who was generally represented as a vigorous and lustful figure having the horns, legs, and ears of a goat.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Loving our community doesn’t mean just doing good works.

What were the people thinking – wanting – looking for? What are YOU thinking – wanting – looking for?

Was Jesus what the people expected?

What is the only way to enter the Kingdom of God?

How can we make the Kingdom of God a reality to others?

What will the Kingdom of God be like? Pastor Jarrett says: “There will be no more pain and no more night and no more sorrow and no more sin… He will reign in his Kingdom. And all of his ways will be followed and his will be done on earth because it is Heaven!”
