McCain...Obama...Antichrist


We are right smack dab in the middle of another presidential election. Last Saturday night, Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest, CA, moderated a forum in which Republican nominee, John McCain and Democratic nominee, Barak Obama, shared the same stage. The Democratic National Convention is just days away and the Republican Convention is right around the corner from that. In November, we as a country will elect one of these two men to the most powerful position in the world…the President of the United States. But the Bible teaches that there will one day come a political leader of all political leaders…a one man ruler of the world. His power and his charisma will be second to none. The Bible has many names for him including The Beast; The Man of Perdition; and The Antichrist.

September will be prophecy month here at Grace Church and each Sunday morning I will be preaching on Revelation 13 and what the Bible teaches about this coming one world ruler in a message series entitled, “Man of the Hour”! We will also be canceling all of our Adult Bible Fellowship Classes in September and instead offering several different digging deeper electives all dealing with prophecy including all of the following:

Biblical Prophecy and Christ taught by Pastor Tim – this study will look at the big story of Scripture to see how Biblical prophecy in both the Old and New Testaments all point to Christ and His coming. Part one of this elective will be held at both 9:00 and 10:45 on September 7 in Room 323 which is the Music Room. Part two of this elective will be held at 9:00 and 10:45 on September 14, also in the Music Room.

The Obsession Video facilitated by Pastor Willard – this video and discussion will look at how the religion of Islam hopes to usher in the kingdom through their religious beliefs. This elective will be offered at 10:45 on September 7 in the Fellowship Hall.
