“The Day of Noah”

CHAIRMAN: CECIL MAR
SPEAKER: PASTOR IAIN DAVIS
SCRIPTURES: LUKE 17:22-37

SERMON NOTES:

• What can free us from our present world, where we are enslaved to sin, and worship false idols?

• The Kingdom is freedom from slavery, an order ruled by Christ, in which all of life is reorganized in light of Christ.

• It arrives through the suffering, and sacrifice of Jesus, but it is not totally here yet, it fully arrives with his return.
