Series: Revelation: The Best is Yet to ComeTitle: “Reverse the Curse: What is the New Eden?”Scripture: Revelation 22:1-9(Commentary helps listed at the end)Need: Believe that God's word is “trustworthy and true” enough to follow fully and faithfully.Bottom line: We reverse the curse in our own lives when we believe the word of God in word and action.INTRODUCTIONOpening story: Curse of the BambinoThe Curse of the Bambino was a superstitious sports curse in Major League Baseball(MLB) derived from the 86-year championship drought of the Boston Red Sox from 1918 to 2004. The superstition was named after Babe Ruth, colloquially known as "The Bambino", who played for the Red Sox until he was sold to the New York Yankees in 1920.[1] While some fans took the curse seriously, most used the expression in a tongue-in-cheekmanner.[2]Babe Ruth as a member of the 1918 Boston Red Sox, the final season before the drought.External imagesPicture of the graffitied "reverse curve" road signRemoval of the sign (then re-graffitied to read "reversed the curse") by a crew including Governor Mitt Romney, following Boston's 2004 World Series victory.Prior to the drought, the Red Sox had been one of the most successful professional baseball franchises. They won five of the first fifteen World Series titles, including the first in 1903, more than any other MLB team at the time.[3]During this period, Ruth was a core contributor to the Red Sox's three championships in 1915, 1916, and 1918. Following the sale of Ruth, however, the once lackluster Yankees became one of the most dominant professional sports franchises in North America and set the record for World Series titles by more than twice the amount of any other MLB team.[4] The curse became a focal point of the Yankees–Red Sox rivalry over the years.Talk of the curse as an ongoing phenomenon ended when the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series.[5] The Red Sox's championship was prefaced by them overcoming a 0–3 deficit against the Yankees in the American League Championship Series (ALCS), the first and, to date, only time an MLB team won a best-of-seven playoff series after losing the first three games.The curse had been such a part of Boston culture that when a "reverse curve" road sign on Longfellow Bridgeover the city's busy Storrow Drive was graffitied to read "Reverse The Curse,"[6] officials left it in place until the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series. After the World Series that year, the road sign was edited to read "Reversed Curse" in celebration.[6]Read Genesis 3:1-19; Revelation 22:1-9CONTEXTWe have seen:Jesus and his churches (1-3)The throne and judgments of God (6-16)The whore, the King, and his bride (17-22)It's also noteworthy that these last 2 chapters of Revelation and of the Bible occur when sin has been abolished from the universe. No more sin, shame, guilt, death—it's all history.Bottom line: We reverse the curse in our own lives when we believe the word of God in word and action.OUTLINEI. Description of the New EdenA. We will be nourished by God. (1-2)Water of lifeTree of lifeLeaves of healingB. We will worship our God. (3)Curse is reversedThrone of GodAppropriate response is worship/service (Latreuo) Ex.

(8-9)John's signatureJohn's overwhelmed response is and isn't appropriate (faith vs feelings—-> discipline)We're servants who worship and we're worshippers who serveWhen we take a good thing and turn it into a god-thing, we sin and commit idolatryIII.

For example, George Halas of the Chicago Bears also played major league baseball with the New York Yankees. There is, of course, an old tale that Babe Ruth replaced him in right field for the Yankees! Not true, but it is an interesting concept. Then there was Paddy Driscoll who played football with the Chicago Cardinals and was the highest-paid player in the NFL in 1920, earning $300 per game when most individuals were paid $25 to $50 per outing. Driscoll, although standing just 5-7, also played pro basketball and was once a member of the Chicago Cubs baseball team......

Podcast Introduction Our reading today is Romans 7-8. Two of my favorite chapters in the entire Bible. I'll share some comments, and we'll do our “On This Day In Church History” segment. Thoughts on Romans 7 and 8  Do you like baseball? I love baseball. Probably because my grandpa loved it. I remember sitting on my grandpa's lap as he sat in his recliner, watching the Dodgers shortly after they moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Of course, I was too young to know that they were new to LA, and to me the Dodgers had always been here. Grandma and Grandpa lived just a little over 15 miles from the LA Coliseum, where the Dodgers played before Dodger Stadium was built, and the Dodgers were the home team. So my grandpa loved the Dodgers, and I loved my Grandpa, so I loved the Dodgers, and baseball. Why am I talking about baseball? Because Major League Baseball has a Hall of Fame. In that Hall of Fame are some of the best players the game has ever known. Players who exemplified excellence.  If there were a Hall of Fame of the best chapters in the Bible, I would most certainly nominate Romans 8, with runner up being chapter 7. Chapter 8 is Sandy Koufax, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Lou Gehrig all rolled into one. And more. Let me explain. In chapter seven, Paul talks about how the Law pointed out sin to us. It made us aware of sin. Then he showed us that we are slaves to sin. He said, “I want to do what is right but I do not do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate.” Does that sound familiar? If you are a believer, you know it does. If you are not a believer, then maybe it sounds foreign to you. But believers are intimately aware of the struggle between the desires of the flesh and the promptings of the Holy Spirit and the teaching of the Word of God. We know the feeling of despair when we fail. Paul ended chapter 7 with these words: “There is no happiness in me! Who can set me free from my sinful old self? 25 God's Law has power over my mind, but sin still has power over my sinful old self. I thank God I can be free through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Yes! Yes! A thousand times Yes! I thank God I can be free through Jesus Christ our Lord!  Listen again to Paul's opening words in chapter 8: “Now, because of this, those who belong to Christ will not suffer the punishment of sin. 2 The power of the Holy Spirit has made me free from the power of sin and death. This power is mine because I belong to Christ Jesus.” Home Run! Outta the park! “those who belong to Christ will not suffer the punishment of sin”. Them's shoutin' words, Family! Now as long as we're in this Hall of Fame chapter, let me repeat for you some of the best, most encouraging verses ever written: He gave Himself to take away sin. By doing that, He took away the power sin had over us. Home Run! if the Holy Spirit is the boss over your mind, it leads to life and peace. Home Run!  All those who are led by the Holy Spirit are sons of God. 15 You should not act like people who are owned by someone. They are always afraid. Instead, the Holy Spirit makes us His sons, and we can call to Him, “My Father.” Home Run! If we are children of God, we will receive everything He has promised us. We will share with Christ all the things God has given to Him. But we must share His suffering if we are to share His shining-greatness. Home Run! the Holy Spirit helps us where we are weak. We do not know how to pray or what we should pray for, but the Holy Spirit prays to God for us with sounds that cannot be put into words. 27 God knows the hearts of men. He knows what the Holy Spirit is thinking. The Holy Spirit prays for those who belong to Christ the way God wants Him to pray. Home Run! We know that God makes all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are chosen to be a part of His plan. Home Run! Since God is for us, who can be against us?  Home Run! God did not keep His own Son for Himself but ga...

The Nats late rally came up short in Cincinnati as they lost 8-7 in 11 innings. Mark & Al wonder why the Nationals so often can score late in the game, but then can't bring in a run in extras. The 9th inning comeback involved three runs scored; all coming with two outs.(9:18) Keibert Ruiz hit his first homer with Washington and had three hits overall on the evening.  Ruiz is hitting .315 this month. (11:47) Juan Soto did not get any hits, but was walked four times on Friday.  Hear Mark put in perspective at how he is keeping historical company along with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.(17:07) Paolo Espino had a so-so start and only recorded two strikeouts.  He needs eight Ks next week in Colorado if he wants to achieve his stated goal of 100 strikeouts this season.(26:32) Carter Kieboom was not in the lineup and will get a MRI Saturday for a left forearm issue.  Jordy Mercer got the start in his place at third base.

A goat killed a grizzly bear, so why is everyone on the bear's side? We learn about Cape Cod and the North End and what its like to live in both. Was it a bigger mistake to let Babe Ruth or Tom Brady leave Boston? Nicole RItchie is on fire, literally. We look at things you shouldn't do after 40, play "Drunk or Kid" and meet a cat that came home after 12 years. Is a girl who hit two people with her car in two days something more than just a bad driver? And is it weird for a man to take a bath with his three year old daughter?

The list of individual players who changed the game of baseball is a very short one. But 102 years ago this week, one of them did something previously thought impossible. When Babe Ruth hit his 28th home run, he ushered in a whole new era of power hitting and changed the course of both the rest of his life and of baseball history. Mike and Bill look back at the early part of the Babe's life, from the streets of Baltimore to the ballpark in Boston, and his first step toward immortality. Plus, happy birthday to Greg Hibbard and Ira Flagstaff!

The Baseball 100, Joe Posnanski's new book, tells the sport's history through its greatest players. Posnanski, a former longtime KC Star sports columnist, joined Royals beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian Tuesday to discuss his book, a sort of dress rehearsal for his appearance with baseball author and historian Bill James on Sept. 29 at Unity Temple on the Plaza. Posnanski talked about the book's inspiration and how he reached some of his conclusions, including not listing Babe Ruth as the game's greatest player ever. We also talked about the Royals and catcher Salvador Perez, whose season grows more amazing with every home run.

In the summer of 1932, with the Cubs in the thick of the pennant race, Billy Jurges broke off his relationship with Violet Popovich to focus on baseball. The famously beautiful showgirl took it poorly, marching into his hotel room with a revolver in her purse. Both were wounded in the ensuing struggle, but Jurges refused to press charges. Even without their star shortstop, Chicago made it to the World Series, only to be on the wrong end of Babe Ruth's legendary Called Shot. Using hundreds of original sources, Jack Bales profiles the lives of the ill-fated couple and traces the ripple effects of the shooting on the Cubs' tumultuous season.HOST:  Rob MellonFEATURED BREW:  Perseverance Anniversary Ale, Greenstar Brewery, Chicago, IllinoisBOOK:  The Chicago Cub Shot For Love: A Showgirl's Crime of Passion and the 1932 World Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Cub-Shot-Love-Showgirls/dp/1467148482/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=MUSIC:  Bones Fork
