SermonPsalm 87June 8, 2025

After talking to Kevin in the Dave's pod, the boys head down to Brazil.

The Bible begins in a garden but ends in a city—a recurring theme that highlights how cities, and the people within them, matter deeply to God. The City of God, in contrast to cities that have strayed from the Creator's design, offers eternal presence, rest, and welcome. There is a future hope where suffering, distance, and division are no more. But that hope isn't reserved only for the afterlife; it is a present reality that shapes how we live, endure, and love today—because God's presence dwells within us and among our cities. When we place our hope in Christ, we are reassured by His Spirit, spurred to victory through merciful rest, and welcomed by the radical grace that defines the City of God, where His promises endure and persist as our lasting hope. --- Scripture: Revelation 21:9-22:5 (NRSVUE) Vision of the New Jerusalem 9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And in the spirit[a] he carried me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It has the glory of God and a radiance like a very rare jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It has a great, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates are inscribed the names that are the names[b] of the twelve tribes of the Israelites: 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel[c] who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16 The city has four equal sides, its length the same as its width, and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits by human measurement, which the angel was using. 18 The wall is built of jasper, while the city is pure gold, clear as glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each of the gates is a single pearl, and the street of the city is pure gold, transparent as glass. 22 I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 Its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. 26 People will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. The River of Life 22 Then the angel[d] showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life[e] with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him; 4 they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.  

Things continue to unravel on Vintage Cinema Rewind's Deep Dive of City of God. As the streets run red with blood, powerful forces continue to conspire against each other. In one corner, we've got Li'l Dice: the city's most sadistic criminal. In the other corner we've got Knockout Ned: a reluctant crime lord. And somewhere between the two stands Rocket, armed only with his camera. Can the city survive this tumultuous gang war? Or are we all just chickens fleeing the knife?

May 21, 2025 Daily Devotion from Lutheran Hour Ministries

On this week's Vintage Cinema Rewind, Blake and Michael take a trip to the City of God: where divinity is in short supply. They meet all sorts of characters, including Rocket, a studious child with dreams of a better life, Li'l Zé, a young man with a precocious appetite for blood, and Benny, who is too kind and too charismatic for his particular line of work. Join them as they sit back and watch as all these different stories and lives unfurl around them. Can these characters escape their bleak and oppressive lives? Or will the beast finally devour them?    Opening Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QujbbyEUXjo

As we gear up for our 25th Annual Conference, we wanted to give you a taste of the kind of preaching you'll enjoy if you join us on April 25th and 26th. In this message from the 2016 Conference, Steve Gallagher describes three primary qualities that every true citizen of God's kingdom possesses, and urges us to make sure that we can say we have these qualities.    **Get all the details about our Annual Conference at conference.purelifeministries.org**

Look for glimpses of God’s city breaking into the world around you.

It's easy to think of God's law as an arbitrary set of rules we must obey to get God to love us. But this passage shows us it's actually a picture of what it looks like to live inside the story of what God is already doing in our lives and the world.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”This is a supplement and interim update: How to face the overwhelming moral complexities of our time. Join Jack and navigate this challenging landscape, drawing inspiration from the prophecy of the "last great battle" over marriage and family as articulated by Sister Lucia of Fatima.

This battle, primarily fought through the power of prayer, the sacraments, and aligning with Jesus' teachings, we aim to build the "City Of God" and inspire you to pursue righteousness and eternal life. Amidst a backdrop of corruption and crumbling societal values, we examine the middle class and the working poor's struggle in a culture dominated by the lies and distortions of powerful entities. Figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump are highlighted for their roles in challenging government overreach and the deep state, amid concerns about excessive taxation, government spending, and failing public education. Moving to the next step in your "Spiritual Formation" the meditative practice of Lectio Divina, and developing a deeper relationship with scripture, and the building of a supportive faith community.

On this episode of The Film Situation, we sit down with gaffer-turned-DP Tom Chaves to discuss his 15-year journey in the industry, the challenges of transitioning from lighting to camera, and the harsh realities of being pigeonholed in the film business. Tom shares insights on AI's growing impact on cinematography, the evolving landscape of indie filmmaking, and his own experiences working on everything from music videos to micro-budget features to high-end commercial gigs. We also dive into his deep love for cinema and discuss scenes from the Brazilian film CITY OF GOD and Tony Kaye's AMERICAN HISTORY X. Hosted by Zef Cota

When you embrace God by faith two things come into your life: a transforming power and a deep tension. It's a duality. If you try to resolve the deep tension, you lose the transforming power.  The writer of Hebrews says the great believers in history were resident aliens on earth. In Greco-Roman society, a resident alien was a permanent resident but not a citizen. That is the tension that anyone who wants the transforming power of God must live with. If we want to understand the message, we need to see four things we learn in this passage: 1) there are two cities, 2) each city has a conflict with the other, 3) only one city is for the other, and 4) how to become citizens of the one city that's for the other. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 1, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 11:13-16; 13:10-16. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

Embrace him like a brother. And then slam his head against the wall.“ – Al Capone Notes & References: Chicken cam was apparently a camera […] The post Ep 306: “City of God” appeared first on The Pestle.

This sermon examines 2 Samuel 5 in its historical context, showing how David's conquest of Jerusalem points to God's work in reclaiming the "city of man" and establishing the "city of God," ultimately fulfilled in Christ's redemptive work and eternal kingdom.
