Bruce Symes told a story about the ancient Mayans sacrifice rituals for the Communion Meditation at Sundays Colony Christian Church. The Mayans made sacrifices to their god of rain, Chaac. When the site was dredged up in 1904, they found sacrifices of gold, jade, and even human remains including children.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon on Life is Wild, God is Good.
At vacation bible school this week, theyll teach how life is unfair, scary, changes, sad and good. Back in the good old days (in the Garden of Eden), everything was perfect. After sin entered the world, it became a scary place. God told them that there would be hostility between Satan and Adam and Eve. The Egyptians also experienced true fear of God when God sent the plagues down on them when Pharoah wouldnt follow Gods demands.
