Last year, from April 11 to November 7, 2010, I preached a series of sermons on Biblical Mountains. Join us in an exciting pilgrimage through redemptive history from the Garden of Eden in Genesis to Har-Magedon in Revelation, full of hills and valleys, rough and plain places, forests and deserts, blessings and afflictions.

God will nourish and preserve you in your pilgrimage through this wilderness of sin. He nourishes your souls when you read and hear the preaching of his Word and when you partake of the Lord’s Supper. These are your weapons against Satan’s raging flood of wicked lies and deceptions through false teachers and others who would destroy the church.

Last Sunday, in the mission church that meets at Mars Hill Study Center, I preached the first sermon in a series entitled “God and His People In the Wilderness.” This series is based on Numbers, the fourth book in the Old Testament. Join us as we journey with 15th century B. C. Israelites in their adventures – and misadventures – in the wilderness as they march to the Promised Land, even as we also make the pilgrimage to our heavenly city. We meet for worship services and catechism classes at Mars Hill every Sunday at 2:30 P.M.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on August 20, 2008 that about 25 students in a public high school in Calapan City, Mindoro province have suffered seizures and shortness of breath due to what the principal of the school has attributed to being “possessed by evil spirits.” …A mass was offered by a Catholic priest at the request of frightened students, and local shamans have sacrificed two black pigs to appease the angered spirits.
