The 500-Year Flood and the Kingdom of Christ
June 18, 2008
It’s always a challenge to rightly relate natural disasters like the current flooding in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois to the larger themes of the Bible. Last Sunday Eric Schumacher, pastor of Northbrook Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, gave a fine sermon called The 500-Year Flood and the Kingdom of Christ. I commend it to you as a powerful example of how to preach the gospel with courage, compassion and wisdom.
