Have you ever thought about how sometimes, there's more to the 'familiar' than we realize? For example, in Matthew 11:12, it says, "...the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it," according to the NIV translation. But what does 'violent' mean? Typically, the word 'violence' doesn't bring up any pleasent imagery, but what if it's more than people hurting people? As it turns out, Ghandi could be considered just as violent as a robotic Arnold Schwarzenegger; he did disrupt the caste system of India without throwing a single punch, after all! Pastor Jerry goes into this and more in this week's sermon.
