Enjoy! “Symbolism has been lost in our culture today…” -Pastor Peter “Jesus speaks in symbols.” -Pastor Peter “God is too high, too complex, too amazing for us to understand.” -Pastor Peter “If the kingdom of heaven could be put into words, God wouldn’t use symbols.” -Pastor Peter “We have to resist the urge to reduce it all down.” -Pastor Peter “Symbols can reveal reality to those who are ready to listen.” -Pastor Peter Hebrews 9: 9-10, Joel 2:28, 1 Corinthians 2, Psalm 78:2-4, Genesis 6:5, 2 Timothy, Hebrews 5:13-14, Hebrews 1:1-4
