Grace Baptist Church » GBC http://www.gracebaptistsf.org Of Sioux Falls, South Dakota Wed, 14 Dec 2011 02:05:18 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Sermon: Revelation, Part 32 — Here is Wisdom http://www.gracebaptistsf.org/2011/sermon-revelation-part-32-here-is-wisdom http://www.gracebaptistsf.org/2011/sermon-revelation-part-32-here-is-wisdom#comments Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:02:23 +0000 GBC http://www.gracebaptistsf.org/?p=1132 Today we make our way into the part of Revelation where we consider the false prophet and the number of the beast for the first time.

As we are told in I John, we should try every spirit, every prophet–setting aside true spirits and prophets from those who will not confess who Jesus Christ is.

We have seen that the truth applies corporately (within the church) as well as individually. We wish therefore to sow good things.

One of the good things we ought to be sowing is seeking and finding God.

This week, we consider the principle of sowing and reaping in the light of how what we do as Christians had a direct influence on others within the church.

As Christians, we should understand this better than anyone else.

Our verse, Revelation 13:10, is generally applicable. We are told that this rabid, blasphemous beast will rule the world and persecute believers in a way which has never been seen before. However, by the strength of this truth–you will reap what you sow–Christians will be able to make it through.

Today we will be looking at more specific applications of this principle than we did last week.

Clearly, our scripture is to encourage us to know and to embrace the doctrine which is taught in Revelation 13:10.

This passage includes what is necessary for us to make it through whatever upcoming challenges we might face.

The idea of entering names in books was common for the Jews. They did so for the genealogies, to record citizenship (the town of one’s birth), and to record acts (histories of who did what).

Working off the text in Revelation 13, we will look at the following: What is my genealogy? What is my citizenship? What acts have I done?

The Old Testament book of Judges gives us several sad stories which are formed in precisely this fashion.

Today’s sermon, based in Revelation 13, follows the same pattern.

Today we will look at a single verse: verse 11, which speaks of those who overcame.

Those who overcame were regular people–of like passions and trials as we. Yet, the One who helps them to overcome is anything but regular or common. Victory is doable. Victory is the expected and achievable norm.

In this chapter we have several wondrous things–not the least of which the story of a dragon and the woman whose child he desires to slay.

Despite all of this, we need to first consider the theme or overall idea of this chapter: How can there be such a deep seated hatred or enmity between two parties?

In our world, we know of different groups which have historical enmities, but this is an enmity which precedes them all–and undergirds them all.

Today we look in detail at how each piece of the furnishings says something important about the one who will one day rule all the kingdoms of this world.
