Sermon: Revelation, Part 32 — Here is Wisdom
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. [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 31 — How to Seek and Find God!
We have seen that the doctrine of reaping what we sow can be a comfort. 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. Full audio and [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 30 — The Church Reaps What You Sow
Over the last couple of weeks, we have looked at the principle of sowing and reaping–that is, that people receive the judgments, both good and evil, of their actions. 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 [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 29 — We Reap What We Sow, Encore
We live in a time when judgment, when reaping what we sow, is poorly understood. 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 [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 28 — We Reap What We Sow
We have just been told (in the scripture which comes just what we look at today) that a vile beast will come and take over the world. 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 [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 27 — Is Your Name Written There?
Today we look at the topic of having one’s name written in the book. 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 [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 26 — Signs of a Failed Race
One technique in scripture is to present a person/group/culture which has reached rock bottom and then to have a singular comment at the end which sums it up. 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 [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 25 — And They Overcame Him
Last week, we looked at a theme for Chapter 12 of Revelation. 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 [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 24 — Enmity Against God
Today’s message comes from Revelation 12. 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 [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 23 — The Temple
Since the time of the Old Testament Tabernacle and through that period when the Tabernacle had been replaced by the Temple in Jerusalem, the very placement and fixtures of these structures have pointed toward, have been types of, Christ in His many attributes as Savior. Today we look in detail at how each piece of [...]
