Sermon: Revelation, Part 22 — The Greatest Regime Switch of All Time
Over the last several thousand years, we have seen nations come and go. The Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the French, the Germans, the Russians, etc. Regime change is relatively common in the history of the human race. However, we are anticipating a switch in regimes greater than has ever been seen before. We are [...]
Sermon: We Need Exercise
It is all well and good for us to sit around and talk about walking, or swimming or playing sports or doing this or that. Unless and until we actually do these things, we derive no benefit from them. So it is with spiritual exercise. Unless we actually memorize scripture and meditate on it, then [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 21 — Faithful Witnesses in Evil Times
With the last two witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11, we have the summation of witnessing themes seen throughout the Bible. Whether these witnesses are particular people brought back (Enoch and Elijah for example) or people yet to be born is not nearly as important as the role which these two men play at the beginning [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 20 — Here Comes The End
This earth as we know it will not continue forever. Surely this is one of the better-known lessons of Revelation. Yet so many do not seem to consider that the future will be any different than the past. Today’s sermon looks at the good (and not so good) things which will end when time itself [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 19 — Sweet/Bitter News
We sometimes talk about things as being bittersweet. In the passage for today’s sermon, John has first hand experience with a book which is both sweet and bitter. As for the sweet in the mouth/bitter in the belly analogy, the idea is obvious. It is sweet to handle the Word of God, sweet to agree [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 18 — Write Them Not, or The Value of Unutterable Things
Should everything be said? John, in the passage covered by today’s sermon, is told something and then told to not repeat it. Therefore, there must be times and reasons for not saying, for not uttering certain things. Today’s sermon details ten reasons that unutterable things are better left unsaid. Full audio and video of the [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 17 — They Repented Not!
Repentance: It’s a change of heart and mind from allegiance to the things of the world to the things of God shown to be authentic by a change in behavior. In true repentance a sinner’s mind, purposes, opinions, and inclinations, are changed; and in consequence, there is a marked permanent change in his conduct. But [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 16 — Five Months of Torment
In today’s sermon, we consider several things about moral evil: It can be exposed. It is not measurable. It consumes. It darkens. How then should we act and what should we do as a result? Full audio and video of the sermon are as follows:
Sermon: Revelation, Part 15 — Themes in Revelation 8
Revelation 8 is a rich chapter. Of particular interest in today’s sermons are the themes which are found in it. We are reminded of the mystery–that while we are told much, much is left unsaid and unexplained for now. We are shown the absolute majesty of the Creator and Sustainer of Life. Despite all that [...]
Sermon: Revelation, Part 14 — Salvation!
Wrath, as we looked at last week, is a certainty. There is something else which is also a certainty: salvation. One without the other would be unbearable. Thank God we don’t stop at wrath. Full audio and video of the sermon are as follows:
