In Part 1 of this 2-part sermon will explore some of the “background” on the identity of main characters in this story (the Dragon, the Child, and the Woman) and how this story unfolds as well as how it even incorporates us!
In these closing verses of Revelation 11 we encounter what really seems to be a heavenly hymn. If such a thing strikes us as out of sorts in the midst of God’s wrath being poured out, then that may very well be the point. Should our focus be on the wrath or on Him? I believe it should be on Him, and it seems John agrees.
Paul urges us, in light of God’s incredible mercy, to offer our whole selves as a living sacrifice. This, he says, is true worship. But what does it mean to be a living sacrifice?
In this Sermon we will take a deep dive into the identity of the famous “two witnesses” of Revelation 11 and expound on who and/or what these two witnesses represent.
This week we explore some questions related to the identity and purpose of the “little book”. What is this little book exactly, why did God feed it to him, and how is this even relevant for us today? John must “eat Revelation” in order to really digest what is contained within it. Then and only then can he take it and share it with others. The same holds true for us today. We must devour this book, all of it!
We see in this text that God’s wrath is sure and severe, but sometimes we often miss some details about His judgments that this Sermon will reveal today.
Today we look at three parables in Luke, the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son and how Jesus is the friend of sinners, and while we were still sinners Christ died for us. In the mission field around the world or in our local community we set out to seek and save the lost.
In this Sermon we will look at some new insight regarding how we are to conceive of and think about heaven. So much of the heavenly happenings thus far in the book of Revelation includes resounding praise and worship, but here we are introduced to some new elements and will focus on how we might learn from them.
In Part 2 of Revelation 7 we explore the beautiful benefits that come to those who bear the mark for the Living God. There are some clear blessings He provides to His marked slaves.
In Part One of this message, we will review background explanation of the text before getting into the meat and potatoes as we look at explaining the identity of the “people” numbered and described by John in this chapter as well as the identity of the “seal”.
