Revelation 7:1-14 The Protection of God's People

Revelation 7 shows that the wrath of the Lamb will be poured out on those who dwell on the earth, not upon Jesus’ own beloved people. John is shown two groups that will stand despite the intense judgments to come and contrary to the unbelievers’ outcry (6:17): the 144K Israelites and the raptured Gentile church of God. This sermon is part one of two sermons on Revelation 7 on the important topic of the rapture and its implications.

Micah 5:2-4 The Messianic Message of Micah

Micah prophesied of the Messiah that He is the LORD God and that He is the shepherd over His people. This is the true message of Christmas that woos us to worship Christ, to love, honor, and serve Him. May we ponder deeply the wonder of Christmas, that the LORD, the eternal God, came from heaven in human flesh, born in Bethlehem, born of a woman, in the person of Jesus, to seek and save that which was lost and to shepherd all His elect who repent and trust in Him, to guide them away from sin and in the pathway of sanctification all the way home to glory.

Psalm 37 - God: Your only refuge!

Psalm 37 is a Psalm written by Israel’s greatest king, king David. It reveals only two possibilities for the end of a person’s life. The wicked will be cut off by God’s judgment. Although they prosper abundantly in the present, their end is certain. They are not satisfied with prosperity, so they seek to destroy the righteous. Yet, the righteous seek refuge in the LORD. A repeated refrain in the Psalm is, “do not fret.” The path for settling your soul is through seeking refuge in God. The Christian’s heart is encouraged through this revelation of God, who sustains the righteous. Moreover, the Psalm directs Christians to trust, with great hope, in the LORD. The result is that they can progress through life’s difficulties and into eternity because of the salvation of God. He truly delivers those who seek refuge in Him from evildoers.

Revelation 4-6, The Reign of God

The revelation of the future is given from the perspective of heaven. God reigns as the supreme ruler and deity who is enthroned and worshipped in heaven. What is true in heaven becomes the reality on earth as the revelation of the future unfolds. This revelation commences with Jesus breaking open the seals and shows the backdrop against which the judgments of God will come: ordinary and natural suffering in the fallen world and the persecution of Christians and their holy prayer for justice. In response to their prayer, divine wrath is poured out upon the world (with the seventh seal [8:1] and the trumpet and bowl judgments that ensue). All of this affirms the resounding biblical call to be ready for Christ. He is indeed coming quickly. May we be dressed in readiness and keep our lamps lit.

Revelation 2-3, Exhortations of our Loving Lord

Jesus knows the future, that judgment is coming. He, therefore, prepares His elect with strong exhortations to prepare for that day. He speaks strong admonishments out of His immense love for the churches. There is no greater proof of love than to warn your beloved of an impending danger. Divine judgment is coming and Jesus wants none to perish but for all to come to repentance. May we all have ears to hear what the Spirit says to the churches!

Matthew 4:5-7, The will of God for Man: Live Dependently

Jesus trusted in His heavenly Father. Thus, He would never patronize God by subjecting Him to a test to confirm His trustworthiness. God is faithful and true and He is the very essence of such attributes. While we may reasonably test countless other things that are uncertain, we do not test the One who Himself is the plumb line of faithfulness and truth. We learn from Jesus that we are not to test God, but instead, we are to trust in Him with all our heart.

Matthew 28:18-20, The Commands of Christ

The purpose of Christ for us is that we be disciples and make disciples. This entails that we know and remember the commands of Christ that we may live by them. This sermon marks the starting point of a season of rigorous Scripture memorization and recitation in our community groups. May we all live as faithful disciples of Christ who are also capable disciple makers for Christ.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Love And Remember

The Shema is the passage we turn to to encourage the Fathers on this Father’s Day. There is only one God who is the triune God, who has been revealed to us in the Son of God incarnate. And the Lord’s calling on our lives is that we love Him, the triune God, with all of all that we are, heart, soul, and might. This love for the Lord is to be expressed in our willing obedience to Him which entails that we remember and keep His word. May the Lord so strengthen the men of our church to be the spiritual leaders who will impact the next generation for His glory and honor.

John 13:18-20, Jesus Is Trustworthy

Jesus is trustworthy. In this passage on Judas’ impending betrayal, the Lord Jesus shows Himself to be the gleaming spiritual leader who can be trusted. He is faithful in His character, He is attentive in His care for His people, and He demonstrates a breadth of wisdom that convinces us that we can and must trust in Him. May we behold His glory from yet another dimension from His Word that we might trust in Him all the more and be conformed to His likeness.

1 Samuel 2:1-11, God Is Our Fortress (Part 3)

The woman who seems to have nothing speaks as if she has everything. What’s her secret? How does this woman exude such confidence and hope? She knows the LORD and she trusts in Him. Her impressive knowledge of God is the subject of this study. Her theology is robust and she heartily worships the true God and anchors her hope in His promise of the Messiah. True men of God and women of God pray to Him, submit to Him, worship Him and hope in Him.
