When God makes all things new
March 25, 2018 • Dr. Danny Lovett
Revelation 21 is our text this week. When we begin to speak of eternal matters, we have entered a realm where we have difficulties getting our heads wrapped around this topic. Our mortal minds can’t begin to comprehend an existence that is eternal and perfect. We are so tied to time and accustomed to the concerns of this present life that we really can’t even imagine what heaven will be like. All we can do is read our Bibles, believe what God says about heaven, and rejoice in what awaits us, even though we can’t possibly grasp it all now. The title of the message for Sunday is When God Makes All Things New.
The Millenium
March 18, 2018 • Dr. Danny Lovett
Some 250 years ago a man name Isaac Watts wrote a hymn based on Psalm 98 called “Joy to the World.” We sing this hymn at Christmas to celebrate Christ’s first coming. It's a favorite Christmas song, but the song is really about Christ's second coming. "He rules the world with truth and grace..." Watts wrote the hymn to celebrate the Kingship of Christ over all the earth, as the words indicate. This Sunday we will see what the Millennium means to us.
The King is Coming
March 11, 2018 • Dr. Danny Lovett
The Bible is filled with references to the second coming of Christ. There are 1845 references in all. It is emphasized in 17 Old Testament books, and 70 percent of the chapters of the New Testament make reference to it. Christ Himself said he would return, as did angels who spoke to the apostles at Christ's ascension into heaven. This abundance of evidence does not keep scoffers from asking, ”Where is the promise of His coming?” (2 Peter 3:4). That question is answered in Revelation 19:11-16 and will be our focus this Sunday as we look at The King is Coming.
