This Sunday, we continue our study of the book of the Revelation in chapter thirteen. The word "antichrist" appears only four times in the Bible, yet the concept of a person who opposes God in Christ, or tries to usurp His authority, is present throughout Scripture. Paul referred to him as the “man of sin”, "son of perdition”, and the "lawless one" in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. Jesus himself warned against the coming of the false Christ and the false prophets and quoted Daniel by identifying the “abomination of desolation” as one who would one day stand in the “holy place” of the temple as God (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15). The early church fully expected the appearance of the antichrist and we should be prepared. This Sunday we will look at history’s most terrifying world leader.

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

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.
