Mystery of Present Evil

Why does evil exist? Why does God allow evil to continue? Is evil evidence for atheism?

What is the future of evil? What is our role in the battle? These questions are among the most

difficult issues of life. Jesus answers this human dilemma with His divine perspective.

More from The Kingdom...and Other Mysteries

"Mystery of Babylon" - Revelation 17:1-19:3 | Full Sunday Service

July 28, 2024 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Revelation 17:1—19:3

This passage of Revelation forms one continuous drama displaying the judgment of Babylon. The woman of chapter 17 and the city of chapter 18 are the same entity. This is an appendix to the seventh bowl judgment (16:19) where these events are first mentioned. The mystery here is the identification of this recipient of overwhelming divine retribution.

Mystery of Christ in His Churches - Revelation 1:12-20

July 7, 2024 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Revelation 1:12–20

In the first of four great visions recorded throughout the book of Revelation, John describes his encounter with the Risen Lord. Unconcerned with the appearance of Jesus in the gospel he wrote, John now seems overwhelmed by his glimpse of Jesus after so many years. A vision of Jesus is a necessary part of the explanation of this mystery for a persecuted people.

Late: "Mystery of Lawlessness" - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

June 30, 2024 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • 2 Thessalonians 2

While certainly included in the book of Revelation, this mystery must be seen unfolding in both testaments in order to gain a more complete understanding.
