The Tribulation - Part 2

October 20, 2019

October 20, 2019 • Pastor Chad Thompson

Bottom line: Tribulation proves the profession or rejection of faith in Christ.

The Tribulation will be the worst time in human history and the worst time in Israel's history. It will be a time of judgment poured out on an unbelieving world, a time of refinement for the nation of Israel, and a time to of disestablishment for Satan's reign as god of this world. God will pour out His judgment through a series of plagues known as the Seal, Trumpet,and Bowl judgments, each series intensifying in severity.

In light of the coming judgments of tribulation, how can we respond today? We can preach the gospel to the ends of the world. We can pray for God's rule in heaven to abide on this earth. We can praise the Lamb of God for His salvation. We can prove our profession of faith in Christ as we trust Jesus no matter the hardships and difficulties to come.

Final Words

Bottom line: Jesus' final words are His promise to fulfill our most hope-filled prayer. His final words - Surely, I come quickly. Our hope-filled prayer is that of John - Even so, come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:6-21 gives us a series of last sayings: the final words of Jesus in Revelation, the final invitations in Revelation, and the final warning in Revelation.

Home Sweet Home

Bottom line: Every believer will be a victor who lives in home sweet home. Our new home will be in the New Jerusalem. It will be home sweet home in the new heaven and new earth. It will come with new experiences that we will enjoy to the full like no sorrow, our purpose fulfilled, an ultimate intimacy with God, and the purity and security of New Jerusalem - home sweet home.

Hope For Something New

November 15, 2020 • Pastor Chad Thompson

Bottom line: How we experience life in the present is determined by our hope for the future based on our faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection. We are hope shaped creatures. What we hope for in the future makes all the difference in the NOW! Our NOW experience is controlled by our belief about the future. Our hope is that one day we will live with God in a new heaven and new earth. Knowing this is our future we can make it through any trouble and adversity in our present.
