ANGELS on SermonAudio

CHRISTMAS, CHRIST WAS: THE ANGEL OF PROVISION 1.    The Cruelty of Man 2.    The Goodness of God

This study examines Revelation 10 as a prophetic interlude that parallels the commissioning of Ezekiel, emphasizing the internalization of God's word through the imagery of eating a little scroll. The discussion explores the identity of the strong angel, likely a Christophany, and the significance of the rainbow as a sign of covenant faithfulness amidst impending judgment. It addresses the theological tension between the sweetness of receiving God's truth and the bitterness of its sobering implications for the believer. The study contextualizes this passage within the four major interpretive frameworks of Revelation, noting the imminent nature of the 'mystery of God' being finished. Ultimately, it calls the audience to receive God's message with faith, recognizing it as both a delight and a weighty responsibility to be proclaimed to all nations.

The Unbreakable Love of God: Our Assurance in the Face of Spiritual Warfare Are we truly aware of the spiritual battle taking place around us? Who are the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness described in Scripture? And how can believers stand with confidence when confronted by the reality of spiritual warfare? The Bible makes it clear that our struggle is far greater than what we can see with our physical eyes. In Ephesians 6:12, the Apostle Paul reveals the unseen spiritual forces that oppose the purposes of God and the lives of His people. Our primary text verse is Ephesians 6:12 (KJV): "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." In this Bible study, we examine the biblical reality of spiritual warfare and consider the nature of the spiritual opposition described in God's Word. We explore the meaning of principalities and powers, the influence of Satan, the schemes of the enemy, and the ongoing conflict between truth and deception. But there is an equally important truth we must never lose sight of: the forces of darkness are real, but they are not supreme. Jesus Christ is Lord over all! Although spiritual warfare is a sobering reality, Scripture gives believers an extraordinary foundation for confidence and assurance. Romans 8:38–39 declares that neither angels, principalities, powers, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
