Christ is "coming again to judge the living and the dead." That is one of the basic truths believers confess. So important is the final judgment that the Bible devotes almost an entire book to that theme. Revelation reveals the closing chapters of the great drama of human history—the conflict between the offspring of the serpent and the offspring of the woman. In the judgment God will affirm his love to his dear children. But upon those who reject him and have sided with Satan will be judged. The seven bowls of God's wrath are Scriptures most intense portrayal of God's judgment. Whatever we feel about the judgment, it is coming. But we ought to feel something about the judgment. More than that, we ought to respond with godly zeal to the warnings God gives about the judgment. In Revelation, the Lord previews for his church "the things that must soon take place" to encourage them as they endure tribulation (Rev. 1:9).

Sermon Notes "Changed by Christ" Acts 22:11-21 I. Chosen by Grace (11-16) II. Called to Witness (17-20) III. Sent Out by Jesus (21)

This sermon examines the distinction between religious noise and genuine spiritual power, using the metaphor of a firecracker versus dynamite to illustrate the difference between impressive speech and transformative action. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 4, the message warns against the danger of mistaking God's patience for approval and relying on eloquence rather than the evidence of the Holy Spirit's work in one's life. The preacher challenges the congregation to evaluate their own spiritual maturity by asking whether they are prepared to be held accountable and corrected, rather than merely defending their own positions. True Christian maturity is defined not by what one says, but by the power of God evidenced through humility, obedience, and repentance. The central call is to move beyond self-confidence and pride, allowing the gospel to produce real change in character and conduct.
