Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

God is sovereign and He opens and closes doors; doors of opportunity, witness, and work. But even a door opened by God does not mean that it will be free from adversity and trouble. We need to hold on to our gifts and persevere through difficult times.

God sees our hearts and souls, so we should aim to please Him, even in the midst of trials and suffering. Each of us must pray to grow in service, faith, and perseverance. Hold on to what we know to be true, and know the truth by knowing His Word.

God knows our circumstances and He cares. While Satan tries to lead us astray, the word of God helps us to hold on to Jesus and to our faith. By doing so, we can overcome. When we repent of sin and idolatry, we will receive blessings from heaven.

Jesus is the first and the last. It is all found in Him. We need not fear death or suffering because He will restore us, but we should expect persecution if we lead godly lives. Those who have been born again will not face the pain of the second death.

Lessons from this this letter include the importance of persevering, adhering to sound doctrine, guarding the truth, testing everything against scripture, and avoiding all evil. If we make Jesus our first love, we will focus on what really matters.

We need the grace and peace of the triune God today. He loves us and He is with us in our suffering. We should wait for His return with the patient endurance we have through Jesus, knowing that He holds the keys to sin and death.

God is speaking to us if we will listen. He spoke to John while he was in isolation on Patmos. He can speak to us in our isolation today. These may not be the very last days, but the day is approaching. So spur each other on to good works and look up!

Jesus promises both that we will have trouble in this world and that He has overcome it. After rising from the dead, Jesus appeared to His disciples, even though they were isolated in a locked room. Even now, He stands in our midst bringing us peace.

In the midst of world-wide devastation, God provided safe haven for Noah and his family. Likewise, He calmed the storm when the sea battered His disciples. He wants us to be courageous in scary times, to have faith, and to keep our eyes fixed on Him.
