The sermon explores the biblical prophecy of a new heaven and earth, emphasizing that God will purify the current creation by fire to make it entirely new for believers. It details the characteristics of the New Jerusalem as a holy city free from separation, sorrow, pain, death, sin, and darkness, where God dwells directly with His people. The speaker highlights the contrast between the temporary, corrupted present world and the eternal, perfect reality prepared for those written in the Lamb's book of life. By examining specific scriptures, the message underscores that this future state is a place of worship, service, and direct fellowship with Christ. The ultimate purpose is to encourage believers to live holy lives now while looking forward to the everlasting satisfaction found in God's presence.

The sermon explores the theological foundation of God's goodness by examining Romans 8:28 and the narrative of Job. It argues that evil is not an equal force to God but a corruption of His original good creation, permitted only within strict divine limits. The preacher emphasizes that God's justice and holiness necessitate the punishment of sin, yet His mercy provides redemption through Christ. By analyzing Job's suffering, the text illustrates that God remains sovereign and good even when His purposes are hidden from human understanding. Ultimately, the message offers comfort by affirming that all circumstances work together for the good of those who love God.

The sermon explores the transition from the old covenant to the new age inaugurated by Christ, emphasizing that the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 marked the end of the old order. It interprets Revelation chapters 21 and 22 as describing the present reality of the New Jerusalem descending to earth, where God dwells directly with His people without need for a temple or mediators. The preacher argues against literalistic interpretations of the thousand years and future-only prophecies, asserting that Christ currently reigns with authority over all creation. Through extensive cross-referencing with Isaiah and other Old Testament texts, the message highlights the continuity between the prophets' promises and John's vision of a renewed heaven and earth. The tone is instructional and corrective, aiming to clarify biblical eschatology while affirming the sufficiency of Scripture and the centrality of Christ's finished work.

Today Jordan Snedeker continues the series in Hebrews with versus 5-18 of Chapter 2. Why did Jesus have to put on human flesh and come to suffer? What were the requirements to bring many to glory? Did Jesus sin in the midst of His suffering? What needed to be perfected in Jesus that was not before He came to His creation to save it? Listen and be amazed at the mercy and grace of our God through His work of salvation. God bless!

This sermon explores Psalm 8, contrasting the vast majesty of God's creation with His intimate care for humanity. The preacher uses the example of astronaut Gordon Cooper and personal anecdotes to illustrate how God establishes strength through weakness and grants humans dominion over the earth. It argues that while humans often treat God like a vending machine or a relative, He is infinitely greater than His creation. The message emphasizes that true worship arises from recognizing this immense gap between Creator and creature. Believers are called to be mindful of God's generosity and to reflect His glory through humble praise.

Study in the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith

No matter where you are or what you have done, the High Priest and Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, has been perfectly fitted to your need. If you will come to Him, not as a decent person in need of a life coach to give some pointers, but as a ruined sinner in need of a new life, He will give exactly what is needed. He is the Priest who represents you and the sacrifice who took your place. He will take away the filth and despair of sin and guilt and usher you into the presence of God. He has torn the temple veil and unlocked the Holy of Holies. He will cause you to serve Him from the heart, today and forevermore.

The sermon critiques the influence of Greek philosophy, particularly Platonism and Neoplatonism, on Christian theology through figures like Augustine and Marcion. It argues that this philosophical shift introduced dualism and allegorical interpretation, leading to a spiritualized view of heaven and the kingdom of God that denies the literal fulfillment of Old Testament promises to Israel. The speaker contrasts these historical errors with the biblical teaching of a physical New Creation and a future Millennial Kingdom on earth. Emphasizing the irrevocable nature of God's covenant with Israel, the text asserts that rejecting a literal earthly destiny undermines the purpose of the Great Commission and the believer's future rewards. Ultimately, the message calls for a return to literal biblical interpretation as the sole source of truth for understanding history and eschatology.
