    The Gate
    John 10:1-10
    “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
    Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

  • Evil Will Lose!
    Dennis R. Wiles
    March 3, 2019
    Hopefully, Standing on the Promises
    Winter 2019
    January 5 – March 5, 2019
    Evil Will Lose!
    Revelation 20:7-21:4
    HOPEFULLY: Standing on the Promises
    Evil Will Lose!
    Revelation 20:7-21:4
    When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
    Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
    Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
    The Reality of Evil
    “Devastations have bloodied every generation. Does our globe have one square mile of unstained soil? The Hutu slaughtered eight hundred thousand people, primarily Tutsi. Hitler exterminated six million Jews and a half-million Gypsies. American bombs devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese tortured American soldiers. Suicide bombs exploded in Baghdad, and a mass murderer devastated Sandy Hook. It’s not right, it’s not just, it’s not fair that evil prospers.”
    -Max Lucado, Unshakable Hope
    God has set a day for judgment!
    Acts 17:31
    For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
    Evil will lose!
    “When you wonder of the wicked will go unpunished or injustices will go unaddressed, let this promise gratify your desire for justice. God will have the final word.”

    God Gives Strength to the Weary
    Isaiah 40:27-31
    May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him so that you may overflow with hope by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
    -Romans 15:13
    HOPE – Confident expectation
    God Gives Strength to the Weary
    Isaiah 40:27-31
    Why do you complain, Jacob?
        Why do you say, Israel,
    “My way is hidden from the Lord;
        my cause is disregarded by my God”?
    Do you not know?
        Have you not heard?
    The Lord is the everlasting God,
        the Creator of the ends of the earth.
    He will not grow tired or weary,
        and his understanding no one can fathom.
    He gives strength to the weary
        and increases the power of the weak.
    Even youths grow tired and weary,
        and young men stumble and fall;
    but those who hope in the Lord
        will renew their strength.
    They will soar on wings like eagles;
        they will run and not grow weary,
        they will walk and not be faint.
    HOPE
    Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all… As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength.
    -G.K. Chesterton
    God has not forgotten you.
    God never gets tired!
    God’s strength is available to you --- especially when you are weary!
