Freedom Point Church's Weekly Sermon

This morning Pastor Mike returns with the continuation of the series of the study Revelation. The format today is more like a bible study, so there might be some Q&A as we go along.

The bravery and confidence with which Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn’t just show up in that moment, it was something they cultivated over their whole lives. Do we have that courage on the inside? Are we teaching our children to have that kind of confidence in God?

Paul reminded Timothy that there will be times when people don’t want to hear the whole truth, but they’ll gather around preachers who just say positive and happy things. We’ve got to be careful to hear the whole truth, to look at what the scriptures say, and the Lord and His messengers, and take it all in together.

If you watch the news for 10 seconds - there’s a quick tendency to feel overwhelmed and weary and not-so-optimistic about your own future, the future of our country and even the whole world. When someone asks for you want the good news or the bad news first,’ which do you choose?

This week Pastor Mike is focusing on this question: can you be a person (or a church) who does all the stuff Christians are supposed to do, be someone who believes you’re saved... but in reality you’re lost?

Ever had one of those days where you’re painfully aware of how hard, how heavy, how messy our lives can be? Sarah Lango shares with us this morning a moment in her life this week that the Lord used to remind her of truth - redemption.

A recent poll showed that 80% of Americans polled said they’d opened their bible (30% of those polled were atheist or agnostic) to see if they could figure out if we are in the End Times. This week Pastor Mike continues talking about the importance of prophecy in the Bible, and the overview of the Book of Revelation. Let’s be prepared by seeing what the scriptures say.

Reading Revelation will help our perspective on what the whole thing means, and is meant to be like. Revelation is the revealing of Jesus Christ to creation - including humans!
