Future on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the profound nature of God's mercy as depicted in Psalm 103, emphasizing that His compassion is abundant, intrinsic to His character, and superior to human sin. The message highlights that God's forgiveness is complete, removing the guilt and shame of transgressions as far as the east is from the west, thereby freeing believers from the burden of past failures. It further asserts that this divine love is everlasting, extending from eternity past to eternity future and sustaining believers through every season of life. By drawing on examples from David, Peter, and Paul, the teaching illustrates that no sinner is beyond the reach of God's redeeming grace. The sermon concludes with a call to rest in this assurance, reject self-condemnation, and respond to such overwhelming mercy with wholehearted praise and worship.

As a Christian, everything that happens to you is designed: 1. To prepare you for future service. 2. To prepare you to live by faith in God's promises.

Pursue faithfulness in light of the future! In the kingdom plan of God, faithfulness now will lead to reward then.

The sermon expounds on the supreme authority of the risen Christ, who has been exalted above all principalities and powers to serve as the head of the church. It emphasizes that Christ's dominion is universal, encompassing all visible and invisible things, and that His reign assures believers of their security and the church's future, which rests on His perfect work at Calvary rather than human merit. The message highlights the transformation from natural rebellion to voluntary submission under God's lordship, illustrating how believers are adopted into God's family through the new nature given at regeneration. By affirming that all things are subject to Christ, the teaching encourages trust in His sovereign guidance and protection, reminding the congregation that the church is the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

The Child Jesus' future mission is previewed three parts. 1. Jesus will be the faithful Israel and lead us in a new Exodus. (vv. 13-15) 2. Jesus will turn our sorrow into joy. (vv. 16-18) 3. Jesus will be despised and rejected of men to save us. (vv. 19-23)

This sermon explores the theological assurance that God's covenant promises to the nation of Israel remain irrevocable, centering on the declaration in Romans 11 that all Israel shall be saved. The teaching examines prophetic passages from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and 2 Samuel to illustrate the future national restoration, reunification, and spiritual renewal of Israel, including the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant through the Messiah. It contrasts the current age of grace, where Gentiles have access to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, with the future timeline of Israel's deliverance and the establishment of God's kingdom. The tone is instructional and comforting, emphasizing that God's character is unchanging and His word is trustworthy, urging believers to find their ultimate security and identity in Christ rather than in their own efforts or worldly circumstances.

In this sermon, Pastor Linehan considers the duty believers have to remain focused on future hope in present day living for Christ.

In the previous sermon on Psalm 68, God made a procession out of Egypt, through the Promised land and up to Jerusalem. Now in the psalm God clears out the rebels in order for Israel and all the nations to make a procession into Jerusalem. The desire is for the nations to worship God. This section speaks of a future time to us where Jesus will conquer His enemies and rule on earth from Jerusalem.

In these passages we are given a wonderful (utterly flabbergasting and astonishing) picture of Heaven in the future
