Satan on SermonAudio

We are continuing the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, which began in Acts 13. As the gospel is preached, there is division. The division leads to persecution. But there are those who believe and continue in the faith, despite persecution. Paul established the churches with leadership so that they could continue in the faith and propagate the gospel further.

This sermon provides a comprehensive overview of biblical eschatology, distinguishing the distinct destinies of the church, Israel, and the nations. It argues for a pre-tribulational rapture, asserting that the church will be caught up to meet Christ in the air before the seven-year period of the Day of the Lord. The teaching contrasts the church's destiny of reward and marriage with the nations' and Israel's experience of judgment and tribulation, supported by key passages such as 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5. The sermon outlines the subsequent events, including the Second Coming, the binding of Satan, and the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom, emphasizing the hope of Christ's return and the ultimate restoration of all things.

In the climactic finale of human history, we saw four ways of how God will deal with Satan for good that should cause us to rejoice in His faithfulness. The first was seeing how God is sovereign over Satan and how God will permit the release of Satan for his demise and God's glory. The second way was how God will reveal Satan's army and how that army will consist of all those who will not believe and accept Jesus as their Lord. On this Sunday, we will examine the final two ways of how God will deal with Satan that should remind and encourage us of God's everlasting love and faithfulness towards His people for His glory.

Theme: Do not be deceived: the children of God cannot look like the devil, because they are righteous. 1. God's Family Trait (2:29-3:3) 2. Satan's Family Trait (3:4-6) 3. The Family Test (3:7-10)

In this sermon from Psalm 34, Pastor Rockhill draws the congregation to the goodness of the Lord as experienced by David when he fled from Saul and feigned madness before the Philistine king. Though God's people today do not face David's exact trials, Pastor Rockhill reminds them that every believer wages spiritual warfare against sin, Satan, and temptation, and so may still identify with the psalmist's fears and troubles. The central burden is a summons to taste and see that the Lord is good. Pastor Rockhill divides the psalm into the singing (verses 1-10), where David praises God at all times and invites others to magnify the Lord with him, and the sermon (verses 11-22), where practical instruction follows for those who have tasted the Lord's kindness. He stresses that deliverance came not by David's scheming but by the angel of the Lord who encamps around those who fear Him. Key doctrine is set forth in the character of God: He is near, righteous, faithful, compassionate, and sovereign over the many afflictions of the righteous, from which He delivers them all. Pastor Rockhill points to the unbroken bones of Christ as the fulfillment of this preserving grace. By way of application, he calls hearers to guard their tongues, depart from evil, do good, and pursue peace as the fruit of salvation rather than its cause. All rests on Christ, who bore God's wrath so that none who trust in Him shall be condemned. He urges every listener to lay down doubt and fear and taste the gospel's goodness by faith.
