Is Hell real?

"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter." Ever heard of that stuff? It's a brand of margarine, with an unusually long name... a name that really does not hold up to scrutiny. Try to cook with it and you'll have no trouble believing it's not butter­—heat has a way of revealing what things really are. Peter says something similar about the Christian's faith: the genuineness of saving faith becomes evident when the heat gets turned up. "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials...," 1 Peter 1:6 (LSB). Don't miss that: suffering is an expected part of the Christian life. The Christian's faith, anchored to an eternal inheritance, is shown to be genuine when exposed to the heat of life's varied trials. By God's preserving grace, saving faith holds up because it is real—and through those trials, God purifies and strengthens that faith for His glory. "...so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ," verse 7. This Lord's Day, we'll consider what God is doing through the trials we face, including those that come because we follow Jesus in a world that rejects Him. A faith fixed on Christ can rejoice even though we cannot yet see Him; we know He is refining our faith for the glad day of His return. Join us as we return to 1 Peter with, "Homeward Bound: Faith's Crucible." Prepare for Sunday: Read and meditate on 1 Peter 1:1-12, focusing on verses 6-9. Consider the following: What two things occur simultaneously when believers face

It has always been the case in Israel and during this Church Age that only a "remnant" shall be saved out of the mass of humanity. Those who reject modern Israel on the basis that few of the Jews there are believers are demonstrating an appalling ignorance of Scripture.

[Revelation-010] Revelation 12: Satan Persecutes Israel - Revelation 12 by Dr. John Brumett Date of Service: Sep 20 2026 (Hour 2)

The sermon examines the confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders in the temple, where Jesus responds to their challenge regarding His authority with a counter-question about John the Baptist. By exploring parallel accounts and the resurrection of Lazarus, the text highlights the leaders' fear of losing their status and their ultimate plot to kill Jesus, contrasting this with the genuine faith of those who believed. The central theological argument asserts that Jesus possesses divine authority as the visible image of the invisible God, supported by passages from John and Colossians that describe Him as the creator and sustainer of all things. This revelation of Christ's identity serves as the foundation for the gospel message, emphasizing that reconciliation with God is achieved solely through His sacrificial death, which renders believers holy and blameless. The sermon concludes with a pastoral call for Christians to abandon the shame of hidden sin and trust in the perfect, unlosable security of their salvation in Christ.

This sermon explores the closing verses of Revelation, highlighting the sovereign promise that God is making all things new rather than destroying creation. It outlines a theological progression from the certainty of God's trustworthy word to the work of regeneration, where spiritually dead sinners are given life through the free gift of the water of life. The message emphasizes that redemption is achieved not by human merit but by inheriting Christ's victory through faith, leading to eternal fellowship with God. Conversely, the sermon issues a solemn warning about the ruination of those who remain in unbelief, facing the second death in the lake of fire. The tone is both comforting to believers and convicting to the unrepentant, urging an immediate response to the gospel invitation.

[Revelation-009] Revelation 11: God Preserves His Purpose and His People - Rev. 11 by Dr. John Brumett Date of Service: Sep 20 2026 (Hour 1)

Solomon now reigns as King of Israel. And we see the mixed bag that he was as he begins marrying unbelieving, pagan women while also demonstrate great acts of wisdom as ruler. This chapter includes his marriage to Pharaoh's daughter, his request for wisdom (instead of wealth or power) from the LORD who visits him in a dream. And the chapter closes with the famous story of two harlots fighting over a living child.

The sermon introduces the first of eight visions in the book of Zechariah, defining resilience as an inner strength grounded in trust that God remains in control. It contrasts Old Testament revelations through dreams and visions with the sufficiency of Scripture in the current dispensation, emphasizing that new supernatural experiences are unnecessary for believers. The speaker explains that biblical understanding requires the illumination of the Holy Spirit, which was not available to prophets before the New Covenant. By examining Zechariah 1:8-13, the message highlights how God uses symbolic imagery to remind His people of His sovereignty and mercy despite their hardships. This study aims to encourage faithfulness and steady trust in God's plan during times of difficulty.

After referring us TO the Scriptures "able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." Paul now tells us ABOUT the Scriptures. We begin in this study by looking at what Jesus, the prophets and apostles themselves tell us ARE the Scriptures.
