The sovereignty of God in the institution of the Lord's Supper.

What happens AFTER heaven? And what about now? On the cross, Jesus said "It is finished." In Revelation 21, God says "It is done."

This sermon looks at what the Bible says about God's final judgment on the non-believers and the believers.

This sermon takes a look at what is meant by the binding of Satan and the sealing of the abyss. The mission of the church can be hindered by Satan but not stopped and not destroyed.

One of the final steps of the church's spiritual warfare, which is led by Jesus Christ, is the judgment of the beast and the false prophet.

Incorrect views of who God is abound. It is important for the believer to have an accurate view of who God is as He has revealed Himself in His Word. Here, in Revelation 19, we see Him revealed as a warrior fighting for His church and furiously fighting against evil. In the end, every evil force will be utterly defeated and fully punished. Those in Christ should have no fear. Our God is for us!

Does God care about evil governments? Does he care about or able to do anything about the evil worldly system of economics (all the greed and exploitation)? The answer is, yes! And the Day is coming when not only will evil people be judged but the entire system will be destroyed never to rise again. And heaven rejoices!

The church is called to come out of "Babylon" because it is being judged. 

The kings and all merchants of the world mourn at Babylon's destruction.  

How about the church? Will we mourn her destruction or will we rejoice with heaven? 

Are we so in love with the world that we seek its perpetuation? 

Are we like Lot's wife?

Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings. Though all the armies of the world should attack His church and His purposes with a single-minded unified physical and spiritual attack, they are defeated and we are more than conquerors.

The beast is demonized (evil) state government. In this section we see the final rise of the beast (the mother of all beasts). It is a rise to destruction. This is a call to see the rise of beastly governments and to prayerfully seek the good of our world through the advance of the gospel and of the defeat of evil.
