In the remainder of Jesus’ trial before Pilate, we encounter the sinfulness of sin of Pilate, Caiaphas, and the Jews. In all of these we see a glimpse of ourselves and our own sinful hearts. But in this text we also see the immense suffering of our Savior who has paid our ransom. There is hope for sinners because Christ Jesus suffered on our behalf. He has paid the price to call us out of sin and...

We have a Lord to serve, a church to build, and a world to reach. All who belong to the kingdom of Christ are to be about the Lord’s business. As Jesus stood before Pontius Pilate, He testified to the reality of His heavenly, redemptive, eschatological kingdom. May all recognize the voice of the Lord and heed it faithfully and follow Him diligently in the strait and narrow way to eternal life. Hos...

While Jesus was progressing toward the cross to pay the debt of sin of sinners, Simon Peter kept driving himself deeper and deeper into the debt of sin. The contrast between Simon the sinner and Jesus the Savior is as stark as it can be. John intertwines the two stories of Jesus’ trial and Peter’s denial to showcase the golden thread of Jesus’ righteous character against the contrast of Simon Pete...

Our attitude is the paradigm from which we live. This passage directs our attention to the attitude of Christ, compelling us to adopt the same attitude He embodied. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jesus selflessly gave Himself up for us, a profound truth vividly displayed in the scene of His arrest. In these eleven verses, John reveals how Jesus truly surrendered Himself for our salvation. His rejection of personal gain, self-preservation, and self-centeredness exposes our own selfishness, highlighting our need for the Savior and repentance. May the Holy Spirit guide us to behold Jesus’ glo...

Worship is the insignia of salvation. We who wish for all our children to be saved must pass down to them an enthusiastic worship of the LORD. This is the pattern revealed in Psalm 145. Extolment of our God passes from personal to generational to universal, and the character of that worship is seen as reverberative, personal, constant, wonderful (full of wonder), and faith-ful (full of faith). May...

What is the greatest proof of saving faith? It is a life that has changed being united with the church. Consequently, Christians must be intentional to benefit one another, specifically regarding their sanctification. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The last section of Revelation is regarding New Jerusalem, the believers’ eternal home. John sees the vision of that remarkable place marked by its newness, the glory of God, its magnificent and beautiful appearance, its sustenance for its inhabitants, and its fruitful activities. The celestial city comes down from heaven like a bride adorned for her husband into the new creation, the new heaven a...

The Lord’s kingdom will conclude with one final rebellion instigated by the Devil. This reveals the marvelous nature of saving faith which has been gifted to God’s elect. Regeneration and genuine faith is the stupendous present from heaven. Moreover, the gift of salvation means all our sinful deeds are marked as “paid in full” by the Lamb who was slain for His people. The millennial kingdom of our...

Eunice stands out among the women of God found in Scripture as having experienced an inordinate degree of God’s grace. In this study of Eunice, we see the marks of God’s grace in her conversion, her commitment to Scripture, her sincere and living faith, and her impact on her son. May the Lord make all the women of our church a trophy of His grace and may the Holy Spirit evermore teach us to swim d...

The Millennium is the appetizer before the main course, the first movement of a symphony, the penultimate prior to the ultimate. It is the forerunner who heralds the excellence of the world to come. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For to Christians, every moment God grants us to live is aimed toward “fruitful labor.” As riveting as it is to stimulate one another to live for Christ, being with Christ is ultimately better. We aim to exalt Christ in life and death. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John testifies of Jesus’ resurrection with three evidences of the empty tomb, His graveclothes, and His post-resurrection appearances. Jesus rose from the dead. The witnesses sealed their testimony with their own lives. What did Jesus convey to His people upon His resurrection? Not disappointment, displeasure, or condemnation for those who failed Him, but grace, pure, undeserved grace. He did this...

Jesus’ return is marked by two suppers, one a celebration of the marriage of the Lamb and the other the aftermath of the Armageddon. The bride of Christ prepares herself for her groom while the rest of the world prepares to war with Him. May the Lord grant us to grace to be at peace with God, not at war with Him. In the end, there are only two ends, the wedding feast or the judgment feast. May the...

The driving theme of the passage is the progress of the Gospel through the proclamation of Christ. Many terms are used in the text to describe proclaiming Christ and none of them requires an official position of leadership. Instead, a trust in the Lord will lead us to be courageous and to speak the word of God without fear. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The call to depart from Babylon is the culmination of the multitudinous and resounding call of Scripture that God’s people be separate, be set apart from this world, and in some cases, actually leave the place of contaminants. In this study, we examine what Babylon is and what it represents and why our need for separation is reflected in the final call of God for the tribulation saints to leave Ba...

The bowl judgments reveal the last of the judgments of God that bring utter devastation on the earth: sores, bloody waters, fire, darkness, preparation for the Armageddon, and the fall of Babylon. Amid all these supernatural and extraordinary plagues, men refuse to repent but blaspheme the name of the God of heaven. The Lord’s message to the churches in the present age is found in verse 15, “Stay...

The third sign in heaven introduces the bowl judgments in which the wrath of God is finished. The judgment of God is His first order of business as He establishes His kingdom on earth. When He comes who is the almighty, the all-powerful, the omnipotent, He roots out all wickedness and corruption from His world. But there is mercy to those who are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb who follow Him wh...

All Christians are partakers of grace and so they live out of God’s grace. Living out of God’s grace is marked by one’s participation in the Gospel and biblical love. The result is that Christians become greater partakers of God’s grace. Sermon Notes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19lDzpLN5j2XlVGuzPTgvWq8myqERj8rU/view?usp=sharing Hosted on Acast.

After the sign of the dragon and his two minions, John saw a visions in heaven, midheaven, and on earth. With these, we are assured that those who underwent the pressures of the tribulation make it safely to heaven, the reprobate on the earth stubbornly proceed to their demise, and the wrath of God assuredly comes upon the world as a result. All of this challenges us to be sure that we are overcom...

An overcomer is the one who follows Christ and holds fast to Him to the very end. In this section of Revelation where the activity of Satan is detailed, we discover how the saints (overcomers) will resist the Devil and enter into glory. The overcomers of the church age are no different in their perseverance and faith, and we exhibit a faith no different than they. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pr...
