Second Street PCA

God judges by works. The righteous are rewarded with honor, glory, and peace. The unrighteous with wrath. How are the works of a Christian rewarded?

The judgment of God will be revealed in "the Day of Wrath". Paul says that when a person judges another, they can then themselves because they themselves sin. Therefore they are without excuse. There is godly judgment. What does it look like? We must each see ourselves honestly, then we may have right judgment.

The Righteousness of God for man is manifest from faith for all who believe. The Wrath of God upon men who suppress the knowledge of God in their sin is manifest from Heaven.

This sermon explores the power of the gospel and the righteousness of God. The power of the gospel works by the Holy Spirit unto salvation by imputing to us God's righteousness for us.

A sermon about the sovereignty of God, faith, prayer, evangelism, and the church.

In this introduction of Paul's, we learn about who he is and his authority over the church. We learn about what the gospel is and who it's about. We learn about who Jesus Christ is and who we are in Christ. Paul is a called-Apostle and we are called-saints.

The assurance of the coming of Jesus Christ and what He desires for us in the meantime.

We're given another glimpse of what the glorified church will look like. It is invincible, beautiful, fulfilling, and glorious. And may be hard to see the church in this way now, but this is it's true identity.

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.

Chapter 16 shows the bowl judgments upon unbelieving mankind and against the kingdoms and authority structures controlled by Satan. Chapter 17 takes a closer look at this judgment, particularly the judgment of the city of man, here in called Babylon the harlot, the mother of harlots. Christians are called to come out of that city and not to be stained by it. Christians are called to stay awake and...

The kings of the world, being deceived by Satan, are unified in setting themselves on thrones above God. They become unified in their attack on Him and His rule. The Christians are told to "stay awake".

The lavishness of true worship and the futility of self-worship.

This sermon looks at the wrath of God poured out on the ungodly. This should inspire our evangelism, give us greater thankfulness for our salvation, and comfort us in our afflictions knowing that God will set all things right.

There are times when things don't seem to be going well for the believer. Then you may look around and see "the arrogant and the prideful " prospering. The psalmist reacts, as too often we all do, resentfully and angrily. The psalmist recognizes that this is not good and so it puts him in slippery place. The answer? Know that God is always with us and upholds us with His omnipotent hand.

In this chapter, God is about to pour out his bowls of wrath on this world's wicked system of chaos against God and His people. But first we are reminded that this is to prepare us for His presence forever.

A sermon on the wrath and grace of God. The wrath of God is a topic which is typically neglected or over-emphasized. To understand salvation, we need to understand from what we have saved.
