Last Words

What if you knew when your last day on Earth was going to happen? What if you knew everything about how it would end? Could you live your life normally, knowing what was coming? Over the next several weeks we'll be following a study through the book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible and the last words of Scripture, given to us by God to prepare ourselves for what's ahead. Are you ready for His Last Words?

This sermon series concludes by emphasizing that heaven is a tangible, future reality of a physical new creation where all things are restored and evil is no more. The message argues that this ultimate hope, made possible by the sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God, is not for a select few but for all who thirst for His grace and seek their deepest satisfaction in Him.

This sermon argues that genuine worship stems from a heart captivated by God, a state achieved by focusing on His character as both Creator and Redeemer. Using the vision from Revelation 4-5, the message urges believers to repent from being captivated by trivial things and to reorient their lives around the awe-inspiring truth that Jesus, the slain Lamb, has redeemed them, making them a kingdom of priests.

This sermon uses Jesus's letter to the Church of Philadelphia to demonstrate that God's affirmation is a profound gift rooted in Christ's sacrifice, and that genuine commendation from Jesus comes from faithful living. The message encourages believers to be a church that keeps God's Word, proclaims His name, and patiently endures for the gospel, trusting that their faithfulness will be eternally rewarded.

This sermon, focusing on Jesus's letter to the church in Laodicea, warns against the spiritual danger of self-sufficiency, which blinds believers to their true spiritual poverty and makes them lukewarm in their faith. The message is a call to repentance, urging Christians to abandon self-reliance and "buy" true spiritual riches from Jesus—forgiveness, righteousness, and spiritual sight—to become zealous and effective in His mission.

This sermon uses the letter to the Church of Sardis from Revelation to warn against the spiritual danger of being a "reputationally alive but spiritually dead" church. The message emphasizes that the only cure for this complacency is to "wake up" to one's spiritual reality, strengthen gospel conviction in Christ's worthiness alone, and repent of self-righteousness.

This sermon uses the awe-inspiring vision of Jesus in Revelation to emphasize that He is the Alpha and the Omega—the uncreated beginning and the ultimate end for whom all of creation exists. The message highlights that Jesus’s divine power means there will be a coming judgment, and His sacrifice on the cross is the only way believers, who were made for His glory, can be reconciled to Him and live without perishing.
