Sermons

Things—specific things—are prophesied to happen following the thousand-year rule of Jesus Christ on earth. There will be more resurrections and judgment; there will be a new universe along with a new Jerusalem; and there will be a glorious future for the Family of God.

Anyone who has ever hiked a mountain, or coastal trail has likely come upon formal or informal markers or designations such as those carefully-arranged rock stacks (cairns–to use the Scottish word) that help to guide us. Some of these markers can actually help us avoid danger if not death! Over the history of God’s people, He has provided our ancestors with the cairns necessary to reach the promised land. He even provided the pathways that the Ark of the Covenant would travel to be protected from the enemy. In this Sermonette we will explore the biblical context of this very real–life tool or construct, and its meaning in our spiritual life.

This three part series finishes with a further seven changes that will be experienced after Christ’s return – making a total of twenty changes reviewed in the way that God’s government will work in His Kingdom.

God tells us that we have to put to work what He has given us. We have to use God’s Holy Spirit to overcome and to complete the tasks that He prepared for us so that we can grow in the grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ, which will ultimately be beneficial for everyone.

Sharing joy is as easy as wearing a smile :-)

A look at those who overcame and the great rewards for achieving that goal.

God gives us the ability to see the world without the blindness caused by Satanic deception.  We are given the spiritual tools to seek and progress towards eternal salvation.  Each of us are required to come to God based upon our own decisions—no one else can gain our salvation.  But we are not alone in this life-long pursuit if we allow God to lead out path.

Understanding the depth of God’s reach and knowing that nothing is hidden from Him. He knows our hearts, our minds and our sins. He created all things. He knew us before we were born. He also knows our battles and our needs. In this, we can all find reassurance and comfort.

Is this present world in a state of dystopia or utopia? Does this whole human race find itself in a state of true purpose and wonder? There will be a true utopia in the future. What will it be like? What does the Word of God, the Bible, have to say about True Utopia?

The rewards and challenges for those who overcome.

We all communicate in different ways but what does the Bible have to say about how we communicate? We have a lot of references in the Bible that show us the proper means of communication between God and Christ and between us and them. We also have to be aware of our communication with each other.

In the present age, it seems that all kinds of facts that were true in the past become obsolete, and replaced with new truths all the time. Today’s facts produced by man will undoubtedly suffer the same fate. With conflicting information presenting itself to us, it can be difficult to know what to believe. Actively searching for eternal Truth of God that never changes is the only way to prevent ourselves from becoming confused by the contradictions we encounter.

The History of humankind is a history full of wrong decisions. The effect find there zenith in our present time. Christ’s return becomes tremendous.  His coming will put an end to the great Babylon and the associated thought and ring in a time of blessing. He will quench the war and peace will come upon the earth.

God will send Jesus Christ to establish peace on the earth. Only then will people learn how to seek peace and pursue it. Only then will the Way of God be established on this earth.

The Bible is full of references to life in a city. Over the centuries people generally have sought the support and comfort of living together in a community of some kind. Whether they maintained a farm, or a large household, people of all ages, and economic status lived and worked in concert and towards some greater good. Clearly, the City of God—the New Jerusalem, will have a very different structure and importance than the cities that we’ve seen, read about and experienced. Together we will consider the scriptural basis of the importance of the city structure, and the role it will play in God’s Kingdom.

When we come up from our watery grave, each of us are transformed into a new person.  The change that takes place with the indwelling of God’s Holy Spirit sets us on a one way path.  With this new life we have also been given tools designed to help us succeed.  But we choose whether our ultimate destination will be it eternal life or eternal death.

As true believers, we understand that we will make mistakes and struggle just as those in the Bible before us, realizing we all have the same battles. Resisting Satan and pleasing God—those are the only two forces in life, bad and good. Our relationship with God is the key. True believers never give up.

This sermon continues with a further six areas of change during the millennial rule of Christ.
