Passage: Philippians 1:3–5; Proverbs 18:24; John 15:13–15; Galatians 6:2; Philippians 4:6–7; Ephesians 1:16–17; 1 Corinthians 1:4; 1 Thessalonians 1:2 This series is about perspective: even in a brutal year, the preacher chooses to honor God and his mother by noticing what has gone right, not…
more -
Come, Jesus Come, pt. 7 - The Triumphant Return
Passage: Revelation 19–22 After Babylon falls, heaven answers with worship and Jesus returns as the conquering King, not the sacrificial Lamb. The preacher walks through the wedding feast, the thousand-year reign, and the new heaven and new earth, then keeps pressing what that means for waiting…
more -
Come, Jesus Come, pt. 6 - The Collapse
Passage: Revelation 17–18 Babylon collapses, first as a false world religion and then as a world power that forgot God. John sees it after the seals, trumpets, and bowls, but it happens before that tribulation and clears the way for Jesus to come. The idea the preacher keeps underlining is that...
-
Come, Jesus Come, pt. 5 - Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls
Passage: Revelation 6–16 The Lamb opens the seals, and the trumpets and bowls pour out God’s wrath on a world that will not repent. The preacher wants those judgments heard as real events still ahead, in the three and a half years before Jesus comes. Then he presses what that means for sin,...
-
Come, Jesus Come, pt. 4 - Throne Room Worship
Passage: Revelation 4–5 John is caught up in the Spirit and sees the throne room of heaven—God on the throne, the elders and living creatures worshiping, and a sealed scroll no one is worthy to open. Only the Lion of Judah appears as the slain Lamb who lives, takes the scroll, and draws all...
-
Come, Jesus Come, pt. 3 - The Seven Letters, Cont’d
Passage: Revelation 3 Jesus finishes the seven letters with Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea—and the accountability sharpens. One church looks alive but is dead, another has little strength yet stays true and faithful, and another is lukewarm, wealthy, and spiritually blind. This message calls…
more -
Come, Jesus Come, pt. 2 - The Seven Letters
Passage: Revelation 2 Jesus writes to the churches of Asia—beginning with Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Thyatira—and shows that He knows their works, their struggles, and their compromises. These letters still speak to congregations and individuals today: keep love at the center, stay faithful...
-
Come Jesus Come, pt. 1 - The Exalted Christ
Passage: Revelation 1 Revelation opens by putting the exalted Christ at the center—not timelines, charts, or speculation. John receives a vision that unveils who Jesus is in glory, assures persecuted believers that God is in control, and points toward His visible return. This message calls us to...
-
Sackcloth and Ashes, pt. 8 - Restoration and Redemption
Passage: Job 42 In Job’s final chapter, he moves from hearing about God to seeing Him—and finally repents in dust and ashes. God forgives him, restores him, and even makes him the mediator for his friends. This message calls us to real repentance, faithful endurance in misfortune, and trust that...
-
Sackcloth and Ashes, pt. 7 - The Graciousness of God
Passage: Job 38–41 After hearing from Job’s friends, Elihu, and Job himself, God finally speaks—out of the storm. He does not smite Job, though Job has accused Him of being wicked, unjust, and uncaring. Instead, God calls Job to brace himself like a man and confronts him with the majesty of...
-
Sackcloth & Ashes, pt. 6 - Words from the Wise
Passage: Job 32–35 After Job’s friends fall silent, Elihu finally speaks—angry at Job for justifying himself rather than God, and angry at the friends for condemning Job without proof. Through Elihu’s counsel we learn that wisdom is a gift from God, presence gives our words weight, assumption is...
-
Sackcloth & Ashes, pt. 5 - Hope for the Hopeless
Passage: Job 18–19 In Job 19, nothing around Job has improved—he is still sick, grieving, and sitting in the ashes—yet hope begins to speak louder than his pain. Bildad’s cruel certainty only deepens Job’s isolation, but Job anchors himself to one confession: “I know that my Redeemer lives.” This...
-
Sackcloth & Ashes pt. 4 – Mediator Wanted
Passage: Job 9:1-35; Job 16:1-22 These two passages show the need for a mediator between humanity and God. In many ways they point to Jesus. But this role can be held by loving mature believers who help remind us of who God is, and who we are called to be in the midst of the storm. Key Takeaways:...
-
Sackcloth & Ashes, pt 3 - Unreliable Advisors
