The Bittersweet Of God, Part 4

May 21, 2014
In the gospel of John, Chapter 16:33 Jesus said, "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."  This is the bittersweet of God.  We know that we will have trouble in this world, but we can have peace because He Loves us, and He is in complete control.  Today we'll continue our study through Revelation, and learn more about the bittersweet of God.

God Loves this world and each person in it.  2 Peter 3:10 says "He is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.  The Bible also explains that it's "the goodness of the Lord that leads to repentance."  Today we'll conclude Part 1 of our study entitled "The Bittersweet of God" and Pastor Jeff reminds us of the soon return of Christ, and the need to get right with Him in these last days.

When Jesus came on the scene He was called the Lamb of God.  He was then sacrificed for the sins of the world, making a way for sinful man to come into Gods presence.  But Jesus will one day return, not as a lamb, but as a roaring lion.  We'll continue this thought on todays program as Pastor Jeff delivers part 2 of the message called "The Bittersweet of God" on Sound Doctrine.

The ministry of angels is frequently at work, especially in the life of a believer.  Hebrews 4:14 says "Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?"  And as Dr. Billy Graham once said "angels are God's secret agents.  They are ministering servants, protecting, delivering, and sometimes guiding."  We'll here more about this as Pastor Jeff describes a certain angel found in Revelation chapter 10.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; and all things have become new."  This newness of life begins when we receive Christ.  And because He conquered death, there is no sting in our death.  However, many have not received this free gift and this means the sting of death is still a reality.  Pastor Jeff will explain today the importance of repenting and receiving Christ as Lord.

Revelation is an unveiling of events that will transpire after the church is raptured.  And as we've discovered in our previous programs, this will be a horrific time on the earth.  But in todays message, Pastor Jeff reminds us of the hope that is still available.  The Bible says in Romans 10:13 "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Stay tuned for more on Sound Doctrine.

Today we conclude our study in Revelation chapter nine called "Demons & Suicide."  Pastor Jeff points out the sixed commandment, which commands us not to murder.  And as we'll learn in our study, this includes suicide.
