Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

There is an old Southern gospel song "There Ain't No Middle Ground." It is time the church gave up trying to find safety in big middles and risked ministry on the edges. In 1890, a Wisconsin merchant named Smithson came up with a creative way to cope with his Sunday afternoon shortages of ice cream. With no Sunday deliveries but with crowds of people with a welcome day off wanting ice cream, he t...

Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21

Sermon

Steven E. Albertin

"Why do bad things happen to good people?" is the way we say it today. That surely must have been a question on the hearts and minds of those first-century Christians as they suffered under the brutal persecution of the Roman empire. It is a question that surely was on the hearts and minds to whom John had written this extraordinary piece of literature we call the book of Revelation. Many of them...

The great Bible teacher, John MacArthur, told the story of how recently his sister died of cancer, and went to be with the Lord. One of the last times John saw his sister was at the hospital. She was suffering terribly. They talked very candidly about the future. She looked up at him and said, "John, I am going to die very soon and be with the Lord." Dr. MacArthur looked at his sister and made thi...

4. Come

Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

A garden full of flowers in bloom. A stroll through the park. A trip to the museum. Holding your grandchild. A long conversation with your best friend. A new book. An afternoon nap. A cold drink of water. A dip in the pool. A few minutes in prayer. What is it that refreshes you? What is it that quenches your thirst? Years ago, in the very first church in which I was able to serve the Lord's Suppe...

5. Living on Full Alert

Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17. 20-21

Sermon

J. Howard Olds

An evangelistic preacher in a small church announced his text for the day in a booming voice by saying “Behold, I am coming soon.” Unsatisfied with the attention of the congregation the preacher said it even more forcefully a second time. “Behold, I am coming soon.” Still not content with the response, the preacher took a couple of steps back and charging the pulpit said “Behold, I am coming soon....

6. Jesus Rewards the Just

Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21

Sermon

Richard Gribble

Imagine picking up the Sunday paper, opening it and reading in giant letters, Jesus Christ Will Return In Two Weeks. What would we do? How would we react to this astonishing information? I think there would be two basic reactions. Some of us, out of fear, would change our lives immediately. The Lord is coming and we are not ready. We might start going to church more often, probably every day. Pray...

7. Life Between the Times

Revelation 22:7-21

Sermon

Mark Ellingsen

Famed twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth has claimed that this text, in which Jesus promises to be coming soon (vv.12,20), testifies to a present that looks back to Jesus and expects his final revelation. All time is the time of the man Jesus: Can the Christianity and the church that really derive and are grounded in the resurrection of Jesus Christ ever be anything better than the place whe...
