Embracing Revelation: Understanding and Sharing the Gospel

Sermon Summary

In this sermon, we delved into the complexities and mysteries of the Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament. We acknowledged our limitations in fully understanding and interpreting this book, given its rich and often confusing imagery. Despite this, we emphasized the importance of the Book of Revelation in the Bible and discouraged the idea of disregarding it due to its complexity. We discussed the various interpretations and views of the book, highlighting the fact that while they can't all be correct, they each offer unique perspectives that contribute to our understanding of the text.

In the latter part of the sermon, we shifted our focus to the importance of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others. We emphasized that as Christians, it is our duty to share our faith and not keep it to ourselves. We also discussed the powerful imagery of Jesus in the Book of Revelation, which serves as a source of encouragement and inspiration for us to spread the gospel. We concluded the sermon by reiterating our love for the Bible and Jesus, despite the challenges posed by the Book of Revelation.

1. "The reality is for 2,000 years there have been wars, there have been famines. Yes, for the next 2,000 years there's probably going to be wars and famines and all kinds of stuff. We tend to idolize the symbols or the events, and what Jesus wants is for us to follow him. If we follow him, then we're fine, we're set, we have comfort and the hope that he's given us." 35:37

2. "We tend to put Jesus and what he said on the shelf and follow the events. We follow politics and we want to figure society and countries and nations and people that are in power. The devil does a very good job of transferring our focus onto what's going to be the end times or when is the end times coming. Jesus says no, I gave you Revelation so you can have hope in me." 36:33

3. "Who are we to understand God and what he has for us and for his creation? It's not up to us. It's not up to us for us to know when. Maybe one day the Holy Spirit's going to be like, 'Here's the Book of Revelation,' and I'm going to preach on it for like a year and it's going to be great." 53:46

4. "I think the worst thing that a Christian can do is just keep the information to themselves. You're saved and now you're not going to tell anybody about it? The duty of a Christian is to tell others the good news. In that, we worship God." 51:26

5. "I get a fresh revelation of who Jesus is and I learn how to worship him. That's what we do with the Book of Revelation. We're just two guys that love the Bible and love Jesus." 52:24
