Revelation Sermon Series
In God’s kindness, Kenwood Baptist Church voted to call me as their pastor of preaching the last Sunday of March, 2009. The first book I preached through was the book of Revelation. While some might question the wisdom of jumping right into apocalyptic literature, the book of Revelation pronounces a blessing on those who read, …
Crazy Love for Radicals?
Some think we should sell everything and give it all away, or that we should be constantly rearranging the furniture of our lives. It’s almost as though they think not having an experience like Abram’s–where God calls you to leave everything and go to the land he will show you–is a lack of integrity or …
The Millennium
I recently had the privilege of expositing Revelation 20 at Kenwood Baptist Church. The main point of the text?

That the Generations to Come Might Praise the Lord
On January 31 it was my privilege to preach at Kemp Road Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio. I attempted to set the role of the family in the wider context of God’s purposes in Old Testament theology, moving from the father’s role in Deuteronomy 6 to the king’s role as a father to his people …

The Beast and the False Prophet
I hadn’t seen this video on the prosperity gospel before I preached Revelation 13:11-18, but it is relevant. Here are my last two sermons on Revelation: Revelation 13:1-10 keeps us from being deceived by Satan so that we can persevere to the end in the true faith. and Revelation 13:11-18 gives us wisdom to distinguish …

Justin has presented another of Sam’s arguments, which Sam concludes as follows: In summary, when we look at all other relevant occurrences …

Response to JT on What Premillennialists Must Believe
