Preaching the gospel is not safe. Holding fast to the Word of God is a dangerous act in the enemy-occupied world in which we live. We saw an example of such dangers even this week in the news. A Church in Portland had rocks thrown through its windows on Thursday night. An email was sent out later to local media outlets claiming that the people who did it opposed the Church because of its belief that homosexuality is a sin. For those of us who came to the “Love Costs Everything” simulcast a few weeks ago, we know that such an attack is actually mild in comparison to what is taking place in other parts of the world. Should we be surprised when a local Church has to face such challenges? Should the persecution of believers be unexpected?
REVELATION REVIEW: Introduction and the cycles of seven
I. Introduction:
I want to spend some time over the next few weeks on Sunday night reviewing what we have been discussing on Sunday mornings concerning the book of Revelation. A couple of our Sunday School classes are doing similar things, so this may involve introducing some new ideas as well as looking at other end-time passages in the New Testament. Also, I would like to have a different person share their testimony each night so that we can hear how the Lord has brought us to trust in Christ. Tonight, I simply want to review my approach the three cycles of seven (seven seals, seven trumpets, seven bowls of wrath).
