Pastor Kevin looks at Revelation 13 with its reference to the two beasts. Satan raises up individuals and institutions to oppose God and His people. We must choose where our allegiance lies: with the Lamb, or with him who stands against the Lamb.
Sermons on Persecution
Pastor Kevin takes a look at the measuring of the temple in Revelation 11:1-2, as well as examining the current interest in rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem in light of Ezekiel’s vision. The Lord knows those who are His true worshipers and protects them in the midst of whatever persecution they may face.
Pastor Kevin discusses the 144,000 in Revelation 7 and the servants of God who are sealed. Those who belong to God are protected from the wrath of His judgment on earth and insured of His reward in eternity.
Pastor Kevin continues his series in Revelation with a look at the Lord’s message to the church at Smyrna. Are we steadfast in our faithfulness to Christ even in the midst of opposition? Do we have a martyr’s faith?
Pastor Kevin continues his look at Jesus’ Farewell Discourse and His warning of conflict with the world. There is a cost of discipleship. Anyone who loves Christ and lives in obedience to His commands will inevitably run head-on into the disfavor of a world who is in open rebellion against God.
This morning, Dr. Pat shares a ministry update for News Service 2000 and the status of numerous brothers and sisters in persecuted countries.
Pastor Kevin continues the series in 1 Thessalonians with a look at the reality of opposition in Christ and the need to remain ‘Unshaken in Conflict.’ The way of Christ is the way of conflict and opposition, but those who remain steadfast find reward.
Pastor Kevin finishes his study of the Beatitudes with the final beatitude given in the discourse: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake . . .” When we face opposition for the cause of Christ, we are blessed.
