Sermon from May 24


Here Am I. Send Me!

Isaiah 6: 1 - 8


1. King Uzziah was a good king of Israel who died in 740 B.C. The ancients reckoned time by events.
2. The seraphs covered their faces to shield them from God's glory. They covered their feet to show their modesty or humility. Revelation 4: 8 - 11
3. This passage emphasizes God's complete power, glory and holiness.
4. When we see the holiness of God, we realize that we are sinners who are not worthy to be in his presence.
5. The coal came from the altar, reminding us that sins are paid for by sacrifice.
6. It is God who makes us clean and allows us to be used by him.
7. The result of being cleansed by God is that we want to tell others.

Sermon from May 17


Thirty Minutes in Heaven

Revelation 21

1. When we arrive in heaven, we will be back in paradise.
2. In heaven, the perfection that we can barely imagine will be reality. Everything about it will be brand new.
3. No one in heaven will ever harm you. No one who has not accepted Christ will be there.
4. The description of Jerusalem is loaded with symbolism: People will arrive from all directions. It is big enough for everyone. It is built on the foundation of the apostles.
5. The city is beautiful. It's walls have every color. The streets are made of pure gold.
6. There is no temple because God will walk with us and no need for light because God is there.
7. We must accept Christ as Savior to ever get to see it.
