Sermon of the Week, Cornerstone Christian Center

The great story of the marriage of Christ and His Bride and the conquering of all of God's enemies.

God’s plan from the beginning—the Great Consummation—is to provide a bride for His Son. All things will wrap up with the marriage of the Lamb.

The Antichrist will promote a one world religion, but it will be torn down. The Antichrist will eventually want all worship to himself. Ultimately he and his city, Babylon, will be defeated, and Christ will be victorious.

Seven bowls of judgement are poured out upon the earth because of the rebellion of Satan and mankind. God draws the nations to the Valley of Armageddon and there He defeats the enemies of His people.

In the second half of the Tribulation Period, Satan will be cast out of heaven and release vengeance on Israel and on the earth. This will be his final grasp, and Christ will inherit all for which He came.

Seven trumpets are blown by seven angels in heaven. The first four blasts release physical chaos on the earth. The last three release the “Three Woes “ on the earth which are the spiritual war on the earth.

John sees the vision of Jesus taking the scroll out of the Father’s right hand. It was the title deed to the earth. Christ someday will inherit all that is rightfully His as the Great Redeemer.

So many of us wonder what is holding us back from a deeper spiritual connection with God. Many times the act of repentance is viewed as a legalistic component of organized religion. However, intentional study of scripture reveals that repentance is a key discipline for a more meaningful connection with God.

This small church is commended by the Lord for being faithful in words, in deeds and in faith. Because they were faithful over little, God would give them eternal blessings.

Jesus bluntly tells the church of Sardis they are dead, and they need to wake up! Repentance and finishing their mission are the only solutions.

The Church of Thyatira faced the challenges of living in a culture that was full of idolatry and immorality. But God promised them that if they would overcome, He would give them the Morning Star. This is a promise that in a dark time, Jesus would shine brightly for them and through them.

Sometimes we can fall into the false thinking that there is so much to change before we can truly step in to the fullness of Christ. But it is only our understanding that needs to accept our fullness already bought?

The Church of Pergamum held fast to the faith, but some had allowed immorality and idolatry to enter in. For the overcomer, Jesus promises the blessings of His presence and an invitation to His table.

The Church of Smyrna was poor because of persecution, but it was rich in faith. Jeuus promises them the Crown of Life if they are faithful even to the point of death.
