Whether you wept this morning or twenty years ago, we are all united by the wounded, teary sadness that is life. We cry tears for different kinds of pain, but we’re all crying. We can endure today’s nightmares because of knowing with certainty the new heavens and new earth WILL dawn. Revelation 21:1-8, Nightmare, Dawn 2012-05-14T01:36:00-08:00 http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/12_05_06__Revelation_20 2.mp3 http://www.pearlchurch.com/about/sermons/the_great_white_throne/#When:02:28:00Z The Great White Throne--you don’t want to be there. But if you depart this life without the Savior, you will be headed there to be judged. Much better to “throw your snowball of faith to the grace side” and arrive instead at the Judgment Seat of Christ to be rewarded. Revelation 20, the great white throne 2012-05-07T02:28:00-08:00 http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/12_4_22__Revelation_18_19_8 1.mp3 http://www.pearlchurch.com/about/sermons/wedding_bells_toll/#When:20:04:00Z How do we understand the economic collapses of empires? What are we to do about them? How might they impact our lives? Today a bell tolls, but what do you hear? Revelation 18-19:8, bells toll 2012-04-22T20:04:00-08:00 http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/12_04_15__Revelation_17 2.mp3 http://www.pearlchurch.com/about/sermons/harlots_becoming_brides/#When:02:40:00Z No one sets out to be a harlot. Yet, many, without realizing it, become the very thing: a harlot. A Lamb comes to set you free. A Lamb comes to give you life. A Lamb comes to make you his bride. Revelation 17, Lamb, Harlot 2012-04-16T02:40:00-08:00 http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/12_04_08__Easter.mp3 http://www.pearlchurch.com/about/sermons/it_is_easter/#When:01:10:00Z Every Easter Sunday we hear someone declare "Christ is risen" to which we all respond "He is risen indeed!" Why? Do we mean it? What exactly are we saying? Is this just meaningless tradition–rote banter? Certainly not! The great Easter bell is ringing today and it demands a celebration. Easter, He has Risen 2012-04-09T01:10:00-08:00 http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/12_4_1__Revelation_16.mp3 http://www.pearlchurch.com/about/sermons/happy_in_judgement/#When:03:03:00Z Our response to tribulation–maybe even God's judgment, is the difference between falling asleep or staying awake. Jesus slips into the bowls that are his judgment and exhorts, "Stay awake." Revelation 16, judgement 2012-04-02T03:03:00-08:00 http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/12_3_25__Revelation_15.mp3 http://www.pearlchurch.com/about/sermons/singing_like_moses/#When:01:02:00Z As the bowl judgments are prepared, followers of Jesus celebrate. "Whew! God has judged the wicked, and by His actions and attributes, we have been spared. Grace is mine and vengeance is His!" Revelation 15, singing like Moses 2012-03-26T01:02:00-08:00 http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/12_03_18_Revelation_14_14to20.mp3 http://www.pearlchurch.com/about/sermons/hope_in_tragedy/#When:21:51:00Z There is mercy today. There is grace today. There is hope today. Today, the slain lamb calls: "Cling to me. Drink my cup. Live."

May we, looking at these images, commit anew to endure for Christ's sake.

The first beast (Antichrist) joins with the second beast (False Prophet) to force a lose/lose Sophie’s Choice: receive the Mark of the Beast, 666, or die. When the power of government shakes hands with the propaganda of religion, an iron fist of persecution is formed. Lent, Revelation 2012-03-05T00:03:00-08:00
