Don’t Worry, History is Not Out ofControl.Revelation chapter four and five is a glimpse into heaven, right into the very throne-room of God. It’s not sometime away out in the future, it is something that is happening in this age, right now, in glory. We’re going to look at chapter 5, in three lessons, and as we progress, we will learn something about the relationship between our praise, here on earth, and the praise of the heavenly hosts, around the throne of God.In this sermon, recorded live at Ballymacashon Church on Lord's Day 19th June 2022, we see:-A Scroll, in the right hand of God - a scroll which no man can open - it's the plan of God - our history and destiny, - and what awful consequences if it cannot ever be unveiled...A Lion, the Lion of Judah, the mighty conqueror, who is the only One able to open the scroll. But HOW will be open it?A Lamb, the Lamb of Calvary, slain, who fulfils God's eternal plan of redemption in His death for sinners at the cross. This Lamb who died is STANDING, - He LIVES, and he SEES right into our souls, our hearts - he knows us perfectly.READ THE NOTES HERE and leave comments.

Catechism Class: LD21B Q54 Holy Catholic Church 2Our catechist asks, in Q.54 What do you believe concerning the holy catholic Christian church? The answer we must give is, I believe that the Son of God, out of the whole human race, from the beginning of the world to its end, gathers, defends, and preserves for himself, by his Spirit and Word, in the unity of the true faith, a church chosen to everlasting life. And I believe that I am and forever shall remain a living member of it.The answer to the catechism question is divided into two parts, Christ’s relationship to his church, and then, - my personal involvement and part in that church. In this lesson, let’s begin the first part of that answer, and see how the Lord Jesus is drawing his church to himself, - how he is BUILDING his church.Read the NOTES HERE.
