Living Waters of Grace for May 29th, 2026 · Living Waters of Grace / Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland Sunday Services

• 0:03
  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
• 0:08
  Wofford, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland,
• 0:12
  County of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  I'm here again at this place of brokenness and repentance.
• 0:41
  Revive me again, Lord, give me hope, give me victory, give me
• 0:44
  strength. Keep me from doing the things
• 0:47
  that I did last week that were unpleasing in your sight, making
• 0:50
  my life a drag for people that have been around me.
• 0:54
  You know, the Christian life is a life of being positive,
• 0:58
  excited, joyful, overcoming, and that comes by the word of God
• 1:04
  and confession of our sins to God and to one another.
• 1:08
  The church is designed to be a hospital for sinners because
• 1:12
  while the life of a Christian is supposed to be positive and
• 1:15
  joyful, we can also admit that it's a life of complete
• 1:19
  brokenness. We fully depend on God's grace
• 1:22
  and forgiveness to be able to live a life of hope, victory,
• 1:26
  and strength. Today, Pastor Clark teaches us
• 1:30
  that the life of joy we live as believers only comes through
• 1:34
  confession and forgiveness of one another, forgiveness that's
• 1:38
  brought through grace and understanding of God's love.
• 1:42
  Now here's Pastor Clark in Revelation Chapter 21 with
• 1:46
  today's edition of Living Waters of Grace.
• 1:49
  I trust the Holy Spirit is the one that's ministering to you
• 1:52
  today through my life and that you're listening to the word of
• 1:56
  God through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives and dwells
• 2:00
  in you. But how often do we forget that
• 2:03
  the Holy Spirit lives in us? We get up on Monday morning all
• 2:06
  ready to go and we're thinking, oh man, I got to do this and do
• 2:10
  that. And all this stuff's in front of
• 2:11
  us and we're wondering how we're going to do it and how we're
• 2:14
  going to make it. And somehow we get our weary
• 2:16
  bodies up and chug a couple gallons of coffee down our
• 2:19
  throat and we get in our car and we're starting to go and, and
• 2:23
  man, you know, it's just not really working that well.
• 2:25
  We don't feel real motivated and real excited and we're not
• 2:27
  anticipating God doing anything because we think God's up there
• 2:32
  somewhere. And the mystery is God is on his
• 2:35
  throne. And it's the same time he's in
• 2:37
  us. In him dwells the fullness of
• 2:40
  the Godhead bodily. I love an ancient prayer.
• 2:43
  It says, O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of truth
• 2:48
  are in all places, and fill us all things.
• 2:51
  Treasury of good things and giver of life, come and dwell in
• 2:54
  US and cleanse us from every stain and save our souls.
• 2:57
  O gracious Lord, you know the Holy Spirit resides in the body
• 3:01
  of Christ. He doesn't depart like he did in
• 3:04
  the Old Testament when David cried out to the Father.
• 3:07
  Please do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
• 3:09
  If you're in Christ and you belong to Christ, the Holy
• 3:12
  Spirit is in you until the day you're taken to be with Him in
• 3:15
  glory. But let's be honest this
• 3:18
  morning, do you ever forget that the Holy Spirit lives in you?
• 3:21
  Raise your hands. It's about every one of us.
• 3:25
  Now, if we go out to our car after church and we see the gas
• 3:30
  gauge on empty, we realize we have to go get fuel, right?
• 3:36
  We're not going to drive around and think that gas gauge is
• 3:38
  lying. It's not real.
• 3:41
  I have faith I'm going to keep driving because eventually the
• 3:44
  car is going to sputter and it's not going to have the capacity
• 3:47
  to go forward anymore. That's the way it is with us as
• 3:50
  Christians. But the good news is God, the
• 3:53
  Spirit doesn't diminish in US ever.
• 3:55
  He's the fullness of the Father dwelled and manifests in us.
• 4:00
  But we leak and the way we leak is sin, pride, self will,
• 4:05
  independence. And so all of a sudden we have
• 4:07
  this sense that we don't have any empowerment in our life.
• 4:11
  And that's when we have to repent and we just say, Lord,
• 4:14
  I've gotten off track somehow and I want to come back and get
• 4:17
  things right. And the way we get things right
• 4:20
  is humbling ourselves again and again and again and again and
• 4:24
  repenting again and again and again and again, and be restored
• 4:29
  to the Lord so he can restore to us the joy of our salvation.
• 4:32
  And as we humble ourselves, as we yield, as we repent, the
• 4:37
  Spirit of God begins to well up within us and begin to take
• 4:41
  control and begin to cause our senses to be under his
• 4:45
  leadership. And our mind begins to be
• 4:47
  renewed. And our heart has a joy and a
• 4:49
  strength and a stability in and all of a sudden we realize, like
• 4:53
  Paul, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens
• 4:56
  us. Amen.
• 4:58
  That's the good news. Now we have to realize that the
• 5:03
  Christian life has not been designed to live without the
• 5:06
  Spirit of God. It's foolishness.
• 5:08
  But we're told in the Scriptures that we quench the Spirit of
• 5:11
  God, we grieve the Spirit of God.
• 5:14
  And when we quench the Spirit of God, it's basically saying, I
• 5:17
  don't need your help. I can do this myself, which is
• 5:20
  pride and will fall. We can grieve the Holy Spirit.
• 5:24
  The Holy Spirit's saying, don't do that, I don't want you to act
• 5:28
  that way. I don't want you to do this or
• 5:30
  think that. And we're blowing them off and
• 5:33
  we're just going to do what we want to do.
• 5:35
  And it breaks his heart. We grieve him.
• 5:37
  And so all of a sudden, the sense of his presence is not
• 5:40
  alive. We don't sense his nearness.
• 5:43
  We don't sense his leading, his guidance, his blessing, and how
• 5:46
  foolish that is to, to live in a way that the Holy Spirit is not
• 5:52
  dominating our lives. And the purpose of the church,
• 5:56
  you know, isn't like Sunday, OK, got to go to church.
• 5:59
  You know, it's the right thing to do.
• 6:00
  And I, I show up, I come to church and I hope you come to
• 6:03
  church to be corrected and redirected all the time.
• 6:06
  My mind is brought back to the main focus of where it needs to
• 6:10
  be, and I get filled up with the presence of God, the Spirit of
• 6:13
  God. I have a stability in my life if
• 6:16
  I'm faithful in my study of God's Word and doing what God
• 6:20
  says to me to do in His Word when I want to be with
• 6:24
  believers, when I want to pray with Christians, when I want to
• 6:27
  be in the Word, when I want to gather.
• 6:29
  That's why Paul said don't forsake the assembling of
• 6:31
  yourselves. And so many think they can take
• 6:34
  church or leave it. I know what happened to my life
• 6:36
  when I started blowing church off.
• 6:38
  I mean, it messed my life up. It messed my marriage up.
• 6:42
  It messed my kids up. I mean, you got to be
• 6:45
  disciplined. You got to be focused.
• 6:47
  You got to be committed to the things that the Lord says he
• 6:51
  wants you to be committed to. He says these things to keep us
• 6:55
  protected. He says if you forsake the
• 6:57
  assembling of yourselves as a man, or some do, he says a root
• 7:02
  of bitterness will spring up among you and you'll start to
• 7:05
  get hard in your heart and you'll begin to start judging
• 7:09
  people and you'll think everybody's hypocrites.
• 7:11
  Why would I want to go to that church?
• 7:13
  They're a bunch of hypocrites. Well, we come to church because
• 7:16
  we know we're hypocrites, right? We repent of our hypocrisy.
• 7:20
  We ask God to change us and to break us and to cleanse us and
• 7:23
  to fill us so that we become more like Christ.
• 7:25
  We don't come to church because we're perfect, do we?
• 7:29
  The church is designed to be a hospital for sinners, not a
• 7:32
  museum for the Saints. The early church understood that
• 7:37
  the church was a place of restoration to heal broken lives
• 7:42
  that have been destroyed through sin and have been ruined through
• 7:44
  sin. That's why we have an altar call
• 7:46
  here every week. It's not a tradition.
• 7:48
  It's a place we're coming down lame spiritually.
• 7:51
  We're coming down hobbling to the front.
• 7:53
  Maybe we don't look like that physically, but inwardly we are.
• 7:56
  We're saying, Lord, I'm here again at this place of love,
• 7:59
  brokenness and repentance. Revive me again, Lord, give me
• 8:03
  hope, give me victory, give me strength, keep me from doing the
• 8:07
  things that I did last week that were unpleasing in your sight,
• 8:10
  making my life a drag for people that have been around me.
• 8:15
  You know, the Christian life is a life of being positive,
• 8:19
  excited, joyful, overcoming, and that comes by the Word of God
• 8:24
  and confession of our sins to God and to one another.
• 8:29
  But even though the Spirit of God dwells within us, which we
• 8:32
  all know, we don't grasp this like we will one day when we see
• 8:37
  the Holy Trinity before our very eyes in the throne room of
• 8:42
  heaven. Everything today that I'm
• 8:44
  speaking about to you and you're listening.
• 8:47
  You have to receive it by faith. I can't prove anything to you
• 8:51
  other than my own life hopefully being somewhat of an example and
• 8:54
  yours to me. I can look in your lies and see
• 8:57
  Christ alive. And the Bible says we're living
• 9:00
  epistles known and read of men. It isn't hard to to know when
• 9:03
  you meet a Christian, is it? And you just know by the way
• 9:06
  they act, the way they talk, the smile on their face, their
• 9:08
  gratitude, their gratefulness, their thankfulness, their
• 9:11
  humility, it just dawns on you that this person is a believer.
• 9:15
  And you know what it's like when you're with someone who doesn't
• 9:17
  have the Spirit of God in them. Matter of fact, Paul says their
• 9:21
  spirit bears witness with our spirit that we're the sons and
• 9:25
  the daughters of God. You know, when someone comes to
• 9:28
  the church here the first time, I've never seen them before.
• 9:31
  I feel immediate connection when I know that the Spirit of God's
• 9:35
  in him. It's like I've known in my whole
• 9:36
  life, they're my brothers, They're my sisters.
• 9:39
  And I might not know where they live or what their names are yet
• 9:42
  or what their interests are or what their likes or dislikes
• 9:45
  are. But there's this fellowship in
• 9:47
  this community of oneness that occurs by the Spirit of God that
• 9:51
  tells us his Spirit bears witness with our Spirit that we
• 9:54
  belong to Him. There's no division and the body
• 9:58
  of Christ from God's perspective.
• 10:00
  There's no caste system. It's all the oneness and the
• 10:05
  fullness of God in Christ. Now Hebrews tells us, though,
• 10:08
  that faith is a substance of things hoped for.
• 10:12
  So today we're learning about what we're hoping for, what God
• 10:15
  has promised to us. But it also tells us that faith
• 10:19
  is the evidence of things not seen.
• 10:22
  And as the apostle Paul said, I know whom I've believed in, and
• 10:28
  I'm persuaded that he is able to keep that which I've committed
• 10:33
  unto him against that day. Isn't that awesome?
• 10:37
  The faith of that man in his example to us, where we too can
• 10:41
  say, I know whom I've believed in, and I'm persuaded that he is
• 10:47
  able to keep that which I've committed unto him against that
• 10:51
  day. 2nd Corinthians 57 says we walk by faith, not sight.
• 10:58
  If you turn over to 1st John chapter 2, first John chapter 2
• 11:03
  verse 28 and now little children abide in him, that when he
• 11:08
  appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him.
• 11:11
  It is coming. What a warning.
• 11:14
  If you're in a situation right now you shouldn't be in and
• 11:17
  you're living in a way you know you shouldn't, don't do it
• 11:20
  anymore. He doesn't want you to be taken
• 11:23
  by surprise. He wants you to have confidence
• 11:26
  and not be ashamed when he comes.
• 11:29
  If you know that he is righteous, you know that
• 11:32
  everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.
• 11:35
  And I love that illustration. Practicing righteousness.
• 11:38
  If you're an athlete here today, in order to be a good athlete,
• 11:41
  you have to practice. You just can't say I want to be
• 11:43
  a good basketball player and, and go to the coach and say,
• 11:46
  well, just call me. Tell me what time the game is
• 11:49
  and I'll be here and I'll show up and I'll play.
• 11:51
  You'll get out there. You'll be a fool.
• 11:52
  You won't know the plays you'll mess up.
• 11:54
  You'll your shots will you won't go in the net.
• 11:57
  You'll everything will be wrong. You got to practice to get good
• 12:01
  or proficient, hard practice, discipline, sacrifice, and
• 12:05
  that's what it is in the Christian life.
• 12:07
  Righteousness is sacrifice. Practicing righteousness is
• 12:11
  forcing yourself to do the things that God says you're to
• 12:14
  do, whether you want to do them or not, because they're good for
• 12:17
  you. When he says pray without
• 12:19
  ceasing, I don't really feel like praying.
• 12:21
  Pray anyway because God's going to give you strength and bless
• 12:24
  you because you're doing what He tells you to do.
• 12:26
  Love your enemies. Pray for those who despite for
• 12:29
  Lord, I don't want to love my enemies.
• 12:31
  Do it anyway. Use your will to do what God
• 12:35
  says even though you don't feel like it.
• 12:37
  As you begin to pray for your enemies, you'll begin to love
• 12:40
  your enemies. You know, perfect love casts out
• 12:43
  fear. We were talking about that a
• 12:45
  little bit last night. When God's love is manifested in
• 12:48
  us the way He designed it to be, there's nothing we fear.
• 12:51
  There's nothing we worry about. There's nothing that we should
• 12:54
  be struggling with because we know God is greater than
• 12:58
  anything we have to face. And then He tells us in first
• 13:01
  John chapter 3 verse one, behold what manner of love the Father
• 13:05
  has bestowed on us that we should be called the children of
• 13:09
  God. What a privilege.
• 13:11
  Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know
• 13:14
  Him. Beloved, now we are the children
• 13:17
  of God. It has not yet been revealed
• 13:19
  what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we
• 13:24
  shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
• 13:28
  One day we will see Him as He is, and it says in verse 3.
• 13:33
  And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as
• 13:38
  he is pure. It's like, man, guys, whenever
• 13:41
  you were going to take your future bride out in your first
• 13:45
  date, you didn't know you were going to marry that person at
• 13:47
  the time. But boy, think about how
• 13:49
  everything was perfect, right? The car was clean, the gas tank
• 13:54
  was full. Unless you had ulterior motives,
• 13:56
  right? You wanted to run out of gas and
• 14:00
  then you had an excuse. So I guess we just got to talk
• 14:02
  for a little while, right as you can move over to put get the
• 14:04
  guts to put your arm around them.
• 14:07
  But you know, our clothes were clean.
• 14:10
  We made sure we had breath mints.
• 14:11
  I mean, we had everything covered.
• 14:13
  We made sure we had money in our wallet to go to the restaurant
• 14:16
  or the movie. I mean, everything was thought
• 14:18
  out before we had that date. Well, how much more we're the
• 14:22
  bride of Christ, our our king is coming the opportunity we have
• 14:26
  right now to purify ourself as he is pure take out of your
• 14:30
  house what's in the house that shouldn't be there.
• 14:32
  Go through the magazine rack and see if Jesus came today and he
• 14:36
  saw these magazines, he would ask me what in the world of
• 14:39
  these here? What's the get rid of them, the
• 14:41
  books, the videos, anything in the house that isn't pleasing to
• 14:45
  the Lord and more importantly, what's in your spiritual house,
• 14:49
  whatever's in your heart, any sin, anything that's unclean,
• 14:56
  allow the Lord to purify, but he's the one that purifies you.
• 15:01
  You just submit to him and say, Lord, this has to go.
• 15:06
  I want it to go. And each one of us should be
• 15:09
  from week to week in this fellowship getting more holy and
• 15:13
  more holy and more holy, right? More pure, more pure, more pure
• 15:19
  by His grace, by the grace of God.
• 15:23
  For now we see in a mirror. It says in First Corinthians 13
• 15:26
  verse 12, dimly, but one day we will see face to face.
• 15:32
  I love the song. It is well with my soul.
• 15:35
  O Lord, haste today when my face shall be sight.
• 15:39
  The clouds be rolled back as a scroll.
• 15:42
  The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend.
• 15:45
  Even so, it is well with my soul as we begin to conclude in this
• 15:52
  wonderful glorious chapter of Revelation.
• 15:56
  We see in verse 6 where Jesus has the one who claims this
• 16:01
  about himself. He says also in Revelation 18
• 16:05
  the same thing He said to me. It is done.
• 16:07
  I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
• 16:11
  I will give of the fountains of the water of life freely to him
• 16:16
  who thirsts. It says in verse 7, He who
• 16:19
  overcome shall inherit all things, and I will be his God
• 16:23
  and he shall be my Son. We studied about victory several
• 16:27
  weeks ago. We're not going to lose as we
• 16:29
  trust in Christ, because we overcome sin.
• 16:33
  We overcome failings through the blood of the Lamb, as the
• 16:38
  martyrs overcame, it says in Revelation.
• 16:41
  They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our
• 16:45
  testimony. When we stand before the Lord on
• 16:47
  that glorious day, we stand not in our righteousness.
• 16:51
  We stand because of his blood. Amen.
• 16:53
  We stand because he has made us righteous.
• 16:55
  Our righteous standing is because of Jesus Christ and him
• 16:58
  alone. And what's the word of our
• 17:00
  testimony? We won't be saying, well Lord, I
• 17:02
  did this and I did that and I helped this and I did.
• 17:06
  We won't need to say anything because all glory be to the
• 17:09
  Lord, whatever privilege we had in this short life to live for
• 17:13
  His purposes, our all because of his grace.
• 17:16
  The unbeliever though will be the one that will be standing
• 17:19
  there saying why I did this, I did that, I did this, and the
• 17:23
  Bible says our righteousness, our good works are like filthy
• 17:27
  rags. It tells us not by works of
• 17:30
  righteousness, which we have done in Titus, but according to
• 17:33
  his mercy, He has saved us. In verse 8, again, the reminder
• 17:38
  of what happened in verse chapter 20, the eternal state of
• 17:42
  the unbelieving reminding us this has already happened.
• 17:46
  Of course, in the 20th chapter when it says in verse 15,
• 17:50
  whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast in the
• 17:53
  lake of fire. But these things are written
• 17:55
  because we're still here and some of us have an opportunity
• 17:59
  to still get saved. It says that cowardly, if you're
• 18:03
  here today, unbelieving, abominable murders, sexually
• 18:07
  immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, liars shall have their part in
• 18:13
  the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the
• 18:17
  second death. You all have an opportunity this
• 18:21
  week wherever you go to bring to people in all walks of life the
• 18:27
  ministry of reconciliation. And that's really the job of the
• 18:30
  church in these last days is to call people to repentance.
• 18:34
  The church is not a social organization.
• 18:38
  It's a spiritual Organism designed by God to edify and
• 18:44
  build us up in the strength and faith of the person of Jesus
• 18:47
  Christ. And it's also instituted by
• 18:50
  Christ to be the foundation and descending agency to send
• 18:56
  believers like us out into the world to beg people to come to
• 19:00
  Christ. And you might say, well,
• 19:02
  begging, isn't that a little bit drastic?
• 19:05
  If we could see the lake of fire before us today and see our
• 19:08
  loved ones or our friends standing on the edge of it, we
• 19:11
  would do everything in our power to pull them away from that.
• 19:14
  Just like the firefighter when he hears the alarm and he goes
• 19:17
  into the house and the burning building and the mother's
• 19:19
  outside screaming, saying, my son's still in the house, My
• 19:22
  son's still in the house. A firefighter doesn't have to
• 19:24
  think, well, yeah, maybe I might risk my life or whatever he goes
• 19:28
  in risking his life to find that child wherever he's hid and pull
• 19:33
  him out to safety, risking his own life.
• 19:36
  And that's what we should be like, risking our pride.
• 19:39
  What if they think we're nuts? What if they think we're stupid?
• 19:43
  What if they think we're overreacting?
• 19:45
  Guys, we're not overreacting, are we?
• 19:47
  Hell is real. It's forever.
• 19:49
  And I got an e-mail from Gary and Kathy this morning.
• 19:52
  We've been praying for them, their intercessors at Calvary
• 19:55
  Chapel Chino Hills for our church.
• 19:57
  We'll be moving out here soon. Her dad has been ill.
• 20:00
  You've been reading about it, praying for her.
• 20:02
  Not real sure of his salvation. They shared with him, prayed for
• 20:06
  him and he passed away last night and they're broken hearted
• 20:10
  that they just don't know. They don't have that assurance
• 20:13
  that his soul was OK. My prayer is that somehow in the
• 20:16
  times that they talked to him that they were used by the Lord
• 20:20
  where Ray just said I believe and only eternity in heaven and
• 20:24
  Christ will reveal that one day. But this is what Paul says in
• 20:28
  conclusion as we begin to make our way to the altar and pray,
• 20:33
  if you want to pray this morning, Second Corinthians
• 20:36
  chapter 5 verse 17 says if anyone is in Christ, he's a new
• 20:40
  creation. Old things are passed away.
• 20:43
  Behold, all things have become new.
• 20:45
  If you've been born again here today, you know this is true.
• 20:48
  It's the greatest thing that could ever happen in a human
• 20:51
  being's life. But now Paul begins to speak
• 20:55
  about those who are still on the edge.
• 20:58
  All things are of God who has reconciled us to himself through
• 21:01
  Jesus Christ. He's given to us a ministry of
• 21:04
  reconciliation. That's the good news of the
• 21:06
  gospel, that Christ died for our sins according to the
• 21:10
  Scriptures. That he was buried the third day
• 21:13
  He rose again from the dead and to send us into heaven and
• 21:16
  sitteth at the right hand of the Father.
• 21:18
  That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to
• 21:21
  Himself, not imputing or holding the human race accountable for
• 21:26
  their trespasses, but has committed to us a word of
• 21:29
  reconciliation. So we have to go out and tell
• 21:31
  people, hey, I got good news for you.
• 21:33
  You're a Sinner. What do you mean?
• 21:34
  That's good news? How dare you call me a Sinner?
• 21:37
  No, listen to me. It's a good news.
• 21:38
  You're a Sinner. But Christ isn't going to hold
• 21:41
  your sin against you. He took it for you.
• 21:43
  What? Yeah, He took your sin for you.
• 21:46
  Well, anybody knows. How can that be true?
• 21:49
  Someone would take all my guilt and all the things I've done
• 21:52
  wrong in my life and take them on themselves for for me.
• 21:58
  Well, that's what Jesus has done.
• 22:00
  He shed his blood and he died on the cross for all those who will
• 22:05
  believe it's finished. He said his sacrifice is
• 22:10
  perfect. His sacrifice is complete and
• 22:14
  his whole, as he said, for God so loved this world that he gave
• 22:20
  his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
• 22:25
  should not perish, but have everlasting life.
• 22:28
  The Philippian jailer said to Paul, What must I do to be
• 22:34
  saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus
• 22:36
  Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Now then, we are ambassadors for
• 22:41
  Christ as though God were pleading through US and pleading
• 22:45
  his begging, imploring. Today is a day of salvation.
• 22:49
  If you hear his voice, don't hold off.
• 22:52
  Don't keep living in a life that's going to destroy you and
• 22:55
  those you love. Come to Christ and say, Lord,
• 22:58
  I've been kidding myself. I've been thinking I'm a
• 23:01
  Christian, but I'm not. There's no way because my life
• 23:04
  doesn't represent. I'm a follower of you.
• 23:06
  I live as a follower of the devil.
• 23:08
  Lord, give me grace and humility to admit that before you this
• 23:13
  day. And we beg, as Paul said today,
• 23:16
  we plead, be reconciled to God. We implore you on Christ's
• 23:21
  behalf, be reconciled to God. Be made right with God, be
• 23:25
  saved. For it says in verse 21, For he
• 23:28
  made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become
• 23:34
  the righteousness of God in him. What a deal.
• 23:38
  What a deal that God has made. He has made it possible because
• 23:44
  He's the one that's never sin, to become the bearer of sin for
• 23:49
  you and me, that we might become as He is, the righteousness of
• 23:54
  God. This has been Living Waters of
• 23:59
  Grace with Pastor Clark. We're going through the
• 24:01
  challenging and also intriguing Book of Revelation.
• 24:05
  Whether you're a fan of reading ahead in books of fiction,
• 24:08
  there's such a benefit to reading ahead in the Bible to
• 24:11
  read about how it all ends. But in an interesting turn of
• 24:15
  events, the Book of Revelation is not really the end, but
• 24:20
  rather the beginning. It's the end of life as we know
• 24:23
  it here on earth, but there's so much to look forward to for what
• 24:28
  comes after all the judgement of the earth and those who reject
• 24:31
  God. There's a lot to work through,
• 24:34
  and it can be heartbreaking to read through the intense
• 24:38
  judgements and wrath that will come on those who hate God with
• 24:42
  all their might. The thing is, God has given
• 24:45
  chance upon chance to these people.
• 24:47
  They don't want it. So the outcome is that there are
• 24:51
  judgments and consequences for those who've rejected the good
• 24:55
  news and the gift of salvation that's offered through Jesus's
• 24:59
  death and resurrection. Are you one who has heard about
• 25:03
  these things but doesn't really want it because you want to live
• 25:07
  life on your terms? Trust me, living for Jesus is so
• 25:13
  much better. That doesn't mean it will be
• 25:15
  easy, but as you listen and read through Revelation with us,
• 25:19
  you'll come to a stark realization that you don't want
• 25:22
  to be on earth when the apocalypse happens.
• 25:26
