Living Waters of Grace for May 28th, 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
  God in his mercy and his grace, at the end of time there will be
• 0:40
  no more remembrance of the former things for the former
• 0:44
  shall not be remembered or ever come to mind.
• 0:48
  But now we live in this time when someone dies that we love
• 0:51
  and we're not sure of their eternal destiny.
• 0:54
  And it's very, very difficult. All I can hope and pray for in
• 0:58
  the few last moments of a soul's life that they hear once again
• 1:03
  Jesus saying, come to me, the Lord reaching out to them one
• 1:07
  last time. It's a sad thought to think that
• 1:10
  the ones we hold dear in our hearts may not make it to
• 1:13
  heaven. We pray that the Lord can draw
• 1:16
  them near so that we will see them again.
• 1:18
  We hold on to this worry and often wonder if we will be
• 1:22
  waiting in angst for them today. Pastor Clark teaches us the
• 1:26
  beautiful measure of God's mercy and grace.
• 1:29
  God will give us a new mind that will not allow us to remember
• 1:33
  the former things of this world. There will be no worry or
• 1:36
  heartache over things we cannot control, only joy.
• 1:41
  Now here's Pastor Clark in Revelation Chapter 21 with
• 1:44
  today's edition of Living Waters of Grace.
• 1:48
  Revelation Chapter 21 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
• 1:55
  for the 1st heaven and the first earth had passed away.
• 1:59
  Also there was no more sea. Then I, John saw the holy city,
• 2:04
  New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as
• 2:08
  a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from
• 2:12
  heaven saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men,
• 2:17
  and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people.
• 2:20
  God Himself will be with them and be their God, and God shall
• 2:25
  wipe away every tear from their eyes.
• 2:27
  There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
• 2:32
  There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed
• 2:35
  away. Then he who sat on the throne
• 2:37
  said, Behold, I make all things new.
• 2:40
  And he said to me, write, for these words are true and
• 2:43
  faithful. And he said to me, It is done.
• 2:46
  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
• 2:50
  I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him
• 2:53
  who thirst. He who overcomes shall inherit
• 2:56
  all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
• 3:00
  But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable murders, sexually
• 3:06
  immoral sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their
• 3:10
  part in the lake, which burns with fire and brimstone, which
• 3:14
  is a second death. If you'd also turn over to
• 3:18
  Second Peter, this is a prelude to this section of scripture.
• 3:21
  This will shed a little bit more light on what's actually
• 3:24
  transpiring here in this section of Revelation, Second Peter,
• 3:29
  chapter 3. It's wonderful that the
• 3:31
  scriptures interpret the Scriptures right?
• 3:33
  We don't have to depend on man's wisdom or his insight in regard
• 3:37
  to understanding what the Word of God teaches.
• 3:39
  We study line upon line, precept upon precept.
• 3:42
  And so we'll see here already in Peter as he's prophesying and
• 3:46
  Speaking of the things that are yet to come, the things that
• 3:50
  we're still waiting for starting in verse 7.
• 3:53
  But the heavens and the earth, which are now preserved by the
• 3:56
  same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and
• 4:00
  perdition of ungodly men. But beloved, do not forget this
• 4:03
  one thing, that with the Lord one day is 1000 years, and 1000
• 4:08
  years is 1 day. The Lord is not slack concerning
• 4:11
  His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering
• 4:14
  toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all
• 4:18
  should come to repentance. Verse 10.
• 4:21
  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief.
• 4:23
  In the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a
• 4:26
  great noise, and the elements will melt with fervor and heat,
• 4:29
  both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned
• 4:32
  up. Therefore, since all these
• 4:35
  things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to
• 4:38
  be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and
• 4:42
  hastening the coming day of God, because of which the heavens
• 4:46
  will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt
• 4:49
  with fervor, heat. Nevertheless, we, according to
• 4:52
  this promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which
• 4:56
  righteousness dwells. So we start in chapter 21 today,
• 5:00
  and you might wonder, well, how does this happen?
• 5:02
  What happened to the old heaven and the old earth?
• 5:05
  Well, we've just read in Peter that they're going to be
• 5:07
  destroyed. God will burn them with fire,
• 5:10
  and He will start a brand new civilization in the Kingdom of
• 5:14
  heaven made-up of His people who have believed in Him since the
• 5:18
  beginning of time. There'll be no sin in the
• 5:20
  Kingdom of heaven, no more suffering, no more pain.
• 5:24
  How different that is from what we read about in the Garden of
• 5:27
  Eden in Genesis chapter 3 verse 19.
• 5:30
  It says in the sweat of your face ye shall eat bread till you
• 5:33
  return to the ground, for out of it you were taken.
• 5:36
  For dust you are, and the dust she shall return.
• 5:40
  Take a look at your body for a moment.
• 5:41
  Just look at your skin. Just hold your skin.
• 5:45
  It's hard to believe our minds can't grasp this, but this is
• 5:49
  all going to turn to dust one day.
• 5:51
  Somehow we're wired to think that this body in its present
• 5:55
  state is going to just go on and on and on.
• 5:57
  But it isn't. As we know, as we attend Funeral
• 6:00
  services of loved ones and friends, we we look at them in
• 6:03
  the casket or the cremation bowl, they're already dust.
• 6:07
  And we always feel sorry for people when they pass away.
• 6:12
  I don't know why we feel sorry for people, Christians who pass
• 6:15
  away because they've passed from death unto life.
• 6:18
  They're in glorified waiting for their glorified bodies.
• 6:20
  They're in a temporal body waiting for their final
• 6:23
  resurrection. But we stand around and and we
• 6:26
  lament the passing of someone, not realizing that it one day
• 6:29
  it's going to be us or it's inevitable, right?
• 6:32
  All of us. And Genesis clearly shows us
• 6:36
  that this is what has transpired because of our sin, because of
• 6:40
  the fall. Revelation verse 4, chapter 21
• 6:44
  says, But God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
• 6:48
  There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
• 6:52
  There shall be no more pain. For the former, things have
• 6:55
  passed away. The most difficult thing for us
• 6:58
  as human beings to have to go through is having someone we
• 7:01
  love pass away, isn't it? We cry, we grieve.
• 7:06
  The grieving sometimes goes on for days, weeks, months, years.
• 7:10
  There's sorrow, there's a sense of loss.
• 7:13
  But in this Kingdom, God will wipe away all of our tears.
• 7:17
  There won't be any more physical death.
• 7:20
  There won't be any sorrow. There'll be no more crying.
• 7:25
  There'll be no more pain. For the former, things have
• 7:29
  passed away after the fall of man because of sin.
• 7:34
  Today we are living in a present state of sorrow.
• 7:39
  We're living in a present state of pain and of loss and of
• 7:44
  crying and how we should long as the apostles and the end of the
• 7:49
  Book of Revelation when it says Maranatha, come quickly, Lord
• 7:53
  Jesus, why would we want to see the coming of the Lord prolong
• 7:58
  longer when we see the suffering on the face of the earth in
• 8:01
  these days that we live, we should all look forward to this
• 8:04
  day. Even creation longs for this
• 8:07
  day, the trees and the everything that's been created
• 8:10
  by God over there in Romans chapter 8.
• 8:12
  Turn there for a minute Romans chapter 8, it tells you how the
• 8:17
  creation is also suffering, waiting for this glory to be
• 8:21
  revealed. For the apostle Paul says in
• 8:24
  verse 18, I consider that the sufferings of this present time
• 8:28
  are not worthy to be compared with the glory that should be
• 8:31
  revealed in US. For the earnest expectation of
• 8:35
  the creation eagerly awaits for the revealing of the sons of
• 8:38
  God. For the creation was subjected
• 8:41
  to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it
• 8:45
  in hope. Because the creation itself also
• 8:48
  will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the
• 8:52
  glorious liberty of the children of God.
• 8:55
  For we know that the whole creation groans and laborers
• 8:58
  with birth bangs together until now.
• 9:01
  Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the
• 9:05
  Spirit, even we ourselves grown within ourselves, eagerly
• 9:09
  waiting for the adoption, for the redemption of the body.
• 9:14
  So that should be the desire of all of us as Christian.
• 9:17
  We're to enjoy our life now and be thankful for what God has
• 9:20
  done and is doing for all of us and our families.
• 9:23
  But we should have this longing to be with the Lord.
• 9:26
  The early church had this desire to be absent in the body, to be
• 9:31
  present with the Lord. It's good news, I think of the
• 9:34
  winter season when it comes and fall's a beautiful time of year
• 9:38
  and all the leaves fall. It's glorious.
• 9:39
  But it's so stark, isn't it? Right now when you drive down
• 9:42
  the highway and all you see is sticks.
• 9:45
  There's no color. It's just drab.
• 9:47
  It's, it's ugly, basically that you're waiting.
• 9:50
  Wow. I can't wait to see green on
• 9:52
  those trees again. And, and this is the blue sky
• 9:55
  and the sun. That's that's something God's
• 9:57
  put in us because out of death comes life.
• 10:00
  And as we look at death this time of year, even the trees
• 10:04
  every year, I believe now a tree isn't a, a human being like us,
• 10:08
  but it has this desire because God's created that way to be
• 10:12
  able to bear trees forever and never lose 1 leaf.
• 10:15
  And I believe that the trees in the season of the fall are sad
• 10:19
  because all their beauty is gone, all their leaves are
• 10:22
  dropped and many of them end up dying.
• 10:25
  How God has created this whole universe to anticipate this
• 10:30
  glorious return, it tells us in Isaiah 6517.
• 10:35
  For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former
• 10:39
  shall not be remembered or come to mind.
• 10:42
  Someone called me the other day and had a very profound
• 10:46
  question. They said, Clark, what will it
• 10:48
  be like when we're in heaven and we're all rejoicing to be with
• 10:51
  the Lord? But then we're thinking about
• 10:54
  our loved ones and our family and our friends who aren't there
• 10:57
  that are in hell. How can we be able to live with
• 10:59
  that throughout all eternity knowing that they won't be with
• 11:03
  the Lord in glory? Well, the good news is for us,
• 11:08
  it says in Isaiah, the former shall not be remembered or come
• 11:12
  to mind. How great God is, because it
• 11:16
  wouldn't be heaven if all we did was remember our loved ones that
• 11:19
  didn't come into the Kingdom. That would be hell, wouldn't it?
• 11:22
  But God, in his mercy and his grace, at the end of time, there
• 11:26
  will be no more remembrance of the former things for the former
• 11:30
  shall not be remembered or ever come to mind.
• 11:33
  But now we live in this time when someone dies that we love
• 11:37
  and we're not sure of their eternal destiny.
• 11:39
  And it's very, very difficult. All I can hope and pray for in
• 11:43
  the few last moments of a soul's life that they hear once again
• 11:48
  Jesus saying, come to me, the Lord reaching out to them one
• 11:52
  last time, believe. And none of us know who repents
• 11:55
  on their deathbed, who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ for the
• 11:59
  forgiveness of their sins at the last few seconds of their life.
• 12:04
  But it's devastating to see someone pass away that has
• 12:07
  rejected Jesus Christ. But in verse 3 we see this holy
• 12:12
  city and it's described in verse 2 as a holy city because there
• 12:17
  is no sin in it anymore. This holy city is coming down
• 12:22
  and God will dwell with His people.
• 12:25
  It says in verse 3, behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men
• 12:29
  and he will dwell with them, and they shall be His people.
• 12:33
  God Himself will be with them and be their God.
• 12:38
  We look in the book of Genesis and it says that God walked with
• 12:41
  His creation, Adam and Eve, initially in the cold of the
• 12:46
  morning. He walked with them in the
• 12:48
  garden until they sinned and they weren't able to hear His
• 12:51
  voice audibly anymore because they separated themselves from
• 12:56
  His wonder and His glory. And God began to reveal and
• 12:59
  speak then through the written word to people.
• 13:02
  We see in the Old Testament that God dwelt with Israel in the
• 13:05
  Tabernacle and later in the temple.
• 13:08
  We know as the children of Israel move through bondage of
• 13:11
  of Pharaoh and God out of Egypt that that God manifested himself
• 13:15
  at night in a pillar of fire and a cloud by day.
• 13:19
  And when the pillar of fire began to move or the cloud, the
• 13:21
  people knew that it was time to move into the next location.
• 13:24
  It was very clear evidence that God was in their midst and yet
• 13:28
  they still sinned and did foolish things.
• 13:31
  And then Christ comes to dwell among us today, not in temples
• 13:36
  like buildings, churches made by hands, but He lives inside our
• 13:42
  hearts, the bodies of His people and His church.
• 13:45
  If you turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 6, this will reinforce
• 13:48
  that truth to you today, First Corinthians chapter 6.
• 13:51
  And I think this is something we all forget.
• 13:54
  Now, this is tied into the issue of sinning, whether it's
• 13:58
  immorality or drunkenness or stupid things that we can still
• 14:02
  unfortunately do as followers of God.
• 14:05
  By the grace of God, we overcome sin, we overcome temptation, but
• 14:09
  sometimes we don't. And we have to learn to
• 14:12
  continually live in repentance. We have to turn from the things
• 14:16
  that are destroying our lives. And today, if you're here and
• 14:19
  you're stuck in a life besetting sin, as a Christian, I pray
• 14:22
  today that you turn from that and say enough's enough.
• 14:25
  I don't want to live this way anymore.
• 14:27
  This is pulling me down. It's pulling my family down.
• 14:30
  It's pulling my life down. God, you don't want me to live
• 14:32
  this way. And the danger of living in a
• 14:34
  way, even though we think we know the Lord and we believe
• 14:37
  he's forgiven us. Galatians makes it clear, as I
• 14:40
  say many times that if we continue in these sins, if their
• 14:44
  life besetting sins, they're dominating our lives.
• 14:47
  It says we won't inherit the Kingdom of God even if we we say
• 14:51
  we believe if we really believe and we are saved and Christ is
• 14:55
  in our life. We want to turn from the sin.
• 14:58
  We don't want to live under its dominance anymore.
• 15:01
  And the apostle is speaking to this in the Corinthians.
• 15:04
  He says, do you not know in verse 19 that your body is a
• 15:07
  temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God
• 15:12
  and you're not your own, for you were bought with a price.
• 15:16
  Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which
• 15:20
  are gods. So Christ bought us with his
• 15:23
  blood. He paid for us.
• 15:26
  We don't own ourselves anymore. We belong to him.
• 15:29
  And so the Holy Spirit lives in my life today.
• 15:33
  I trust the Holy Spirit is the one that's ministering to you
• 15:35
  today through my life and that you're listening to the word of
• 15:39
  God through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives and dwells
• 15:43
  in you. But how often do we forget that
• 15:46
  the Holy Spirit lives in us? We get up on Monday morning all
• 15:50
  ready to go and we're thinking, oh man, I got to do this and do
• 15:53
  that. And all this stuff's in front of
• 15:54
  us and we're wondering how we're going to do it and how we're
• 15:57
  going to make it. And somehow we get our weary
• 16:00
  bodies up and chug a couple gallons of coffee down our
• 16:03
  throat and we get in our car and we're starting to go and, and
• 16:06
  man, you know, it's just not really working that well.
• 16:08
  We don't feel real motivated and real excited and we're not
• 16:11
  anticipating God doing anything because we think God's up there
• 16:15
  somewhere. And the mystery is God is on his
• 16:18
  throne and at the same time he's in us.
• 16:21
  In him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
• 16:25
  I love an ancient prayer. It says, O heavenly King, O
• 16:28
  Comforter, the Spirit of truth are in all places and fill us
• 16:33
  all things. Treasury of good things and
• 16:36
  giver of life, come and dwell in US and cleanse us from every
• 16:38
  stain and save our souls. O gracious Lord, you know the
• 16:42
  Holy Spirit resides in the body of Christ.
• 16:45
  He doesn't depart like he did in the Old Testament when David
• 16:48
  cried out to the Father. Please do not take your Holy
• 16:51
  Spirit from me. If you're in Christ and you
• 16:54
  belong to Christ, the Holy Spirit is in you until the day
• 16:57
  you're taken to be with Him in glory.
• 16:59
  But let's be honest this morning, do you ever forget that
• 17:03
  the Holy Spirit lives in you? Raise your hands.
• 17:06
  It's about every one of us. Now, if we go out to our car
• 17:09
  after church and we see the gas gauge on empty, we realize we
• 17:17
  have to go get fuel, right? We're not going to drive around
• 17:20
  and think that gas gauge is lying.
• 17:22
  It's not real. I have faith I'm going to keep
• 17:25
  driving because eventually the car is going to sputter and it's
• 17:28
  not going to have the capacity to go forward anymore.
• 17:31
  That's the way it is with us as Christians.
• 17:33
  But the good news is God, the Spirit doesn't diminish in US
• 17:38
  ever. He's the fullness of the Father
• 17:40
  dwelled and manifests in us. But we leak and the way we leak
• 17:44
  is sin, pride, self will, independence.
• 17:49
  And so all of a sudden we have this sense that we don't have
• 17:52
  any empowerment in our life. And that's when we have to
• 17:55
  repent and we just say, Lord, I've gotten off track somehow
• 17:59
  and I want to come back and get things right.
• 18:01
  And the way we get things right is humbling ourselves again and
• 18:05
  again and again and again and repenting again and again and
• 18:09
  again and again, and be restored to the Lord so he can restore to
• 18:13
  us the joy of our salvation. And as we humble ourselves, as
• 18:17
  we yield, as we repent, the Spirit of God begins to well up
• 18:22
  within us and begin to take control and begin to cause our
• 18:26
  senses to be under his leadership.
• 18:28
  And our mind begins to be renewed and our heart has a joy,
• 18:31
  joy and a strength and a stability.
• 18:34
  And, and all of a sudden we realize, like Paul, we can do
• 18:37
  all things through Christ who strengthens us.
• 18:39
  Amen. That's the good news.
• 18:42
  Now we have to realize that the Christian life has not been
• 18:47
  designed to live without the Spirit of God.
• 18:50
  It's foolishness. But we're told in the Scriptures
• 18:52
  that we quench the Spirit of God, we grieve the Spirit of
• 18:56
  God. And when we quench the Spirit of
• 18:58
  God, it's basically saying, I don't need your help.
• 19:01
  I can do this myself, which is pride and will fall.
• 19:04
  We can grieve the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit's saying, don't
• 19:08
  do that, I don't want you to act that way.
• 19:11
  I don't want you to do this or think that.
• 19:13
  And we're blowing them off and we're just going to do what we
• 19:16
  want to do. And it breaks his heart.
• 19:19
  We grieve him. And so all the sudden, the sense
• 19:22
  of his presence is not alive. We don't sense his nearness.
• 19:25
  We don't sense his leading, his guidance, his blessing, and how
• 19:29
  foolish that is to, to live in a way that the Holy Spirit is not
• 19:34
  dominating our lives. And the purpose of the church,
• 19:38
  you know, isn't like Sunday, OK, got to go to church.
• 19:41
  You know, it's the right thing to do.
• 19:42
  And I, I show up, I come to church and I hope you come to
• 19:46
  church to be corrected and redirected all the time.
• 19:49
  My mind is brought back to the main focus of where it needs to
• 19:52
  be and I get filled up with the presence of God, the Spirit of
• 19:56
  God. I have a stability in my life if
• 19:58
  I'm faithful in my study of God's Word and doing what God
• 20:02
  says to me to do in His Word when I want to be with
• 20:06
  believers. When I want to pray with
• 20:07
  Christians, when I want to be in the Word, when I want to gather.
• 20:11
  That's why Paul said don't forsake the assembling of
• 20:13
  yourselves. And so many think they can take
• 20:16
  church or leave it. I know what happened in my life
• 20:19
  when I started blowing church off.
• 20:20
  I mean, it messed my life up. It mess my marriage up, it mess
• 20:25
  my kids up. I mean, you got to be
• 20:27
  disciplined. You got to be focused.
• 20:29
  You got to be committed to the things that the Lord says He
• 20:33
  wants you to be committed to. He says these things to keep us
• 20:37
  protected. He says if you forsake the
• 20:40
  assembling of yourselves as a man, or some do, He says a root
• 20:44
  of bitterness will spring up among you and you'll start to
• 20:47
  get hard in your heart and you'll begin to start judging
• 20:51
  people and you'll think everybody's hypocrites.
• 20:53
  Why would I want to go to that church?
• 20:55
  They're a bunch of hypocrites. Well, we come to church because
• 20:58
  we know we're hypocrites, right? We repent of our hypocrisy.
• 21:02
  We ask God to change us and to break us and to cleanse us and
• 21:05
  to fill us so that we become more like Christ.
• 21:07
  We don't come to church because we're perfect, do we?
• 21:11
  The church is designed to be a hospital for sinners, not a
• 21:14
  museum for the Saints. The early church understood that
• 21:19
  the church was a place of restoration to heal broken lives
• 21:23
  that have been destroyed through sin and have been ruined through
• 21:26
  sin. That's why we have an altar call
• 21:28
  here every week. It's not a tradition.
• 21:30
  It's a place we're coming down lame spiritually.
• 21:33
  We're coming down hobbling to the front.
• 21:35
  Maybe we don't look like that physically, but inwardly we are.
• 21:38
  We're saying, Lord, I'm here again at this place of
• 21:41
  brokenness and repentance. Revive me again, Lord, give me
• 21:45
  hope, give me victory. Give me strength, keep me from
• 21:48
  doing the things that I did last week that were unpleasing in
• 21:51
  your sight, making my life a drag for people that have been
• 21:55
  around me. You know, the Christian life is
• 21:58
  a life of being positive, excited, joyful, overcoming, and
• 22:04
  that comes by the Word of God and confession of our sins to
• 22:08
  God and to one another. But even though the Spirit of
• 22:12
  God dwells within us, which we all know, we don't grasp this
• 22:17
  like we will one day when we see the Holy Trinity before our very
• 22:21
  eyes in the throne room of heaven.
• 22:24
  Everything today that I'm speaking about to you and you're
• 22:27
  listening, you have to receive it by faith.
• 22:31
  I can't prove anything to you other than my own life hopefully
• 22:34
  being somewhat of an example and yours to me.
• 22:37
  I can look in your lies and see Christ alive.
• 22:40
  And the Bible says we're living epistles known and read of men.
• 22:43
  It isn't hard to to know when you meet a Christian, is it?
• 22:46
  You just know by the way they act, the way they talk, the
• 22:48
  smile on their face, their gratitude, their gratefulness,
• 22:51
  their thankfulness, their humility.
• 22:53
  It just dawns on you that this person is a believer.
• 22:56
  And you know what it's like when you're with someone who doesn't
• 22:59
  have the Spirit of God in them. Matter of fact, Paul says their
• 23:02
  spirit bears witness with our spirit that we're the sons and
• 23:06
  the daughters of God. You know, when someone comes to
• 23:09
  the church here the first time, I've never seen them before.
• 23:12
  I feel immediate connection when I know that the Spirit of God's
• 23:16
  in them, it's like I've known him my whole life.
• 23:18
  They're my brothers, they're my sisters.
• 23:20
  And I might not know where they live or what their names are
• 23:23
  yet, or what their interests are or what their likes or dislikes
• 23:26
  are, But there's this fellowship in this community of oneness
• 23:30
  that occurs by the Spirit of God that tells us his Spirit bears
• 23:34
  witness with our Spirit that we belong to Him.
• 23:37
  There's no division in the body of Christ from God's
• 23:40
  perspective. There's no caste system.
• 23:44
  It's all the oneness and the fullness of God.
• 23:49
  In the Book of Revelation, Pastor Clark is taking us
• 23:52
  through all kinds of events and happenings that are predicted
• 23:55
  for the future. But for those who believe and
• 23:58
  follow Jesus, there's much to look forward to in heaven with
• 24:02
  Jesus. However, for those who are here
• 24:05
  on earth during the Tribulation, there's all kinds of chaos that
• 24:09
  will unfold. The Bible talks about an
• 24:12
  Antichrist, a false prophet, and of course that evil enemy Satan.
• 24:18
  Do you see how there are such clever attempts for the enemy to
• 24:21
  disguise himself as God and even the Trinity?
• 24:25
  The true Savior of the world is God and how He comes to rescue
• 24:29
  through his triune nature God the Father, Jesus the Son, and
• 24:34
  God the Holy Spirit. Just like Satan tried to take
• 24:39
  over for God in heaven was cast out, Satan will try to convince
• 24:43
  people on earth that he is the triune God to be worshipped
• 24:47
  instead of the legitimate God in heaven.
• 24:50
  It's an attempt, and although he will capture plenty in his
• 24:54
  schemes, he will not win. The true God wins, and
• 24:59
  Revelation unpacks how that will all happen in detail.
• 25:03
  Be encouraged because there's a way out for all of this madness
• 25:07
  that will ensue on this earth. But you don't want to wait
• 25:11
  indefinitely to make that decision about Jesus.
• 25:15
  We don't know when the church will be raptured, and you want
• 25:18
  to be ready to be with Jesus. To learn more about this, head
