Living Waters of Grace for May 27th, 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
  At this great White Throne judgment, there's going to be
• 0:39
  famous people there, there's going to be rock stars there,
• 0:41
  there's going to be people that did great things on the earth
• 0:44
  and the world thought they were wonderful, but these people were
• 0:47
  heathen. They never bowed their knee to
• 0:49
  Jesus Christ. They never repented of their
• 0:50
  sin. They never allowed the Holy
• 0:53
  Spirit to save them because they rebelled against the Lord.
• 0:57
  The small and the great will be standing there and the books
• 1:00
  will be open. The Word of God is what judges
• 1:03
  us. When I preach on Sundays, I'm
• 1:05
  not judging you and you're not judging me.
• 1:08
  There cannot be 1 without the other.
• 1:11
  Often the love and grace through salvation that's found in Jesus
• 1:15
  is shared with others, while the understanding of what true
• 1:18
  eternal damnation means is left out.
• 1:22
  Sometimes, in order to be able to really see the good news for
• 1:25
  what it is, we need to share the bad news as well.
• 1:30
  Today, Pastor Clark teaches us that we have a responsibility to
• 1:34
  share both sides. We must warn our neighbors,
• 1:38
  friends, and loved ones that if they don't believe, they will
• 1:41
  have to suffer hell. Now here's Pastor Clark in
• 1:45
  Revelation Chapter 20 with today's edition of Living Waters
• 1:49
  of Grace. This rich man is able to see
• 1:52
  this beggar, and he is in torment, it says in verse 23,
• 1:57
  And in being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and
• 1:59
  saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.
• 2:02
  And he cried. And he said, Father Abraham,
• 2:04
  have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip
• 2:07
  of his finger in the water and cool my tongue, for I'm
• 2:10
  tormented in his flame. Think about the day that you had
• 2:13
  the greatest thirst, that you were begging for water.
• 2:16
  I had my appendix out when I was in 9th grade.
• 2:19
  They couldn't give me water because I had perinitis all
• 2:21
  through my body and they had tubes running in me.
• 2:23
  I must die. And I remember making promises
• 2:26
  to God. I'd hear the bells at Seton
• 2:27
  Hill. I didn't even know who God was
• 2:29
  at the time, but I heard the bells in the conviction.
• 2:31
  I said, God, if you get me through this, I'll follow you.
• 2:33
  All the days of my life I lied. When I got out of that hospital,
• 2:37
  I went back to my sinful ways. But I remember laying in that
• 2:40
  hospital so thirsty. All can't you saying to the
• 2:43
  nurse, can I have it somewhere? No, the doctor said, you can't
• 2:46
  have any water. Oh, please.
• 2:47
  I I mean, I, I would do anything for a glass of water.
• 2:50
  I was parched. I just, that's all I could think
• 2:52
  of this water, this water, this water.
• 2:55
  And finally they had mercy on me.
• 2:56
  They gave me ice chips, but you know, it didn't work too good.
• 2:59
  You know, ice chips didn't quench my thirst.
• 3:01
  I'd let them melt a little bit so I could try to sneak and
• 3:03
  drink the water, but they'd come in before the chips were
• 3:06
  completely gone. And then soon as they saw water
• 3:08
  and they dump it out and put ice chips back in again.
• 3:11
  It was this terrible. But this man saying I just want
• 3:14
  a tip of a finger and water to cool my tongue from tormented in
• 3:19
  this flame. That's what your loved ones are
• 3:23
  facing. That's what your neighbors are
• 3:27
  facing. That's what your Co workers are
• 3:31
  facing. Luke 28 verse 28 there 1628 for
• 3:36
  I have 5 brothers. That he may testify to them,
• 3:39
  lest they come also to this place with torment.
• 3:41
  He's begging them send someone to my family and tell them they
• 3:45
  don't want to come here. And Abraham says in verse 21
• 3:48
  they have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
• 3:52
  And he said no father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the
• 3:55
  dead, they will repent. He said to them, if they do not
• 3:58
  hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded,
• 4:01
  though one raised from the dead now thanks.
• 4:03
  Jesus rose from the dead. To this day people reject the
• 4:06
  truth of hell. They don't believe Matthew 812
• 4:13
  But the sons of the Kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness.
• 4:18
  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
• 4:23
  Those who are part of this Kingdom of darkness, of Satan
• 4:26
  will be cast into this outer darkness.
• 4:29
  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
• 4:32
  Matthew 2213. Then the king said to the
• 4:35
  servants, Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast
• 4:39
  him into outer darkness. There will be weeping and
• 4:42
  gnashing of teeth. Jude verse thirteen, way in the
• 4:47
  back there, right before you get ready to go into the Book of
• 4:50
  Revelation there. Jude verse 13.
• 4:54
  This is talking about the lost raging waves of the sea, foaming
• 4:58
  up their own shame, wandering stars, for whom is reserved the
• 5:01
  blackness of darkness forever. Luke 1328.
• 5:07
  How long does this last for people?
• 5:11
  Luke 1328 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, for when
• 5:16
  you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets and
• 5:20
  the Kingdom of God and yourselves thrust out.
• 5:26
  Hebrews 6 tells us it's a place of eternal judgment.
• 5:30
  There's no hope of release and turn over to Revelation 21.
• 5:34
  We'll be there next week, but we'll take a little preview of
• 5:37
  what it warns and says is going to happen to those who don't
• 5:40
  have Christ. Revelation chapter 21, verse 7
• 5:44
  and 8. It says He who overcome shall
• 5:46
  inherit all things. I will be his God and he shall
• 5:49
  be my son. We overcome by the blood of the
• 5:53
  Lamb and the word of our testimony.
• 5:55
  It tells us earlier in revelation.
• 5:57
  But this is the state of those who have these issues.
• 6:00
  The cowardly, unbelieving, abominable murderers, sexually
• 6:04
  immoral sorcerers, idolaters and all liars shall have their part
• 6:09
  in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the
• 6:13
  second death. Now we need prayer guys.
• 6:18
  We all do, and I want to have some prayer today about lost
• 6:23
  people, the people outside this building, the people that we
• 6:29
  face every day in our life that maybe we've never shared our
• 6:32
  faith with. We haven't warned people.
• 6:34
  We haven't warned our neighbors. Maybe we haven't warned our
• 6:37
  loved ones, our friends, our buddies in school, no matter how
• 6:42
  old. We have this responsibility to
• 6:46
  tell people about the grace of God, the mercy of God, His
• 6:50
  forgiveness and His salvation. So great is salvation, but we
• 6:53
  also have the responsibility to warn them that if they don't
• 6:56
  believe, they're going to have to suffer hell forever and ever.
• 7:01
  Turn to John chapter 3 Gospel, John chapter 3, the importance
• 7:08
  of being born again. Jesus said in verse three, you
• 7:12
  must be born again. I say to you, unless one is born
• 7:15
  again, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God.
• 7:18
  The way we're born again is that we repent of our sin and we ask
• 7:22
  Christ to forgive us and have mercy on us and to save us.
• 7:25
  And when we repent, it isn't disagreeing with God, it's
• 7:28
  turning from the sin. I'm coming to you, Lord, and I'm
• 7:31
  asking you to save me. So I no longer live like I used
• 7:34
  to live, and I live like a child of God now.
• 7:37
  And God changes our heart, He changes our mind, He changes our
• 7:40
  nature, and everything is new. We're walking the newness of
• 7:43
  life. I don't want to go back and do
• 7:45
  the stuff I used to do when I was lost.
• 7:48
  Why would I want to live like I was lost when Christ has saved
• 7:51
  me? The Bible says if any man's in
• 7:53
  Christ is a new creation, old things are passed away.
• 7:56
  Behold, all things are become new.
• 7:58
  I don't want the old way of life anymore.
• 8:00
  And unfortunately, some of us still want to go back and mess
• 8:03
  around with the pig slop. And the Bible says that it's
• 8:06
  like a dog returning to his vomit.
• 8:08
  God's given us this wonderful inheritance and this glorious
• 8:12
  new way of living, overcoming life.
• 8:14
  And somehow we're like the children of Israel that God
• 8:17
  freed from the bondage of Pharaoh in Egypt.
• 8:19
  And God's taken them to the promised land.
• 8:21
  And they start having some trials and difficulties and they
• 8:23
  think, well, I need to go back and, and do this again because
• 8:26
  this, this will make me happy, which is foolish.
• 8:30
  And Jesus says in John 316, everybody's familiar with this
• 8:34
  verse. For God so loved the world that
• 8:36
  he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him
• 8:40
  should not perish, but have everlasting life.
• 8:43
  This is how much God loves us, guys.
• 8:45
  He did it all. He gave it all for you and me.
• 8:48
  There's not one thing he didn't do in order to save us to the
• 8:52
  other most, there's nothing that's short in his saving arm.
• 8:56
  He can save anybody, the worst of people like me and like you.
• 9:02
  He says if you believe in Him and believe isn't just a mental
• 9:05
  assentage. I'm going to stake everything I
• 9:08
  have and everything I am upon Jesus Christ.
• 9:12
  And I'm going to live to honor him.
• 9:13
  I'm going to live to follow him. And I'm not going to be a friend
• 9:16
  with the sinful patterns of the world system anymore.
• 9:20
  I'm going to live as a child of God, by the power of God, by the
• 9:23
  Spirit of God. But this is a judgement verse
• 9:29
  18. He who believes in him is not
• 9:32
  condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already.
• 9:36
  Why? Because he is not believed in
• 9:38
  the name of the only begotten Son of God.
• 9:41
  So if you're here today, God's anger and His wrath is upon you.
• 9:44
  Yes, God loves you, He wants to save you, but His anger is upon
• 9:48
  you because of your sin. And that's why He pleads with
• 9:51
  people throughout the history of time, through preachers and
• 9:54
  prophets and evangelists and witnesses, to tell people to
• 9:58
  flee from the wrath that is to come.
• 10:03
  And verse 36 of John three, he who believes in the Son has
• 10:07
  everlasting life. He who does not believe in the
• 10:10
  Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
• 10:15
  So if you're here today and you don't have Jesus as your Savior,
• 10:18
  God's wrath is abiding on you. You don't want to leave here,
• 10:22
  because if you leave here and you die today or this week,
• 10:26
  there's no hope for you. There's no second chance.
• 10:29
  You can't say, well, I was thinking about believing when
• 10:31
  Clark was talking about this, but you know, I had some other
• 10:33
  things on my mind. I thought I could do it later
• 10:35
  and I sort of believed, but I wasn't ready to really repent.
• 10:38
  And so you stand before God and say, well, this is really what I
• 10:40
  was going to do. I didn't have time.
• 10:42
  No, the Jesus says through Paul, the day is a day of salvation.
• 10:46
  Don't put off what you know you need to do right now.
• 10:51
  In John chapter 5 verse 24, he says most assuredly I say to
• 10:59
  you, this is Jesus. He who hears my words and
• 11:03
  believes in him who sent me has everlasting life.
• 11:07
  And boy, I'll tell you if you're here today and you believe this,
• 11:10
  take a sigh, a big sigh of relief.
• 11:14
  You have everlasting life. It tells us in first John 513.
• 11:19
  These things are written unto you that believe on the name of
• 11:21
  the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life
• 11:25
  by believing in the name of the Son of God, not hoping or
• 11:28
  wishing or man. I I don't know, I'm not real
• 11:30
  sure the assurance of our salvation.
• 11:33
  Paul said, I know whom I believed in, and I'm persuaded
• 11:37
  that he is able to keep that which I've committed unto him
• 11:40
  against that day. And he who sent me and has
• 11:45
  everlasting life shall not come into judgment, but has passed
• 11:48
  from death unto life. That's the best thing, isn't it?
• 11:53
  That's happened to you and me. If it's really happened to you
• 11:56
  that you've passed from death unto life.
• 12:00
  Now the clencher for me and for you as believers here today.
• 12:08
  Luke chapter 10, verse 2. Jesus said in Luke 10 the
• 12:15
  harvest is truly great, but the laborers are few therefore pray
• 12:19
  the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest
• 12:22
  field. Thank God for technology today
• 12:27
  because we have means to get the gospel out that we never had
• 12:30
  before. TV, Internet, video.
• 12:35
  We can fly to different places in the world and take the
• 12:38
  gospel. We podcast these sermons.
• 12:40
  We have them on our website for people that want to hear and,
• 12:43
  and people do listen. But in spite of all the
• 12:47
  technology and all the things that we have, there's still over
• 12:51
  850 unreached people groups in the world.
• 12:53
  That's what Paul Dye told me when he was here visiting from
• 12:56
  New tribes. 850 people groups in the world who haven't heard the
• 13:00
  gospel once. And Jesus has been saying this
• 13:04
  about the harvest since he was on the earth, and it doesn't
• 13:07
  seem to change. The harvest is still great and
• 13:10
  the laborers are still few. And he says for us to pray to
• 13:13
  him, the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth
• 13:16
  laborers into his harvest field. Now that's what I want to have
• 13:19
  today. I want you guys to come down
• 13:21
  here, first of all, willing to yield your lives to be servants
• 13:25
  in the harvest field saying, Lord, here I am.
• 13:28
  Send me. I don't know who it is this week
• 13:30
  you want me to talk to about Jesus, but I'm willing to do
• 13:33
  that. I want to be concerned about the
• 13:37
  people I work with. I don't know how I'm going to
• 13:39
  bring it up in the conversation, but somehow I need to let them
• 13:42
  know what you've done for me and what you want to do for them.
• 13:45
  But they're not going to know unless I talk and I tell them.
• 13:48
  And lots of times you're in places in your life that no one
• 13:51
  else is going to be the witness but you.
• 13:53
  God's put you in such a place for such a time as this that
• 13:57
  you're going to be the witness to that person's soul.
• 13:59
  You're the only person that's going to be the witness in that
• 14:01
  person's life. Perhaps.
• 14:04
  Jeff gave me a video one time. It's a horrible video and it's
• 14:08
  made-up, but it gets the point across where this these guys are
• 14:11
  in high school, they're partying together, they're playing around
• 14:14
  and whatever they sports stuff they do together.
• 14:16
  One guy is a Christian. He's backslidden.
• 14:19
  He's afraid to share his faith because if he shares it, his
• 14:21
  buddy might not think he's cool anymore, doesn't want to hang
• 14:24
  around them. And so his buddy ends up getting
• 14:27
  in an accident and dies and he's in hell and he's writing a
• 14:31
  letter back to his friend. I thought you were my friend.
• 14:34
  Why didn't you tell me what was waiting me all the times we were
• 14:37
  together and hanging out? You said you cared about me.
• 14:40
  I thought we were best friends and now I'm in hell and I'm
• 14:43
  going to be here forever and ever.
• 14:44
  And you're just hearing him screaming and yelling.
• 14:47
  Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me why?
• 14:50
  And it's enough. You just want to turn it off.
• 14:52
  It's it's haunting in John chapter 4 verse 2, but he said
• 15:01
  to them, I have food to eat of which you do not know.
• 15:05
  The disciples said to one another, has anyone brought him
• 15:07
  anything to eat and Jesus said to them, my food is to do the
• 15:11
  will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
• 15:15
  What's your food in your life is your food to do the will of the
• 15:20
  Lord who saved you and to finish the work he's given you to do.
• 15:27
  Do you not say there are still four months and then comes the
• 15:31
  harvest. That's all our in our minds.
• 15:33
  Well, I'll get around to it someday later on.
• 15:36
  Timing isn't right. I'm not real sure what I should
• 15:39
  do yet, but I got time. There's still four months.
• 15:42
  Then comes the harvest. Jesus said, behold, I say to
• 15:45
  you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are
• 15:49
  already white for harvest. In other words, I have all these
• 15:54
  people who are ready to get saved.
• 15:56
  They're ready. Their hearts are prepared.
• 15:58
  My spirits convicted them. And who's going to?
• 16:01
  Who's going to pluck it? Who's going to, Who's going to
• 16:03
  be privileged to harvest that person?
• 16:07
  And we're too embarrassed. Sometimes they're afraid.
• 16:09
  Well, they, they might not like me.
• 16:11
  They might laugh at me. How do you know?
• 16:13
  You might go up to someone you think is like, totally like
• 16:16
  against what you're going to say and they're going to say to you.
• 16:19
  I've been waiting for someone to tell me this.
• 16:21
  I need a savior. I've been haunted at night.
• 16:24
  I'm afraid of dying. And I, I didn't know there was
• 16:26
  an answer to my sin. I didn't know that there was a
• 16:29
  God who loved me who would forgive me of all my guilt.
• 16:33
  I remember I was a firefighter in Atlantic City many years ago
• 16:35
  before I went to Bible college, and I was really on fire back in
• 16:39
  those days. And all I wanted to do is tell
• 16:41
  people about Jesus. And I need the Lord by his grace
• 16:44
  to pour that same kind of fire in my heart again, 'cause I get
• 16:50
  busy like you guys, I get focused and Jesus says, is it
• 16:54
  nothing to you? All those who pass by that are
• 16:59
  heading toward hell. So they fire him and they say,
• 17:04
  hey, they laugh, Hey, here comes the.
• 17:06
  They call me the Sneakin Deacon because one time I made a $2.00
• 17:10
  bet on the horses at the Atlantic City racetrack.
• 17:12
  They caught me in a weak moment. They go, we got him the Sneakin
• 17:14
  Deacon. But in a way it was sort of cool
• 17:18
  because when I did that, they sort of said this guy's just a
• 17:19
  regular guy. He's not a holy roller.
• 17:21
  He's not perfect. And but anyway, they said, oh,
• 17:24
  we don't want to hear this. Eddie's the guy that needs it.
• 17:27
  Eddie, he's a tough guy. He was a concrete guy, and he
• 17:29
  was a fireman as well. And Eddie was a tough guy, man.
• 17:33
  He's a big brawny guy. And I'm thinking, man, how am I
• 17:35
  going to get in a conversation with him?
• 17:37
  You know, it's just like, this is a challenge.
• 17:38
  And, and I just tried to live it.
• 17:40
  And I'll never forget one night, I'm laying in the bunk.
• 17:43
  He's beside me in the other bunk.
• 17:44
  All the guys are getting ready to go to sleep.
• 17:47
  And he said, hey, hey, hey, Claire.
• 17:48
  I said, yeah, Eddie. He said, what do you think about
• 17:50
  that guy Billy Graham? I said, I like him.
• 17:54
  Why, Eddie? Why do you bring up?
• 17:55
  I don't know. I was just watching him on TV
• 17:57
  the other night. And, you know, I think what he
• 17:59
  was saying was really good. I think it made some sense, you
• 18:01
  know, and I knew the Lord was drawing him in and I had the
• 18:05
  privilege to pray with that man and see him come to Christ.
• 18:09
  You just don't know the person you think as farthest from
• 18:13
  heaven as many times the person who's closest to salvation.
• 18:18
  He who reaps wages, receives wages, and gathers fruit for
• 18:23
  eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may
• 18:26
  rejoice together. Jesus says, For in this saying
• 18:31
  is true, 1 sows and another reaps.
• 18:33
  Don't worry about who's there and who isn't there, as long as
• 18:36
  you're there, because you're going to give an account before
• 18:39
  your Lord for what you did and how faithful you were.
• 18:45
  Jesus says I sent you to reap that for which you have not
• 18:49
  labored. Someone planted someone watered
• 18:51
  it. The easy work is pulling the the
• 18:55
  harvest off because it's already the Lord's prepared it.
• 18:59
  Others have labored and you have entered in to their laborers.
• 19:03
  So I'd like to just have a time and, and starting with me, the
• 19:07
  revivals in, in Europe that occurred during the times of
• 19:11
  the, the Welsh revival with Roberts and Whitfield and those
• 19:15
  guys in the US. And yeah, it was a time like
• 19:18
  this where there was people living that were busy with the
• 19:21
  affairs of life. And we have intercessory prayer
• 19:24
  here. And, and it doesn't matter how
• 19:25
  many people are there. Sometimes it's 345 that's there.
• 19:28
  And I know many of you are praying too, but we're praying
• 19:31
  for souls. We're praying for the Lord to
• 19:32
  get a hold of our hearts so that we're about his business.
• 19:36
  We can be a church teaching the Bible and, and be proud, but we
• 19:39
  go through the Bible expositionally, verse by verse,
• 19:41
  and we teach line upon line, precept upon precept.
• 19:44
  And the Lord saying, well, big deal, let's live the word.
• 19:48
  Let's do what the word saying you're supposed to do with it,
• 19:51
  right? Be doers of the word, not
• 19:52
  hearers only. And so we pray and, and what
• 19:56
  happened in Wales with Evan Roberts?
• 19:58
  He was a discouraged pastor. He came in, people were
• 20:00
  apathetic and complacent like they are everywhere.
• 20:03
  There isn't a church where there isn't complacency and
• 20:05
  lukewarmness and indifference. And that's not to condemn.
• 20:08
  I said. God knows that's how we are,
• 20:09
  right? I can't stir you.
• 20:11
  You can't stir me. The sirit's the one that stirs
• 20:13
  us. God is the one that pours out
• 20:16
  His Spirit for revival. And so they prayed.
• 20:18
  And I'm sure Roberts at the time, he goes in there as a new
• 20:21
  pastor, 2 old ladies, they come here, they want to pray, and I'm
• 20:24
  discouraged. Why isn't anybody else here
• 20:25
  tonight? Finally, he just started getting
• 20:27
  together with them and praying. Oh Lord, give us whales, give us
• 20:30
  souls. Pray, pray, pray.
• 20:32
  God had favor upon those three humble people that had nothing
• 20:38
  to offer but a cry out to God for him to move.
• 20:42
  God heard that prayer, poured out his Spirit upon whales, and
• 20:47
  there was a revival of profile. Women would be walking across
• 20:50
  the square with their shopping goods and their clothes and all
• 20:54
  the things that were important to them as they were walking
• 20:56
  across. No one's preaching to them.
• 20:58
  They're falling on their knees and crying out.
• 21:00
  God be merciful to me, a Sinner. The Holy Spirit's atmosphere
• 21:03
  working everywhere. The bars were shut down and
• 21:06
  whales. It's sad what happens as history
• 21:08
  moves on. Everybody forgets, and God needs
• 21:11
  to start another revival, right all the time.
• 21:13
  That's because when you think you're going good and all of a
• 21:15
  sudden human nature starts going backward, there needs to be
• 21:18
  continual repentance, continual revival.
• 21:21
  And so they prayed, and a little church like this wasn't filled
• 21:25
  very often when the revival broke out.
• 21:27
  The coal miners got off of work, weren't going to the bars.
• 21:30
  They were coming to this little church and they were packed in
• 21:33
  there. They were filthy coal miners.
• 21:35
  And when the call was given to come and repent and get saved,
• 21:38
  men were coming up front. But there were so many people
• 21:41
  crowding the aisles and the pews that the men had to get down on
• 21:44
  their stomachs so that people could crawl over top of them to
• 21:46
  get down in the front and and cry out for God's mercy.
• 21:49
  It was a move of God's spirit. Men would punch fists through
• 21:53
  the window and say, don't forget me.
• 21:56
  Don't forget me. We need this again in our world
• 21:59
  today. America needs revival, and I
• 22:03
  know there's many churches like ours around this country that
• 22:05
  are praying for the very same thing that we're seeking God
• 22:08
  for. God hasn't given up on us yet.
• 22:11
  And so I'm just here today as your pastor, just saying, could
• 22:14
  you come and say, Lord, here am I, send me for this harvest
• 22:18
  field. I want to give my life for
• 22:22
  what's going to last forever and maybe a burden for someone who
• 22:25
  needs the Lord to intercede for them and pray.
• 22:28
  Jesus said my house shall be a House of prayer.
• 22:31
  It's not about having a service and going home and that's it.
• 22:33
  It's about us doing business with God because God is doing
• 22:36
  business with us today. The first one here, I want God
• 22:40
  to do a work on my heart so that I am so compelled to share my
• 22:45
  faith that I'm haunted by the power of the Spirit of God that
• 22:48
  every chance I have is a spirit gives me opportunity.
• 22:51
  I want to be able to proclaim the good news of the gospel with
• 22:54
  my customers. I want to be able to talk to my
• 22:57
  bosses and the people I work with and my gay neighbors and
• 23:00
  need the Lord and my neighbors that live with women on each
• 23:02
  side of my house. I want to be able to confront
• 23:05
  them with not a judgement, right?
• 23:07
  Because who am I to judge? I got my own sins, but the good
• 23:10
  news is Christ is a merciful loving Savior and He's able to
• 23:14
  save if we repent and he'll help us to turn from our sin.
• 23:17
  Amen. This is what the church is
• 23:20
  about. It's not about religion.
• 23:22
  It's not about anything but salvation.
• 23:24
  It's about forgiveness and it's about repentance.
• 23:26
  And when God looks down in a church and he sees there's a
• 23:29
  people that are going to pray for revival and pray for souls,
• 23:32
  and God's hand will be on your life for these things.
• 23:35
  He really will. And don't be embarrassed and
• 23:37
  don't be shy because This is why we're here.
• 23:40
  We're here in these last days as His children to come and to give
• 23:45
  our lives and to let them work in our hearts.
• 23:49
  We are digging into the Book of Revelation here on Living Waters
• 23:52
  of Grace. Pastor Clark is tackling this
• 23:55
  challenging book as we try to discern the messages that are
• 23:59
  within its pages. There's so much imagery, and at
• 24:03
  times you're not always sure what's literal and what's
• 24:06
  metaphorical. At one point, there's a
• 24:08
  reference to an adulterous woman riding on a beast.
• 24:13
  And as someone else mentioned, at one point it almost sounds
• 24:16
  like a rodeo from hell. And in actuality it kind of is.
• 24:21
  You learn about the downfall and demise of a sinful and
• 24:25
  rebellious world, falling down in worship to someone who is the
• 24:29
  anti hero, the enemy, Satan working his insidious ways into
• 24:36
  the minds of fallen people. It's sad and it's heartbreaking,
• 24:40
  but it's a classic story of good versus evil.
• 24:45
  Thankfully, we know how this story ends.
• 24:48
  Jesus wins, Jesus reigns, and evil is conquered once and for
• 24:55
  all. We pray and trust you've
• 24:57
  received Jesus as your Savior. But if you haven't, don't wait
• 25:02
  until the events and revelation become what's happening on the
• 25:06
  streets. None of us wants you to be there
• 25:09
  at that time. Instead, we'd love for you to be
• 25:12
  with us in heaven as we celebrate the marriage supper
• 25:17
  with Jesus as his bridegroom. To get a better understanding of
• 25:23
  where we are in the Book of Revelation, to listen to any
• 25:26
  messages before or after this one, you can find them at our
• 25:31
  website, calvarychapelonline.com.
• 25:35
  That's it for today's edition, but we hope you'll want to hear
• 25:38
  Pastor Clark teach more from the Book of Revelation.
• 25:42
  It can be exciting to think about the future for believers,
• 25:46
  but it can feel a bit harrowing for those who don't believe.
• 25:49
  Come here more next time on Living Waters of Grace.
