Waiting on God

Andre Montgomery

Big Idea: You can wait, because God holds the weights.

Waiting is nothing else but hope prolonged and lengthened out.”

Thomas Manton

These series of visions show that Christ’s earthly judgments follow a sequence. First, the seven seals show Christ as judging in order to restrain the world’s violence on the church, allowing his people to pass safely through this world into heaven. Second, the seven trumpet judgments serve to warn the nations of final judgment and offer them the opportunity for repentance. Third, the seven bowls pour out final judgment to destroy those wicked powers that refuse to repent.”

Richard Phillips

Jesus, I recognize that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and place my trust in You as my Lord and Savior. Please receive me now. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jesus, save the lost and guide the saved.
