Pastor Greg Laurie shares a message from Revelation 6–7 titled “What Heaven Knows About Earth” at our Sunday Morning Service for Harvest At Home.
Sermon Notes
Did you know that when people believe in Jesus on Earth, it is public knowledge in Heaven? People in eternity are aware of the fact that their loved ones are not saved. It says that when a person believes in Jesus on Earth, there is joy in Heaven! People in Heaven may know more about the time and place of events on Earth than we realize. There is a direct connection between the believers in Heaven and those still on the Earth.
Application
Did you know that there are 3 Distinct Series of Future Judgements: Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets, Seven Bowls, life is hard, but God is good. Some Say “I believe in the God of the NEW TESTAMENT but not the God of OT!” “The God of the NT is loving but the God of the OT is Harsh and Judgmental.” This shows their complete ignorance of scripture. There is ONE GOD, of BOTH the OT and NT. He is a Good God of Mercy and Love extending Opportunity after Opportunity, and the God of Both Testaments “TAKES NO PLEASURE in the Death of the Wicked”
- God’s judgment frightens us.
- God’s judgment sobers us.
- God’s judgment humbles us.
- God’s judgment reassures us.
