The Wrath of the Lamb

Sep 29 2024 • Dan Kent, Greg Boyd

Revelation 6 introduces us to the infamous four horsemen of the apocalypse. Their arrival exposes the truth about evil, which God responds to with his redemptive judgment. Talking about the judgment of God may leave us squirming in our seats, but God’s judgment is what brings justice and what sets the world right. From Abel’s murder to today, the blood of innocent victims cries out for justice. If love wins in the end–which it does–then justice must also win! Join us as we challenge our ideas about God’s wrath and discover the redemptive nature of his judgment.

The Horse of Perpetual Ascent

• Greg Boyd

In this sermon, Greg expounds on the first broken seal and what it symbolizes. Here we read about the white horse that seeks to ascend through conquering. Some have taught that this represents the rule of Christ, but actually it is the ancient serpent who is merely a Christlike figure.

Final Justice

• Greg Boyd

Greg speaks from the heart about the way that God judges, and how he uses all life circumstances to grow us, even though he does not cause those circumstances. When we honestly look at the difficulties of life, can we trust that God remains in them and meets us there, bringing good out of evil?

Poetic Justice

The Joy of God’s Judgment

• Dan Kent

In John’s vision he sees the martyrs calling out for justice, asking how long will they have to wait for God to make things right. This speaks to our common longing for justice as we live in the space where Jesus has won the victory and overcome Satan, yet we wait on justice to be fully realized. This sermon shows how we live in this space.

The Ancient Serpent

• Greg Boyd

In this sermon, Greg provides a defense for the existence of an evil intelligence, a being named Satan, and explains how Revelation conveys that he is the source and cause of all the violence, evil and destruction in the world. Through this, Greg argues that God has often been blamed for what Satan has actually done.

Topics: Satan, Spiritual Warfare

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Lamb

• Greg Boyd

This first sermon in this sub-series entitled “The Wrath of the Lamb” sets the stage for what is to come. Greg shows how the images in Revelation 6 have been traditionally interpreted as depicting God as a violent arbiter of wrath. However, he challenges these interpretations and introduces an alternative, which is more faithful to the text and to the revelation of God in Christ.
