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.
Sermons in this series:
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?Topics: End Times, Judgment, Presence of God
Poetic Justice
• Greg Boyd
The Bible speaks repeatedly about the judgment of God, including the final judgment that is coming. In this sermon, Greg addresses what God’s judgment means by explaining the concept of organic judgment in contrast with judicial judgment.Topics: End Times, Judgment, Repentance
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.Topics: End Times, Faith, Justice
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.Topics: Judgment, Non-Violence, Satan
