Sermons on The Second Coming of Christ
Revelation 22:6-21
In this final sermon on the book of Revelation, we hear the concluding appeal of Christ Himself: “Behold, I am coming quickly.” This message, found in Revelation 22, is not merely a closing remark—it is a climactic exhortation that brings together all the themes of the book and presses them upon the heart of the Church. 🔹 Main Proposition: You must heed the message of Revelation because Christ is coming. We explore why this message matters, how the speaker throughout…
Revelation 19:11-21
In Revelation 19:11-21 we see a picture of the last day. What will happen? Though many parts of the book of Revelation are difficult to interpret, the basic message here is clear: Christ will return and defeat His enemies. Every enemy will be defeated. What should you do then? Endure suffering faithfully if a Christian. Turn to Christ if you are not.
Revelation 11:15-19
In Revelation 11:15-19 the seventh trumpet sounds signaling the final judgment and the return of Christ. This is something for which God will be praised on the last day. Though many think God unjust in his judgments or think them horrible, on the last day, all of creation will rejoice when it comes. This is because the day of judgment is a demonstration of perfect righteousness, the time when the righteous are delivered, and the kingdom fully consummated.
Revelation 1:4-8
Revelation 1:4-8 contains a greeting from the triune God and a doxology of Christ, who saved sinners from their sins and who is coming back to judge the world. God is glorious and worthy of praise in light of who He is and what He’s done to save sinners.
Philippians 3:17-4:1
In Philippians 3:17-4:1 Paul urges the Philippians to be fellow imitators of Christ with him. There are many who walk as enemies of the cross of Christ, but we are to be heavenly minded, looking with eager anticipation to the return of the Savior.
Philippians 1:9-11
In Philippians 1:9-11 Paul prays that the Philippians would grow in love, knowledge, and discernment in view of the return of Christ. Paul’s prayer is a reminder that we must all live with the return of Christ in view.
Hebrews 4:1-11
In Hebrews 4:1-11 the author builds on the exhortation given in 3:7-19. He shows that the oath forbidding some to enter God’s rest implies a promise for all of those who will hear the Word of God with faith. Those who hear with faith will enter into the rest of God, which is the true fulfillment of the rest spoken of at creation in Genesis 2:2. This Sabbath rest has been won for God’s people through Christ, who rested from…
Deuteronomy 30:1-10 (Part 2)
In Deuteronomy 30:1-10 Moses teaches that the people of God will one day return from exile at which point God will circumcise the hearts of his people. Paul teaches us that all the promises of God are “yes” and “amen” in Christ (2 Cor. 1:20). In this sermon Pastor Grasso shows how Christ fulfills all of the promises in Deuteronomy 30:1-10.
Song of Songs 8:6-14
The Song of Songs concludes in 8:6-14 with several lessons to learn from the book as a whole. First, sexual love is strong and therefore must be confined to a covenant relationship (marriage). Second, love must be protected. We must strive for chastity both in marriage and in our relationship with God. Third, love brings contentment and joy. Nothing else is needed in life. Fourth, love looks with anticipation to being with the Beloved, namely, it looks to the coming…
Song of Songs 7:1-8:5
In the Song of Songs 7:1-8:5 the Shulamite and her beloved are finally reunited and experience the bliss of sexual union in the context of marriage after being separated for a time. This ending to the story shows the need to persevere in marriage, but more than that, it shows the need for every Christian, having been redeemed by Christ and brought into union with him, to long for and to seek to hasten His return. The consummation at the…
Song of Songs 6:4-13
In the Song of Songs 6:4-13 we see the beloved’s persevering and transforming love for the Shulamite. She describes herself as “dark but lovely” at the beginning of the book, pleading for others to look away from her. Here she is blessed by the most royal of all women, having been thoroughly transformed by the love of her beloved. Such is the transforming love of God in the gospel. Such is also the love that husbands must reflect as they…
Song of Songs 4:1-5:1 (Part 2)
In the Song of Songs 4:1-5:1 the bridegroom and bride finally come together on the night of their wedding. This is the center of the book and has much to teach about the good of sexuality in marriage; however, the first and most important meaning relates to God’s love for the church. Christ saves His people for loving intimacy with Himself.
