Revelation 18:1-24 (Part 1)
In this insightful sermon on Revelation chapter 18, Pastor Bruce Gordon challenges listeners to discern the authentic faith amidst the prevalent false religious systems symbolized by Babylon. Emphasizing the book of Revelation as a revelation of Jesus Christ, Pastor Gordon warns against the seductive allure of worldly systems that distract from the centrality of Christ in our lives. He traces the origins of Babylon's influence back to Genesis and highlights its ongoing impact throughout history as a representation of rebellion against God. Pastor Gordon calls believers to self-examination, urging them to resist the buffet-style approach to faith that picks and chooses doctrines for personal convenience. This sermon is a clarion call to stand firm in genuine obedience and devotion to Christ alone, recognizing the fleeting nature of earthly systems and the enduring truth of God's word.
