Pastor Marshall Ochs | October 23, 2022
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Revelation 15-16. These chapters reveal the final judgments on earth in the form of 7 bowls of wrath. These bowls are poured out against the kingdom of the beast and all those who follow the dragon. The intense imagery reminds us that God has a date set for the end of history, and there is nothing we can do to avoid it. We must surrender to the lamb or suffering the consequences of rebellion.

Reflect
Read Revelation 15:1-4. Will you meditate, pray, sing, and speak the song of Moses? Thank God for His marvelous deeds. Thank Him for the righteous acts that He has done in your life. Spend time meditating on our God's greatness, holiness, and mightiness.
In reading Revelation 15-16, does it bring you emotions of fear or security? The imagery points us back to how God delivered His people from Egypt.
Revelation 16:15 Jesus says, "Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed." Are you spiritually awake? How can you prepare for that day?
We see in these passages God's justice gives those who have rejected Him what they want. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal if there is anything your flesh continues to insist on having, surrender every desire, and ask Him to rid you of all desires that are not from Him.
Is there someone God has placed on your heart to share what He has done in your life? Will you ask Him for boldness to share your hope in Jesus?
