The God of Creation and Redemption in Revelation 4 and 5


Kathleen Nielsen

Scripture, when read rightly, will lead us to worship.

Why does John weep loudly at the prospect of the scroll remaining unopened? Look to the rest of Scripture.

The scroll in Ezekiel and the scroll in Daniel. Unfolding human history at the decree of God.

Writing on both sides of the scroll. Every last space was required for God’s decrees for the unfolding of human history. If the scroll would not open, human history could not unfold at God’s decree. What if there is no larger purpose for the days in which we live? John weeps at the prospect of a universe separated from its Creator.

The Glory of Christ in the Transfiguration


Nancy Leigh DeMoss, speak on Matthew 17:

“This was not a new miracle, but the cessation of an ongoing miracle. The real miracle was that Jesus was able to cover His glory.”

All is well in heaven and all will be well on earth. All because of Jesus.

Is Your Women’s Ministry Word-Based?


Questions to consider from Nancy Guthrie:

What drives the agenda of your Women’s Ministry?

We will one day stand before the blazing Light of God, where nothing will be hidden, and will give an account of our lives to God.
We are to not only equip our women to deal with the struggles of this life, we are to prepare them for the accountability of standing before a Holy God.

The Lord Who Lifts From the Miry Bog


From Carrie Sandom, speaking on Psalm 40:

There are those who are compromised, consumed, and cold-hearted. And they’re all in a miry bog. And they aren’t the only ones. In a group this size, there are many of us trapped in a miry bog as well. Bogs come in various shapes. We know what it’s like, and many have experienced that the more we struggle to escape, the more bound we become.

But God knows we desire to escape, and in the Psalms, God gives us words to the desperation of our hearts. The Psalms were written supremely to each them about God; who He is and how He relates to His people. But the also taught how to respond to Him, regardless of the situation in which we find ourselves.

Beholding and Rejecting the Suffering Splendor of the Savior


John Piper, Plenary Session Three

Isaiah 6 reveals the splendor of the Majestic King.

Isaiah 53 reveals the suffering of the Sacrificial Servant.

Both are rejected by a mankind who seeks the glory of one another more than the glory of God. Our sinful nature desires neither picture of God, and Jesus was BOTH.

John Piper, Plenary Session Three
