Psalm 90

We frequently get caught up in the temporary things in our lives. The unseen things are ultimately more important; the eternal things, our service to the Lord and to others... those things that are everlasting should capture our focus.

“Everlasting consolation.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:16 “Consolation.” There is music in the word: like David's harp, it charms away the evil spirit of melancholy. It was a distinguished I honour to Barnabas to be called “the son of consolation”; nay, it is one of the illustrious names of a greater than Barnabas, for the Lord […]

Sunday Morning Sermon

Sermons from Old South Church in Boston

Whenever God speaks, it is worth paying attention. And Nebuchadnezzar is spoken to by God, and it shakes his world, shakes its very foundations. The revelation of God tends to do this—and we can see this right through Daniel. Here, in Daniel 2, we see that it shakes Nebuchadnezzar in two ways—his kingdom will not last, and there is a kingdom coming—God's kingdom—that will last… forever. And this kingdom will not be built by human hands! Moreover, as Daniel reveals both the dream and its interpretation to Nebuchadnezzar, we are given an insight into a man who knows that ‘the LORD is my shepherd—I lack nothing'. Daniel is humble, gentle, generous, and unfailingly obedient to God. Jesus was exactly the same, but perfectly so—and he was obedient to this kingdom that would not be built by human hands… and so he established it! Does such a revelation shake your world, even shape it?

Salt was a prescribed by God as part of every sacrifice and offering. It was used in the making of the incense used at part of the rituals in the traveling tent Temple. Salt was also used as a binding agent when making covenants. God is making salt an important metaphor regarding preservation, holiness, seasoning, covenant, and sacrifice.

King Jesus Returns G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 30 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days - from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! Today we conclude this series, looking at when, as King Jesus Himself promised, that He would "come again". For believers in Jesus Christ, living almost 2000 years after Jesus spoke these words in Revelation 22v7, "Behold, I am coming soon", this is their hope. When will King Jesus come? Jesus frequently said during his earthly life, things like "I will come back and take you to be with me" (John 14v3). The angels after Jesus' ascension said to the disciples "Jesus will come back the same way He went to heaven" (Acts 1v11). When will this occur? No-one knows (Matthew 24v36) but we do know it will be unexpected (1 Thessalonians 5v1-3), that there will be events preceding His coming (Matthew 24) and occur after the gospel has been preached in the whole world (Matthew 24v14). What we also know is that believers are to be alert, ready, waiting, watching and working for God's kingdom (Matthew 24v42-44). His people, His church of all believers, are to be alert, self-controlled and encouraging each other (1 Thessalonians 5v6-8, 11)! Why will King Jesus return? Jesus sayt that will come to judge the antichrist and his followers (Revelation 16v12-16, 19v11-16)! Jesus will come to bind Satan (Revelation 20v1-3). Secondly, He will come to judge all of humanity (Matthew 25v31-46; Joel 3v11-17). Finally, Jesus Christ will come and set up an earthly kingdom for 1,000 years (Revelation 20v2-7). Two Different Views Unsurprisingly there are many different views about this event, but there are two main schools of thought. They are Amillenialism & Premillenialism. Amillenial View - Primarily a figurative/spiritual interpretation. This view sees the Old Testament promises to Israel are being fulfilled in the church. The Millennium is the reign of Christ in the Church - the new Israel. The Church is already experiencing tribulation. Premillenial View - Christ will return to set up His kingdom on earth for 1000 years (Revelation 19v1-7). God promises to Israel of restoration, a future king and temple will await fulfilment. God has a separate programme for the Church. His coming is when Jesus Christ returns to take His people to be with Him (1 Thessalonians 4v16). The dead in Christ are raised and the living are changed (1 Corinthians 15v51-54) His coming to Earth will be to the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14v4; Acts 1v11) with power and glory (Matthew 24v30) and everyone will see Him. What does Church History say? The view of the church for the first 200 years was that of a literal return of Jesus Christ, 1000 years after the coming of the Holy Spirit. Early church leaders such as Papias, Irenaeus and Justin Martyr taught this, and these men were not far removed from the Apostle John. Origen promoted the figurative (spiritual) method of interpretation and Augustine developed an Amillenial view, identifying the Church with the fulfilment of the Old Testament promises to Israel and this became official Roman Catholic doctrine. Many scholars later returned to the Premillenial (literal) view after the Reformation. Resurrection! King Jesus will come suddenly, bringing destruction while people are saying ‘peace and safety' (1 Thessalonians 5v1-3). The bodily resurrection of the dead, both believers and unbelievers, is clearly taught in the Bible (John 5v28-29; Acts 24v15). Jesus' own resurrection is the guarantee of the resurrection of believers (1 Corinthians 15v20-22) At their resurrection, believers will have bodies changed into those like Jesus' glorious body (1 Corinthians 15v49; Philippians 3v21; 1 John 3v2), that wont be made of flesh and blood (1 Corinthians 15v50ff) and not just partly spiritual (Luke 24v39; 1 Corinthians 15v42, 53)! For those who are unbelievers, they will be resurrected (John 5v28-29) and cast into the lake of fire! What is the timing of these two resurrections? The first Resurrection will occur when Jesus Christ comes in the air to take his believers and followers (1 Corinthians 15v23; 1 Thessalonians 4v16). The second Resurrection, will be of the unsaved and unbelievers (Revelation 20v5, 11-13). Both believers and unbelievers will face judgement! Judgment Comes! There is a certainty of judgment for all people and King Jesus will judge the whole world with justice and mercy (Acts 17v31). Every human who has ever lived is destined to die once and after that to face judgment (Hebrews 9v27). Who is the Judge? - God is the judge of all the earth (Hebrews 12v23) and God the Father has given all judgment to Jesus Christ, God the Son (John 5v22-27) Judgment of believers: Believers and followers of King Jesus will not be judged for their sin, because that has been judged (Isaiah 53v4-6; 1 Peter 2v24) when they started believing in Jesus as the Messiah and King! They will be judged for their works and have to give an account to God (Romans 14v10) of what they have done with what they were given (2 Corinthians 5v10). The quality of work will be tested (1 Corinthians 3v11-15) and motives will be exposed - either things were done for God's glory (1 Corinthians 4v4-5) or for their own glory. Rewards may be gained or lost (1 Corinthians 3v14-15) and includes various crowns! There is the incorruptible crown (1 Corinthians 9v25), the crown of glory (1 Peter 5v4) the crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4v8) the crown of rejoicing (1 Thessalonians 2v19) and finally the crown of life (James 1v12) Judgment of unbelievers: These people will stand before The Great White Throne of Judgment (Revelation 20v11-15) and as they didn't respond to Jesus' call of salvation, they will be cast into the lake of fire with satan and his angels (Revelation 20v15; Matthew 25v41). This punishment is everlasting (Matthew 25v46). Heaven and Hell Then there is talk of two places: heaven and hell. What are heaven and hell like? Both are physical places where every person will be in one or the other. It is either heaven or hell. King Jesus spoke of the reality of a literal hell more than anybody else! 1. Hell Characteristics Everlasting fire and punishment (Matthew 25v41-46) Constant and outer darkness (Matthew 8v12) Everlasting destruction (2 Thessalonians 1v9) Lakes of fire (Revelation 19v20) It is prepared for Satan and his demons (Matthew 25v41; 2 Peter 2v4); the wicked (Revelation 21v8) and the disobedient (Romans 2v8-9). It is for all those who openly rejected Jesus Christ during their earthly life (Matthew 10v14-15). 2. Heaven As opposed to this place of Hell, there is Heaven! Characteristic of heaven will be: Joy (Luke 15v7-10), Rest (Revelation 14v13), Peace (Luke 16v19-25), Righteousness (2 Peter 3v12), Service (Revelation 7v15), Reward (Matthew 5v11-12), Inheritance (1 Peter 1v4), Glory (Romans 8v17-18)! Martin Luther exclaimed that heaven is "full of laughter!" This is prepared for all believers in Jesus Christ and therefore have their names recorded in the Book of Life (Malachi 3v16-18; Philippians 4v3) as they will be declared righteous (Matthew 5v20), obedient (Revelation 22v14) and holy (Revelation 19v8) Heaven is described as a House (John 14v2), a Kingdom (Matthew 25v34) a Paradise (2 Corinthians 12v2-4) and a Holy City (Revelation 21v2) There will be a new heaven and a new earth to replace the old heaven and old earth! This is the fullness of redemption, the whole story of the Bible that we have been looking at in this series. Do you know where you stand? Are you a believer or unbeliever? What now? If you are not yet a believer, you can respond to King Jesus today and then you will not be without an excuse when it comes your time to face Him as your judge! He is ready and willing to take you as His own - right now. If you want to become a Christian believer right now, there are three simple steps to follow. Firstly, admit that you have done wrong against God and His ways. Secondly, believe and trust in Jesus. Call on Him, receive, trust, obey and worship Him, recognizing Him for who He is and what He has done. Lastly, confess Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Once sin has been confessed, and Jesus is believed in and trusted as Saviour, then you are a Christian believer. Now you are ready as Peter writes in the Bible, "to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18). Welcome to the family of God. Let us know if you have taken this step!

Passage(s) : Matthew 6 Everlasting treasure and freedom from worry are found by those who seek first the Kingdom of God! The only thing that lasts is the Kingdom of Christ.

Daily Dose of Hope July 21, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 27:1-31   Prayer:  Almighty God, We come before you this morning, rejoicing in your powerful and holy name.  You are everything, Lord – Creator, Sustainer, Provider, the one who sees, the one who is most high, Mighty, Everlasting.  There are times that we are overwhelmed by your love and care.  How could the one who created all, also care about me?  God, we give you glory.  We are so grateful for how you involve yourself in our lives.  Most of all, we thank you for Jesus.  Oh, Lord Jesus, we give you glory, honor, and praise.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Happy Monday. Today, we are starting Matthew 27.  This is another long chapter that is filled with a lot of substance so we will once again take three days to walk through it.   Today's narrative about Judas' suicide is found only in Matthew. Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. I'm not sure what Judas thought would happen when he accepted the bribe. Maybe Jewish independence? Maybe some extra favors? Maybe some sense of satisfaction? But when Judas actually sees that Jesus is arrested and condemned, a man he knew was totally innocent, Judas is filled with remorse. He sees the consequences of his decision.   In his anguish, Judas brings the silver back to the religious leaders. Maybe he was looking for some kind of reassurance or guidance but they gave him none. They were, after all, simply using him to get what they wanted. When Judas realizes this, he appears to be consumed by both remorse and anger and hurls the silver into the temple. It's then that he kills himself. It seems that Judas was overcome with remorse.   If you think about it, remorse produces extreme sorrow and grief. The goal is that remorse will lead to repentance and life change. This happened for Peter. He denied Jesus three times, a very significant betrayal. He must have felt incredible sorrow after what he did but he didn't stay there. He allowed God to move him to repentance. But Judas, for whatever reason, could not get past the grief. Maybe he was overcome with fear about what his life would be like when people discovered it was him. Maybe he didn't think he would be forgiven or he thought he would lose social position. Whatever it was, he couldn't get past it.   Friends, I don't know what you are dealing with right now, but there is ALWAYS hope. Things can be really, really bad. Life can feel totally dark. But God is light. With God, there is always hope for a better day. For some reason, Judas didn't think so but he was wrong. Jesus would have forgiven him and loved him, just as he did Peter.   Jesus loves you. Jesus will always forgive you. Your life is valuable. If you ever get to the point where the darkness feels all-consuming, reach out immediately. Reach out to me or to a friend. And don't forget that God is always there, just waiting, ready to listen and comfort. You are never alone.   In the next portion of today's chapter, we have Jesus going before Pilate.  Pilate was a Roman, the governor of Judea who was serving under Emperor Tiberias.  While Pilate has been mentioned outside of the Gospels by several secular writings of the time, he is certainly best known for his role in Jesus' crucifixion.  Let's dive into that.   In Matthew's Gospel, we get the impression that Pilate is reluctantly asking Jesus questions.  He doesn't feel that Jesus is guilty of anything and this is weighing on Pilate.  Then, his wife sends him an urgent message, begging Pilate to ensure that nothing is done “to this innocent man” for she had suffered a great deal in a dream because of Jesus.   Pilate ends up seeking a compromise. Knowing Jesus had been handed over by the religious leaders out of envy and spite, Pilate appealed to the crowds at the Passover, asking which “criminal” should be set free, Jesus or Barabbas? Seeing Jesus as innocent, it appears that Pilate believes that surely the people will choose Jesus over the murderous zealot, Barabbas.  But they don't.  The Jewish leaders convinced the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be released rather than Jesus.    Pilate gives in to political pressure.  He knows Jesus is innocent.  Pilate, exasperated, declares that he is “innocent” of Jesus' blood but then he hands Jesus over to be flogged and crucified.  He did what was easy, not what was right.  And Pilate will be forever remembered as a leader who chose the expedient route, rather than the one with integrity.  He is immortalized in the Apostles' Creed and remembered by Christians around the globe when we say that Jesus “suffered under Pontius Pilate.”   The final portion of today's Scripture has the Roman soldiers mocking Jesus.  This was one more form of punishment and humiliation before the ultimate torture instrument of the cross.    More tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki      

This is message 59 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 63:1-19 God acts in righteousness and mercy to make His name known. He judges sin, redeems the repentant, and keeps His promises not because anyone deserves it but because He is holy, faithful, and true. Every work he performs point back to Himself, and every act of deliverance declares His glory. Even when people fail, His purpose stands. He will not be forgotten. He will make Himself an everlasting name.

In this last timeline in our exploration, we're visiting an alternate NFL reality in where Don Shula crafted the Miami Dolphins into an everlasting dynasty. It's an alternate NFL world that's unique, but also plausible given Don Shula's record with the Miami Dolphins. Of all the dynasties in the Parallel Gridiron, the one created by Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins challenges the realms of time and space.

Please join us on the cruise of a lifetime. Steven Harper and Kerry will lead a cruise through the west Caribbean, leaving from Miami. The ports will be fantastic, and they will each give lectures on the New and Everlasting, or Abrahamic Covenant, and will also have some panels together. Go to https://restorationtravels.com/nec-cruise/ and join us now!Please leave a comment about your ideas about the format for our Old Testament year. In this episode Kerry and Julianne discuss Section 77 and what it teaches us about the Book of Revelation and visions about the end of the world. They talk about the context for Joseph Smith getting answers about the Book of Revelation. They discuss the similarities between Ezekiel's vision and John's and Nephi's. They talk about the beings that are seen, the elders that praise God, the book that John sees, and the rich symbolism in Revelation. They then present a special separate episode where Kerry addresses a topic he has received a lot of questions about. They talk about God's anger. They try to answer questions about why the scriptures talk about God being angry, and what that means for us and our anger. They also talk about how God's anger and how it works to help and bless and change His people. They look at divine violence in the scriptures and how we can think about that and see God's love in it. They grapple with this question for some time, trying to provide answers that can make a difference in our life. We are grateful for our executive producers, B. Fisher and K.

This week, Greg and Nathan chime in for their special 4th of July episode as they share personal holiday traditions—from fireworks to family cookouts. Then, the conversation takes a thoughtful turn as they dive into the concept of the Everlasting Now—a reflection on time, eternity, and what it means to live fully present but with hope for the future. A mix of celebration, contemplation, and good conversation you won't want to miss.

Send us a textLife's most profound reality stares us in the face, yet many refuse to acknowledge it: once born, you will exist forever. This isn't about spiritual metaphors or religious theories—it's the stark biblical truth about human existence. The only question remaining is where and how you'll spend that eternity.The Bible speaks with unmistakable clarity on this matter. Whether Christian or non-Christian, your soul's existence will never end. For believers, this means eternal glory in Christ's presence. For those who reject Him, it means eternal punishment in what Scripture calls "everlasting fire." No middle ground exists, despite growing voices within Christian circles claiming otherwise.A troubling trend has emerged among self-proclaimed believers who teach that hell is temporary or merely results in annihilation. These falsehoods contradict Jesus' explicit teaching in Matthew 25, where He describes eternal punishment using the same Greek word (aiōnios) that describes eternal life for believers. Logic demands consistency—if heaven is forever, so is hell. When Christ said it would have been better for Judas had he never been born, He confirmed hell's eternal nature, for if universal salvation were true, temporary suffering followed by eternal bliss would still constitute a worthwhile existence.God's perfect justice requires proportionate punishment. If all sinners simply ceased to exist regardless of their sins' severity, how could God be considered just? Scripture declares "whatever a man sows, that he will also reap"—a principle that demands varying degrees of eternal punishment, not a one-size-fits-all annihilation.This sobering reality should motivate our evangelism and deepen our gratitude for salvation. The magnitude of Christ's sacrifice corresponds precisely to the severity of what He saves us from. Why would Jesus endure such suffering if hell were merely temporary or if souls simply disappeared?Have you settled your eternal destination? The decision you make about Christ in this life determines your forever. There are no second chances after death, no purgatorial cleansing, no eventual universal salvation. Today remains your opportunity to choose everlasting life through faith in Jesus Christ.Support the show

Send us a textThe doctrine of hell remains one of Christianity's most challenging teachings, yet its biblical reality cannot be softened or dismissed without undermining the very gospel itself. Exploring what happens at death, we discover the separation of body and soul—the body returning to dust while the soul of an unbeliever enters a conscious state of torment in what Scripture calls Hades or hell.This sobering discussion tackles widespread misconceptions head-on, particularly the dangerous notion that hell serves as some sort of "purifying agent." Such teaching directly contradicts Jesus' own words about eternal punishment and the finality of judgment. As one panelist powerfully observes, "If all are eventually saved, why preach this gospel of salvation at all?"Through careful examination of key passages like the rich man and Lazarus account, we see that after death, one's eternal destiny is fixed. The rich man never disputes the justice of his situation but only seeks relief and warning for his family. Similarly, when Jesus speaks of eternal punishment and eternal life in Matthew 25, he uses the same Greek word for "eternal" in both cases—revealing they share the same unending duration.Most compelling is the connection between Christ's sacrifice and the nature of hell. Our salvation required the eternal, sinless Son of God precisely because the consequences of sin are eternal. If hell were temporary, why would such an infinite sacrifice be necessary? The gospel's urgency comes from understanding that we face eternal separation from God unless we embrace the salvation Christ offers in this life.Whether you're wrestling with difficult questions about the afterlife or seeking to communicate biblical truth with compassion and clarity, this conversation provides the scriptural foundation needed to understand what awaits beyond death—and why the gospel truly is good news worth sharing today.Support the show

Send us a textThe eternal nature of both heaven and hell stands as one of Christianity's most challenging teachings. Drawing on passages from Revelation, Matthew, Daniel, and Isaiah, we unpack the biblical understanding of "everlasting" punishment and "everlasting" life - revealing how Scripture uses identical language for both destinations.Many attempt to soften the biblical teaching by suggesting hell is temporary or wasn't intended for humans. We examine why this position creates an insurmountable theological problem: if "everlasting" punishment has an end, then "everlasting" life must logically end too, since they share the same Greek word in Matthew 25:46.Our conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore who comprises the true Israel of God. Rather than promoting "replacement theology," we demonstrate how the Church fulfills what national Israel foreshadowed. As one participant beautifully summarizes, "Christ replaces Moses as lawgiver, Aaron as high priest, and David as king."The most profound section tackles God's sovereignty in salvation. If God predestined some to salvation before the foundation of the world, what does this mean for those not chosen? While many Christians hesitate to address this difficult truth, we confront it head-on. Like a potter fashioning vessels for different purposes, God exercises His divine prerogative in election.Understanding predestination doesn't diminish God's love but magnifies it. When you grasp that God chose you before you ever chose Him, pride dissolves into humble gratitude. This isn't a doctrine to fear but to embrace - it showcases the magnificent grace at the heart of our salvation.Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of divine appointment, eternal destinations, and the sovereignty that undergirds our entire faith. Whether you're wrestling with difficult theological questions or seeking to deepen your understanding of God's purposes, this episode offers biblical clarity on topics many prefer to avoid.Support the show

Send us a textGod's predestinating love stands at the center of our salvation, yet many believers struggle to reconcile this truth with human responsibility. This profound conversation delves into the biblical foundations of election, eternal punishment, and the consistency of God's sovereign purposes across both salvation and judgment.Drawing from 1 Timothy 5:21, we explore how election extends beyond humanity to the angelic realm, revealing God's consistent pattern of sovereign choice throughout creation. This theological journey takes us through church history, where we trace modern universalist teachings back to their ancient roots in the Alexandrian school, particularly to Origen and Clement of Alexandria. Their errors, formally condemned by the Second Council of Constantinople in 553 AD, continue to resurface today, demonstrating how heresies never truly disappear but merely transform across generations.The most compelling argument against universalism emerges when we consider the logical consistency of Christian doctrine: if hell isn't truly eternal—as universalists claim—then what assurance do believers have that salvation is eternal? These paired truths stand or fall together. Scripture consistently uses the same language of "everlasting" to describe both salvation and condemnation, forming an unbreakable theological link.Through the beautiful metaphor of the potter and clay from Jeremiah 18, we're reminded that salvation belongs entirely to God. We were all marred vessels whom the Master Potter reformed according to His sovereign will. This truth doesn't diminish human responsibility but places it within its proper context: we respond to God because He first moved in us.God's people must be thinking people—not just knowing what we believe, but understanding why we believe it. Join this conversation that will challenge you to embrace the full scope of God's eternal purposes and the magnificent beauty of His unmerited grace that transforms vessels of wrath into vessels of mercy.Support the show

Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, but God's kingdom and God's throne shall stand forever!

What is a biblical balance between the important subjects of being saved by grace and yet we are called to be Godly people, following Jesus.

Where is your hope? And just as important for a Christian, when is your hope? In other words, is your hope in this life or in the life to come?
