This is the end of the entire Bible. It ends the way a lot of other books in the Bible end: with promises and yearnings for the Lord to come and do the next thing that He has promised. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/121242239241672 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Dec 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

How special to have Him personally address His church! https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1124241954126373 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 Nov 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1117242233261442 What a great encouragement it has been over the last three weeks to see Revelation's description of the New Heaven and the New Earth! It is the glorious destiny of all of the elect people of our gracious God to be at last brought into sweet and eternal fellowship with Him in a gloriously renewed heaven and earth where He will be all in all to us in Christ our Saviour. Today we will look at the first of these—the description of Revelation's revelation. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1117242233261442 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 Nov 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:47:34 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/111024195053794 For the past two weeks, we have been looking at what the Apostle John saw about the New Heaven and the New Earth in his vision as recorded in chapter 21. He continues to describe what he saw and heard about this New Heaven and New Earth in the first five verses of chapter 22. We will look at these today. I believe that the New Heaven and the New Earth began after Christ abolished the Old Jerusalem and that it continues and reaches its fulfillment in when we get to glory. In revealing this vision, John sees a vision of God's city in glory, and then Jesus tells John to tell us that what He saw is what really will be. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/111024195053794 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 Nov 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

In Rev. 20, we are not told what happens to the redeemed. That is picked up in today's text. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1027242032587945 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 27 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:53:28 no Rev.

Last week we came to chapter 20, the chapter that talks about the Millennium. Today, in chapter 20 verses 7-15, we get to see what happens at the end of Millennium. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1020241828282196 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 20 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:43:08 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1013242218532605 Today, in our sermon series on Revelation, we come to chapter 20:1-6. It speaks of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ that now is. This is a difficult passage that has many different interpretations. One of the difficulties is that Christ's kingdom comes in stages. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1013242218532605 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 13 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse 0:48:59 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/929241838477889 Today, we will continue our study in the book of Revelation at Revelation 18:20. In John's vision, he has just seen an extended prophecy about the fall of Jerusalem that did occur soon afterward in AD 70. Chapter 17 – 19 is an extended discourse about this. Jerusalem the harlot is spiritually called Babylon. She is aligned with Rome, the beast with the seven heads and the ten horns. In chapter 18, an angel declares that Babylon (Jerusalem the harlot) has fallen. In chapter 18 verse 9-19, the world is mourning for Jerusalem. So when we come to our starting place today—Revelation 18:20—It is rather surprising to many readers to see that God's true servants are called not to mourn but to rejoice in Jerusalem's destruction... to many it is disturbing! How are we to take this? Christians?—called to rejoice over the ruin of a great city? https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/929241838477889 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:47:31 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/915241822373175 Today, in chapter 18, we will look especially at the warning to God's people to break their alliance with the harlot Jerusalem. She is told to come out of her. We will look at the first 19 verses of Revelation 18. The call to 'God's people' to come out of Babylon stands out in this chapter. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/915241822373175 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

We will look at Revelation 17. In this chapter, we have the imagery of a harlot riding on the beast with the 7 heads. The identity of this harlot and the city that she represents has brought forth many different opinions. I am going to show you that a straightforward reading points to the harlot being Jerusalem which was destroyed in 70 AD and the beast to Rome. After that, we will consider how this applies to us. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/913242056225001 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:48:18 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/818241848244543 In the afternoon, we have been going through the book of Revelation. Today, we will be finishing the portion that is found in chapter 15 and 16. This week, before we have our reading, I want to begin with a question that will help you connect with our text. The question is: How do you respond to God in all the trouble that we have in this world? https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/818241848244543 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Aug 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse 0:54:16 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/84241840538147 We will continue our sermon series in Revelation. Today, we are looking at Revelation 16:8-11. In this chapter, we have a brief description of seven last plagues that are poured out by seven angles who each have a bowl that is said to be filled with God's wrath. Last week, I explained that there is good reason to see that these are given in reverse order. When prophecies of calamities are given, we cannot always predict very well just what the fulfillment of them will look like. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/84241840538147 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Aug 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:51:33 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/728241851361487 In chapter 16, each bowl is described. Today, I am going to focus on the first three bowls, but this will necessitate doing a little more general overview of all the bowls and their relationship to each other. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/728241851361487 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Jul 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:52:20 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/721241825306082 Last time in our sermon series from Revelation we came to the fifth section of the prophecy that has to do with the 'bowl' judgments. Today, I want to pick up with this verse, Rev 15:5, and read to Rev. 16:1. Here, we will see God's wrath, prepared to be poured out in seven plagues. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/721241825306082 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Jul 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

Revelation 2-3: The first was the letters to the seven churches. Revelation 4-7: The seven seals. Revelation 8-11: The seven trumpets. Revelation 12-14: The middle section showing a summary of Christ overcoming Satan. Revelation 15-19: The seven bowls which show the destruction of Jerusalem. from a different perspective. What we have today is an introduction to this section. It is similar to the introduction to the seven seals and the seven trumpets. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/714241843237545 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Jul 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:46:37 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/7724183328777 In the Bible, the church is often referred to in agrarian terms with the Lord as the owner. In the passage we come to today, Revelation 14:14-20, we see Him reaping His harvest. The church is called to do this work on earth, but as is often the case in Revelation, we get to see the work that goes on in the spiritual realm with the Lord and His angels. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/7724183328777 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Jul 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:44:03 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/615242244232313 Last week, we covered the first five verses of Revelation 14. We saw the 144,000 Jewish Christians that the Lord preserved, sparing them when the Romans destroyed almost all of the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They were preserved that they might make the gospel known to all. Today, in Rev 14:6-13, we will see how the angels help in spreading the gospel. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/615242244232313 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Jun 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:49:35 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/62241840493386 In Revelation 14, our text today, we get to see the 144 000 after the 3½ year siege. Today, we are going to look at the first five verses to see how God's grace has beautified them. And we will look at this that we might be encouraged to seek His grace. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/62241840493386 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Jun 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/5262422677750 In today's passage, we are introduced to a second beast—who is subservient to the first one. The beast referred to here is unbelieving Israel. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/5262422677750 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 26 May 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:55:57 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/519241836324229 Many people have heard of The Beast in Revelation. There are many wild ideas. But the Bible shows that the Beast has appeared all through history. In Revelation 13, we have a description of the manifestation of the beast in the Roman empire. There is also the mention of a lesser beast in Israel that we will be looking at. In looking at these, we will learn about the beast and how the beast operates. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/519241836324229 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 May 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse 0:55:54 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/428241852415081 Today we come to Revelation 12:1-6. Here we are given a very compressed picture of the church. We see a quick picture of her before Christ came and when He came. This compressed history is very helpful because it shows us what the church's essential nature is—in short, that she is the woman with her son. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/428241852415081 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Apr 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/4222412723069 In the passage we are looking at today, John returns to see what happens "up there" which he learns about in a vision. It is clear that the things he sees happen in order—the seventh trumpet is blown after the sixth. Rev 11:14 declares: The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly." https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/4222412723069 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Apr 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:44:52 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/47241848477666 This afternoon, I want to look at five things we can learn from Revelation 11:7-14. First, learn that you must finish the work that God has given you to do. Second, learn how important it is for us and our people to receive the testimony that God gives us. A third thing we learn from our text is the identity of the one God often uses to take away His witness from us, from our churches and from our nations. A fourth thing our text shows us is that there are times when it looks as though the church and her witness have been defeated. We are taught, or reminded, that the Lord will always have the last word. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/47241848477666 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Apr 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:52:58 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/33124183967803 In our Revelation sermon series, we will begin chapter 11 today. This part of the vision has to do with the interval between the sixth and seventh judgments that are initiated by the blowing of trumpets. Something ominous is about to happen. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/33124183967803 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:49:48 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/324242024133892 By now, you know that there are various interpretations of Revelation.

Now, with the sixth trumpet, another great host of demons under the leadership of four arch-demons are sent forth, and this time, they are authorised to kill one-third of the people. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/317241830124662 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

The Apostle John has been writing to us about the visions he saw of the ongoing work of Jesus Christ now that Jesus is reigning in heaven at God's right hand. Today, we are going to see what happens when Satan and his demons are turned loose upon a people. I am calling it a deluge (or flood) of demons. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/310242037112816 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 10 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:47:10 no Rev.

In case you have not been with us in this series, I want to point out that what we have in Revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ now that He is in heaven. We get to see what He does up there to establish His kingdom down here. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/225241923322687 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Feb 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/218241945174914 In the terrible siege of Jerusalem, that was starting to happen when John had this vision, the whole city would be destroyed: 1.1 million Jews would perish, 97,000 were enslaved. But Jesus told His followers to flee when they saw Jerusalem surrounded and they did. Rev. 7:1-8 seems to speak of this time, but whether it does or not, it shows the Lord preserving His church—keeping just the right number of them alive to sustain His church. It is a beautiful picture of His preservation of His church. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/218241945174914 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Feb 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse 0:59:33 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/128241625126342 Today we will continue our series from the last book of the Bible—Revelation. Two weeks ago, we came to chapter 4 where the Lord presents to John an open door to heaven and says: Come up here and I will show you things which must take place after this. John saw visions of things representing invisible things including God the Father. The emphasis was on His rule over all, represented by a throne. Also symbolised was His relationship with His church under many details. He was being worshipped by the church as the Holy Almighty Creator who rules over all. Last week, we considered the first seven verses of Revelation chapter 5. We will review what we saw after our Scripture reading. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/128241625126342 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:52:32 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/12124193922257 Today we are taking up the first 7 verses of chapter 5. In these verses, we are shown how God's plan or decree is put into the hands of Christ, our Mediator, who represents us! It is what we read in Daniel 7. It is what is celebrated in Ps 2, 47, 89, & 110 to name a few. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/12124193922257 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/114241937272042 As we embark on this new section in Revelation, we see in the opening verses that John is summoned to come up to heaven. But we need to understand that the visions are not visions of material things, but of invisible spiritual things visualised in symbols. What we see here is not heavenly worship, but our own earthly worship from heaven's perspective… we see heaven receiving our worship and ministering to us. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/114241937272042 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:47:03 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/17242052204277 Today's topic is Jesus' letter to the church in Laodice. In this last of the seven letters, His deep concern for churches and people that are lukewarm is expressed. We see both disgust and tenderness toward them. What a powerful impact this has on all in whom God's Spirit is at work! How can anyone be indifferent to what is in this letter? https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/17242052204277 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1231231943126267 Today in our series on the seven churches in Revelation, we come to the sixth letter that Jesus sent. This one is to the Church in Philadelphia. This letter is quite different than the fifth letter that was written to Sardis. The city of Philadelphia was the youngest of the cities to which Jesus wrote. Philadelphia continued to be an influential city until 1390 when it fell to Islaam, but there was a huge change in the mission of the city. It became a Christian centre! https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1231231943126267 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 Dec 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:54:28 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1224231929361582 Today in Jesus' fifth letter, to the church at Sardis, there is something quite different that is dealt with. There is no mention of heresy or immorality, nor of persecution. All who visited saw what appeared to be a healthy, vibrant, faithful, prosperous church. This time, there are no charges of false doctrine of immoral behaviour, no charges of a lack of diligence in deeds of love, forsaking worship or inappropriate worship, tolerating false teachers— Sardis was itself a very wealthy city. It was also well known for its immorality. But the church at Sardis had the prosperity without the immorality. Nevertheless, Jesus has little good to say to this church and its leadership. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1224231929361582 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 Dec 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

Today, it is the church at Thyatira in Revelation 2:18-29. Thyatira was the smallest and least important town to which Jesus wrote. By including them, Jesus shows that He cares for the small as well as the great. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1217231941555882 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 16 Dec 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/123231932146550 In our sermon series from Revelation, we have seen how intimately connected Jesus is with every congregation of His people. We were first shown this in chapter one in John's vision of the glory of the Son of God in which our Lord was seen in His glory caring for His churches and their ministers. This means that we should take great interest in reading what He says to these churches that we may know what pleases Him and what displeases Him, and what punishments await us if we do not repent as well as the blessings that are ours if we are overcomers. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/123231932146550 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 03 Dec 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

Though our persecution is far less severe, it is evident that it is increasing in our land. The core of Jesus' message is in Rev 2:10: Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. The burning question is why not? Why not be afraid when suffering is coming? Today we will see how Jesus answers that question. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/11272323757534 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 26 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:51:03 no Rev. John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/112023114537213 Over the next couple of months, we will be looking at what our reigning Lord says to these seven churches and at how it applies to us. We must consider both the positive and the negative things. His addresses to these churches in real history have a more powerful impact than if He had just given us a bunch of precepts in the abstract. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/112023114537213 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

We saw that this book begins with the words, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ." This week, we are going to look at the blessing of Grace and Peace from God. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/11523203045419 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Revelation https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/102923207164203 In our suggested topics sermon series, I was asked to do a series on the letters to the seven churches in Revelation (in Rev. 2-3). I thought this was a wonderful suggestion, so I decided to do it. Now I have decided to include an exposition of the first chapter also. I think this book is something that is extremely useful for our congregation at this time. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/102923207164203 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Oct 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.
