Speaker: Rev. Harold Miller
Series: Revelation & the Confessions
Date: June 8, 2025
Bible: Revelation 1:7-8
In all things He keeps us in the palm of His hands and we have reason to praise Him!
That praise will be experienced corporately on the Lord's day and we will spend this coming Lord's day focused on the "end times." Our Lord's supper form has this language: "Finally, the remembrance of our Lord's death revives in us the hope of His return" Much more is there and we will spend our morning sermon in Revelation 1.7, 8
