Pastor Allen opened the sermon by discussing the effects of God’s consuming fire during the tribulation. He reminded everyone that those who belong to God would be protected, while others would face judgment. He used a story about a man receiving a doctor’s diagnosis to illustrate the presence of good and bad news in life. He emphasized that understanding one’s standing with Christ determined whether the news was good or bad.

In this segment, Pastor Allen delved into the core of Revelation 15, referring specifically to verses 1 through 3. He highlighted the introduction of the seven angels, entrusted with the final plagues marking the completion of God’s wrath. Reflecting on the previous chapters, he reminded listeners of the various judgments that had already been poured out. Pastor Allen emphasized that God granted many chances for repentance throughout these judgments, paralleling them to the plagues of Egypt.

Pastor Allen went on to explore the song sung by the tribulation saints, found in Revelation 15:3-4. He identified the key themes in the song, which included God’s works, ways, worth, and wrath. He encouraged the congregation to see worship not merely as praise for what God does but as acknowledgment of who He is. By examining the lyrics, he highlighted that the focus remained wholly upon God’s holiness and justice, reminding everyone that it was vital to worship God for His inherent character.

The next part of the sermon focused on God’s justice and the nature of His judgments, touching on Matthew 7:1. Pastor Allen clarified that while humans are not to condemn, they do have a role in correcting one another with love. He stressed that understanding God’s wrath and justice comes from recognizing His holiness. He described how everyone may come to agree with God’s judgments once they see the complete truth in heaven, assuring the congregation of the righteousness of God’s ways.

As Pastor Allen concluded, he reiterated the theme of God as a consuming fire. He invited individuals to embrace the cleansing power of God’s presence, reassuring them that their struggles with sin could be overcome by drawing closer to Him. The sermon ended with an encouragement to let God purify their hearts and a reminder of the importance of maintaining a relationship with Him through worship.
