Sermonette by Bill Onisick

Revelation 1:6-9 assures us that every eye will see Jesus Christ when He returns, but in what light will we see Him—in earnest joy or abject fear?

Kings and Priests

Sermonette by James Beaubelle

This insightful message explores the profound meaning of the Eighth Day- a dramatic pivotal moment in God's divine plan of salvation, symbolizing new beginnings and the final phase of God's redemptive work. Sadly, though very few scriptures speak directly about it, the Eighth Day reveals abundant spiritual depth, depicting the resurrection, judgment, and the establishment of God's eternal Kingdom. Two of the key themes rooted in Revelation 5:10 are that resurrected saints will become kings and priests, serving under the Melchizedek priesthood and a summons to active preparation for this divine roll. Those in the first resurrection will serve alongside Christ, administering justice and mercy as God's government extends over the entire earth. This timeframe includes the time following Satan's final rebellion and destruction described in Revelation 20, culminating into the Great White Throne Judgment , when billions will be resurrected and judged according to their works. As future kings and priests, we, as God's called out saints must cultivate readiness through sanctification, developing their spiritual gifts, proving themselves faithful in the small things, enabling themselves to be useful to the Master in greater things, actively growing in righteousness, serving others , and overcoming worldly entanglements. Just as ancient Israel was called to be a kingdom of priests ( Exodus 19:5-6, the Israel of God (Galatians 6:16) must live their lives of humble service toward others. The Eighth Day depicts a time when God's wisdom will replace the folly of the world, celebrating the dawn of eternity, when God's people, transformed as kings and priests, will serve with Christ in love , righteousness, and peace as all creation enters its final renewal.
