I hope every single poster and reader on this site will listen to this realistic and very encouraging view of Scripture prophesy for last day hope. This speaker will surprise some for his prophetic and Scripture based preaching.

Thank you for sharing this , dear brother Robert. It is extremely edifying and timely, perhaps even more so now than then?!? It is hope giving and convicting at the same time as I ask, am I on fire like that? 🔥 (edit: knowing I’m not at the moment, but that even now the Spirit is stirring me!)
This message was actually preached on my 15th birthday, about a year and a half before our family began attending Bethlehem Baptist, where John Piper preached.
Years after we left Bethlehem, my dad recounted that the first Sunday we attended Bethlehem, I commented, "why did he have to preach his best sermon ever on the day that we visited?!” 😆 Back then, I was not interested to switch churches because I had friends at the church we had been attending, and did not want to leave them.
Yet even at the age of 16 (before being baptized in the spirit!), I could tell that John Piper’s preaching was different. In looking back, I’m glad we switched churches to Bethlehem Baptist, where I would soon meet my future wife.
Oh how much I have learned from the Lord since those early formative years in the faith. Yet in many ways, I often feel like I know nothing, except barely beginning to know Christ even now! Each step in our journey is so important and precious, thanks be to God!
Love you brother Robert! â¤ï¸
