TRUSTING GOD IN TIMES OF PERIL
I now swing back from the soul sobering horror and despair of God’s certain, terrifying and just final judgment of man’s sin to the present hope and eternal joy found in God’s joyful display of divine mercy and grace in His forgiveness of that sin which we receive through faith in Jesus. (Psalm 103:8-17) (Hebrews […]

The Universal Judgement is the title of a lengthy sermon preached by Samuel Davies, a sermon many consider to be one of the most vivid and biblically accurate presentations of God’s final judgement on mankind.

“Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14) The above statement was spoken by Jesus at the conclusion to His parable of the wedding feast (Matthew 22:1-14), in which He is illustrating how His gracious offer of entrance into the Kingdom of God/Heaven through faith in Him, has and will be made to many,
