Sovereign Grace Bible Church

The sermon centers on the dual reality of the Day of the Lord—both a sudden, unexpected judgment and the hope of a new heavens and new earth—urging believers to live in holy conduct and godliness, not out of fear, but out of eager expectation for Christ's return. Drawing from 2 Peter 3:10–13, it emphasizes that God's apparent delay in judgment is an expression of mercy, giving time for repentance, while warning that unrepentant scoffers will face no excuse when the final day comes. The preacher calls the church to a life of active hope, not passive waiting, by both looking forward to Christ's return and hastening it through faithful living and prayer, grounded in God's promises of a future where righteousness dwells. This eschatological hope, rooted in Scripture from Isaiah to Revelation, transforms present conduct, motivating holiness and evangelism, and offering comfort and purpose amid the tension between the present age and the coming eternal kingdom.
