Patience In The Battle

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2023

One of the things that the Church, from my perspective, does not see how patient Satan is when it comes to seeing his destructive agenda manifest in our country and the world. This message examines looks at one example of this.

Let’s open this evening with Hebrews 10:35, the foundational verse for this message. It says, “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” I was raised in a small country church in Tennessee in the 1960s and 1970s.

A no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation. Life is hard now. It will be harder later, and Revelation prepares us to accept that, and to be faithful in tough times.

Israel, is the church. The church, is Israel. I gave a few arguments in support of this, but I left out ...read more

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 18, 2025

Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.

Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats.
