Your Sin Will Find You Out

AudioWatch on YouTube

Why does God pour out judgment on sin? And why does the same God send Jesus to rescue sinners? In this message from Revelation 16 and 17, Pastor David Rose unpacks three truths: God pours out His wrath on sin, God knows that people will not repent under judgment alone, and God will judge the perpetrators of evil. Through it all, the cross stands as the answer. Jesus said, “It is finished,” and His blood paid for sin.

If you have never come to Christ, or if you are walking in compromise and need to return to repentance, this message is for you.

Discussing and Applying the Sermon

  1. Why do you think the people refuse to repent even while they suffer? What does that tell you about the human heart?
  2. Why does God’s justice matter to the gospel? How would the cross mean less if God did not judge sin?
  3. Look at Revelation 16:15 and compare it to Revelation 2-3. What pattern do you see in how Jesus speaks to His churches?
  4. Where is sin finding you out right now? Name one area where you have been hiding or compromising.
  5. In the message, Pastor David said that character is revealed under pressure. Take a minute to think about your own heart. What does your reaction to hard moments show about your heart?
  6. Christ calls His people to alertness, repentance, and endurance. Which of these is hardest for you right now? What is one practical step you can take this week?
  7. Where has your hope been resting? Is it in Christ alone, or perhaps in a person, party, or plan?
  8. Read Romans 2:4. Think about one way you have seen God’s kindness in your own life. Now spend some time praying for the grace to repent, to endure, and to trust Christ alone.
