What can we learn from the patterns of divine judgment found in the Bible? Discover the chilling parallels between past judgments and our modern world in this insightful sermon.

Join Dr. Michael Youssef for a thought-provoking exploration of the evidence for God’s judgment, as reflected in societal decay and moral perversion, framed through Psalm 14 and connected to Romans 1 and 3.

Key Themes Examined:

• Signs of judgment in Scripture and their modern parallels
• The summons, summation, and sentencing from the courts of heaven
• The nature of depravity and its manifestation in denying God
• The distinction between God’s covenantal character and moral absolutes
• Hope for salvation through the coming of Jesus from Zion
• The responsibility of believers to share the Good News of Jesus

Key Points Expanded:

1. The Summons: Dr. Youssef vividly describes humanity being summoned to the courts of heaven. Accused of moral perversion and the denial of God, all of humanity stands before the divine judge. This denial and the depth of depravity reflect the deep desire to live without acknowledging God, even though, as Romans 1 states, creation itself testifies to God’s existence.
2. The Court's Sentence: The sentence is a life marked by fear and dread, a consequence of rejecting God’s salvation. While you cannot save yourself, new hope emerges through the salvation offered by Jesus Christ, bringing light and life where there was only darkness.
3. The Surprise of Grace: Despite the guilty verdict, the courts of heaven reconvened, suspending the sentence for a time. The judge, symbolizing God's mercy, offer the accused a reprieve through salvation from Zion—Jesus Christ.
