Sermon Summary: Sermon explores the powerful nature of God's Word and its transformative effect on believers' lives. Pastor Joe emphasizes that Scripture is not merely for personal edification but carries a dual nature—sweet to taste yet bitter in the stomach—representing both the joy of God's truth and the sobering reality of coming judgment. The message challenges believers to not only consume God's Word but to actively share it with others, warning of the judgment to come while offering hope through Jesus Christ. The sermon concludes with communion, reminding the congregation of Christ's sacrifice and the complete forgiveness available through His blood.

Key Points:

God's Word is magnified above His name (Psalm 138), making it supreme and essential for truly knowing Christ
The mighty angel in Revelation 10 proclaims "no more delay"—God's judgment is imminent
God's Word is transformative, changing believers from "glory to glory" as they spend time in His presence
The "little book" that is sweet as honey but bitter in the stomach represents the dual nature of Scripture—personally sweet but sobering when we realize judgment awaits the lost
Believers are called not just to consume God's Word but to prophesy and warn others about coming judgment
The rapture could happen at any moment, and believers should live with expectancy
God is sovereign and in control even when circumstances don't align with our expectations
Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for good for those who love God

Stories:

Pastor Joe's wife's testimony from Scotland: As a new believer, she encountered Psalm 37:4 three times in one day (from reading, a taxi driver, and someone at her jazz gig), which carried her through a difficult season and taught her about delighting in the Lord
Carol McClure's example: A woman who led intercessory prayer at Calvary Costa Mesa, known for radiating God's presence because she spent extensive time in prayer and God's Word, and would spontaneously stop conversations to pray
Personal testimony about not understanding the Bible before salvation, keeping it in a drawer for years, but after receiving Christ the veil was removed and Scripture became alive and understandable
Reference to the City Hall meeting happening simultaneously where church members were advocating for Chad as Mayor Pro Tem, ultimately resulting in a different outcome that required trusting God's sovereignty
