During a powerful sermon titled “Back to the Bible,” a preacher delivered a profound message rooted in scripture, calling believers to return to a life grounded in God’s Word and prayer. The sermon drew inspiration from Revelation 12:13-17 and Matthew 1:17 – 2:5, linking prophetic visions with the birth of Jesus Christ.

The preacher expounded on Revelation 12, describing the cosmic struggle between the dragon, symbolizing Satan, and the woman, often interpreted as representing God’s people. He emphasized how God’s providence ensured protection for the woman, giving her “two wings of a great eagle” to escape the enemy’s pursuit. He noted how, even in the face of floods and persecutions, divine intervention—symbolized by the earth swallowing the flood—always protects those who trust in God.

Transitioning to Matthew 1 and 2, the preacher reflected on the lineage and birth of Christ, highlighting the 42 generations that led to the fulfillment of God’s promise. He detailed the significance of the wise men following the star to Bethlehem and how King Herod’s reaction to the news of Jesus’ birth represented the ongoing conflict between good and evil. The congregation was reminded that Jesus’ birth fulfilled prophecies and demonstrated God’s sovereignty and faithfulness.

Concluding the sermon, the preacher urged Christians to be steadfast in prayer and live according to biblical principles. He encouraged believers to resist wickedness and align their lives with the commandments of God, as seen in Revelation 12:17: “the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

The sermon ended with a resounding call: “Don’t be wicked; be more prayerful. Return to the Bible, and let God’s Word guide your life.”

The message left the congregation inspired to deepen their faith and remain prayerful in the face of life’s trials.
