Summary
Joel prophesies judgment against Israel for rejecting God, using a devastating locust plague as the central metaphor. The sermon explores how God's judgment serves a redemptive purpose, leading to restoration and the future outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The preacher emphasizes that believers today live in the age of the Spirit's outpouring, which will culminate in the great and awesome day of the Lord.
Highlights
You thought that the plague of locusts that you just endured was bad? Here's what you need to know. In the future, there is going to come a day that's going to make the plague of locusts look like nothing.
We are living right now. Right now we are living in the time of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That's what we are living in right now.
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Isn't that a great word?
