The Unshakable Kingdom

I. Don’t Refuse the Heavenly Speaker v. 25-26

(ESV)

25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking.

For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth,

much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.

26 At that time his voice shook the earth,

but now he has promised,

“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth

but also the heavens.”

This is from

God has spoken

We must listen to Him

II. The Coming Cataclysm v. 27

27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—

in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.

Nothing is worth denying Christ

Everything in this world will be destroyed

III. Thank God for Unshakable Promises v. 28-29

28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,

and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,

29 for our God is a consuming fire.

Deuteronomy 4:24 ESV

For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Deuteronomy 9:3 ESV

Know therefore today that he who goes over before you as a consuming fire is the Lord your God. He will destroy them and subdue them before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the Lord has promised you.

Isaiah

Isaiah 33:14 ESV

The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless: “Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?”

Worship God with reverence

Be thankful for God’s promises
