The sermon on Sunday, June 14, 2026, will be from Revelation 13:11-18 – The Beast Who Breathed.   “… it deceives those who dwell on the earth …” – Revelation 13:14

To “deceive” means to lie, trick, and mislead. Such deception is a blatant violation of the 9th Commandment – “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:16). So, it is no surprise the two beasts of Revelation deceive humanity “en masse.” They are tools in the hands of the father of lies (Jn. 8:44) – the devil himself (Rev. 12:9). They deceive and mislead multitudes into false worship. Thankfully, the Triune God reveals himself to us in the pages of Holy Scripture, and his Word to us is trustworthy (Jn. 17:17) because he “never lies” (Titus 1:2). Through this infallible Word and the blood of the Lord Jesus, he rescues the elect from the wrath to come and leads them to the city with foundations whose builder is God (Heb. 11:10).
