Eastwood Baptist Sunday Sermons

Revelation 18:6–8 defines Babylon’s judgment: God will repay her double for her deeds because of pride, sensuality, and self-sufficiency. The angel’s call echoes Old Testament justice and stresses that retaliation belongs to God alone.The passage foretells sudden, complete destruction—pestilence, mourning, famine, and fire—while worldly leaders, merchants, and sailors lament the loss of wealth. The message urges believers to trust God for justice and to repent, not to take vengeance into their own hands.

In this sermon, Pastor Jud explores Luke 12's parables about servants and the unexpected return of the Son of Man. He explains how faithfulness, leadership, stewardship, and preparedness shape believers' lives, contrasts rewards for the faithful with judgments for the unfaithful, and urges listeners to live ready, obedient, and generous lives as they await Christ’s return.

Sermon Guide: Called and Commissioned.

In this sermon we examine Revelation 17:1–6 and verse 15, unpacking the symbolic vision of the great harlot—Mystery Babylon—and her global authority over peoples, nations, and tongues. Pastor Jud explains the harlot’s alliances with world rulers, her lavish apparel and corrupt religious influence, and her bloodthirsty persecution of God’s people. The angelic explanation clarifies the relationship between the harlot and the scarlet beast (Antichrist), the meaning of the seven heads and ten horns, and the city’s role as the center of end-times idolatry and apostasy.

This sermon explores Isaiah's encounter with God's holiness and how that moment of awe leads to confession, cleansing, and a life-changing call: "Here I am, send me." Pastor Jud emphasizes that availability to God begins with an authentic encounter, not with answers or plans.
Through Isaiah's experience, the message shows that surrender and repentance invite God's grace, which purifies and equips us for the mission ahead. Obedience follows being transformed, not the other way around.
The sermon challenges listeners to adopt a daily posture of availability—small acts of faithfulness, trusting God without full plans, and responding to God's quiet invitations with a continual "Here I am."
