Derek Thomas: The End in Sight 

I completely agree with Pastor Thomas, if we truly believe in Jesus, the sadness of death is greatly different if we know that person is saved. I have a hard time being terribly sad when a Believer dies because I am overjoyed for them. And I'm deeply troubled every time a non-Believer dies because I know they are lost forever. Eternally lost in sin is the most dreadful thing imaginable. Thank you for such an encouraging message for our times. Maranatha!

I need to confess I've been very discouraged. But who am I? Thank God for His long-suffering or none of us would be here. Thank you for this.

Praise God He is patient, and He waited for me. He will bring His plan to completion as he draws His elect to Him. Some may not have been borne yet? And the Sin of this world may not have reached fulfilment. Even so Come Lord Jesus !

Great message! May the Lord continue blessing this ministry

Beautifully and humbly thankful that He is my King, my Creator and my Best friend!

Always enjoy his sermons.

Yes, true Christians generally are the best citizens. How sad it is when somebody who claims to be a Christian is actually up to no good, and people become disillusioned about God. A terrible thing. Lord, clean all of us up, and let us be truly faithful, not in our strength, but in Yours

How wonderful it is to be a Christian! Thank you, Dr. Thomas for your blessed sermon.

Wonderful message,blessed hope hallelujah

None of the enemies influences in our minds! 😊

YES! What a marvelous privilege is to be a Christian. AMEN .📖✝️🙏😇❤️

That roll of saved souls is getting a lot longer every day these days. Lots of people in distressed places are finally realizing there is no other other hope but Christ

Dr. Luke wrote in Acts 13:48 to as many as were appointed to eternal life believed he didn't say two as many as believe were appointed to eternal life he could have easily said it that way but he didn't you have to be elected by God or appointed by God to eternal life and then you will believe Titus 3:5 talks about regeneration and yes we know that man is responsible to stop rejecting the son of God and believe in to repent but we know also know that faith is a gift repentance is a gift Grace is a gift and it includes all those things belief is a gift Jesus said no man can come to me except the father in draw him

Jesus's reserection

Time is running out.

Since when and why are all the new big churches dark and depressing inside???

1Th 4:15 ISV For we declare to you what the Lord has told us to say: We who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have died. He came 2000years ago his appointed time Dan 9:24 ISV Seventy weeks have been decreed concerning your people and your holy city: to restrain transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for lawlessness, to establish everlasting righteousness, to conclude vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

I wish God would bless me and answer my prayers, he seems to be hiding himself from me.

I love this sermon, but I checked the comments and no one mentions the rapture. Is this a denomination that doesn’t believe in the rapture?

May I just say to preachers…. Please don’t say “I’ve been assigned to preach on…” The listener doesn’t need to know that. It makes it sound like you are there doing a dispassionate job at the behest of a organization. It just doesn’t sound good. I love Ligonier - sorry to be critical.

Bad exegesis.

What a wonderful thing it is to be a Christian. Glory to GOD

What a wonderful message. My favorite part…. what a wonderful thing it is to be a Christian. That’s how I’ve felt for a long time ❣️❣️❣️

Iam a Indian Christian. I have a word to say about Hinduism. In hinduism there is not a word of salvation.. It's all based on good deeds in this life. If yourdeeds are not uptothe standards ofGods, then you take a rebirth as a monkey or a donkey . Now after beingborn as donkey, how can a donkey dogood deeds that are appreciat ed by Godin order to attain abetter life form. This cycle of rebirth has no end, which looked too absurd for me. Then I found a chance for a sinner to save himself, by repentance and acceptance Jesus as personal saviour. Thats why I converted to Christianity and now I sure, that salvation through jesus Christ, is a gift of God.

I really like Derek Thomas. He is similar to me cause I hope dogs and horses will be in the new heaven.

Wonderful message. I enjoyed it very much. God will send Jesus when He is good and ready. Amen.

Absolutely wonderful message. Goose bumps and focused. Didn't want it to end. Wonderful message.

While we , the saved are in heaven, we will witness how God created the first world, showing us that our belief of Him creator was good and true. This amazing priviledge will be marvelous and will make us prostrate ourselves at His feet, praising His Holy goodness an, power and glorious righteousness.🙏📖✝️❤️❤️❤️

What a wonderful thing it is to be a Christian.

Praise God!!!! Thank you Father God for Derek Thomas!

Wow. Are the comments about how much you make or want to make from bots? They do not seem related to the message.

It’s too bad that billions of Chinese, Indians, Japanese, Muslims, Buddhists etc. are doomed to perish in the eternal fires of hell since they don’t know or accept what Dr. Thomas preaches.

Hallelujah for sound doctrinal teaching! Straight out of Holy scripture! Hallelujah to Christ the only true King and Potentate!

This is not the God of the Bible. Calvinism is a cancer in the church, and a horrible lie against our God and Savior who truly does want ALL to be saved and not perish. Please repent of this ungodly doctrine. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.

Repent God's Kingdom is near.

David Martyn Lloyd Jones said. I can forgive a preacher almost anything if he makes me hungry for God. Derek Thomas does this for me

Just WOW !! That was touching!! Thank you Jesus 💞✝️

I have been listening and reading from the sages of the recent past for so long I forget there are great speakers of the Word right here, today. Very well done.

Share this with your hesitant friends. Those who just can't make their minds up and you love them.

Well done! Thank you Dr Thompson.

Wonderful 🙏

Excellent message! God bless you! ❤

I'm keen to see my dogs again. Or at least to see dogs again.

Wonderful ! Amen and amen ! What immense privilege to be a Christian! So biblical, warm and compelling - joyous! Thank you.

Job just wanted to know what he did wrong, not all that other stuff. God loved what Job said because he was a man who was perfect and upright as God said more than once. When Job was shown a whole new side of God in their discourse, he loved God even more. God was not berating Job; He was rewarding him. The evil forces received a fatal blow to their assertion that men always act out of greedy self-interest, because Job showed otherwise.

Thank you my Lord for putting it on the heart of this man to share you're magnificent glory with us In such a joyful way. Amen

I am homesick

We sometimes forget who our God really is as we tend to pat ourselves on the back. • "For to this end, we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe." (1 Timothy 4:10)

Thank you 🙏 for this amazing message

I just stop in to express my feelings. I no longer even listen to the talking heads in DC anymore. I don’t care how well they talk as talk is cheap. Nothing is being done, just talk. We are loosing our country.

this message was marvelous!!

sooooo good sermon

Fyi, you can listen to Derek Thomas at 1.75 speed. You're welcome

An Interesting sermon spoken with a European accent.

Derek is one of my favorite teachers

Amen!!

Praise the lord Thank you lord 🙏🙏🙏

"He doesn't will the salvation of anyone." I'm quite certain Mr. Thomas misspoke.

Thank you

Amen brother.

Well, actually, No. Many Christians have wrongfully jumped over their responsibilities clearly displayed by the Savior in All Four Gospels, and the Book of Acts, to be a successful Apostolic people of Signs, Wonders, and Miracles. But instead, they want to avoid those given responsibilities of moving in any successful Gift of the Holy Spirit, and instead they want to have their various interpretations, by jumping to the Book of Revelations so they can get their Get-Off-The-Earth-FREE Card because they need to imagine Jesus must be returning to rescue them. And if the accuracy of history is any indications, once again, with all due respect, the same way well-intentioned others, were so very wrong over hundreds, even thousands of years, and, amazing as it must sound, those of the current era, are completely wrong once again.

God does know.

AMEN

No there isn't. God does not love those he does not save. Love in the Bible is not a feeling its an action "Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated". Christ does not love the goats, That a monsterous lie to claim God loves the damned.

Most believe that we are near to the wrath of God, yet none seem to heed a commandment of God given by the prophet John the baptist, 7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits WORTHY of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? *>11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

For Jesus's Easter holiday season today not many Christians attending service but thinking about what's for dinner or who got more Easter basket candy.I am glad there were some people that celebrated Jesus's reservation today.

I like to say that God made this magnificent universe in just 6 days! He has now been decorating our new Heaven and new Earth for more than 2 million days! Now how glorious will that be by comparison?

Maranatha❤

He means CNN, not Fox

Another amazing herald of truth. Thank you Dr. Ferguson and all of you at Ligonier Ministries! 🙏♥️🙏

It is a lie that God loves the reprobate. Romans 9:11-13; Psalm 11:5.

Thank you ever so much..wounderful words of hope..bless you greatly.

What a wonderful God we serve- sustain us! Thank you Lord Jesus ❤

Ypr

Praise God for this powerful sermon!!

Was it ever possible that God would effectually call the reprobate?

Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus ❤

Thank you for preaching God’s word!

What a lovely sermon. God bless that man! If only the pagans overrunning our churches today could have ears to hear. Ironic isn’t it, that our mission field is turning out to be in our own congregations. God help us!

Is Luke 16 19-31 A parable. As Derek stated?

Awesome 👍 Thanks

The end is only a new beginning

Self ref pts 28:13 37:27 38:09

Praise the LORD

The end of what?

YES!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Can you imagine if the second coming was 100 years from now? Scoffers will surely question the lack of a second coming if it takes that much more time! Problem is, that's about how long it's going to take according to the best interpretation I've seen. Most of the scoffing I have seen is toward those like me who think the second coming is 100 years from now because so many are proclaiming the immenant return of the Son of Man. I guess in order to get youtube hits, you got to put out a video about how we are just about to be raptured away or something like that.

Amen brother

R.c. maintained that Peter was writing to the Elect only and therefore the "any" that God does not want to perish was any of the Elect.

# HOLY SCRIPTURES Clearly SAY..."The Living Know That They Shall Die, But The Dead Know Not Anything." ECCLESIASTES 9:5 # HOW DO YOU SAY THAT Our Loved Ones Are In Heaven & Know What Is Going On..On The Earth??!! # HOLY SCRIPTURES NEVER SAY THAT THE ANIMALS/PETS WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!!! DON'T CREATE YOUR OWN FAIRY TALE IMAGINATIONS!!

The end is not coming!

The dark "gospel" of Calvinism. God created some(elect) to save and the majority, to judge and torture forever in order to "display His Glory" while the "few" spend their eternity rejoicing (if they can) as they behold the suffering of the rest, including their dearest. Lifts you does it not? Not me, The True Good News is far brighter than that. Not sure how many minutes this post will survive but , anyway.

His accent throws me off. Is it Scandinavian or German?

Yeah, this old earth is not supplying us with a quality of life, the air and the water is getting poluted, it's about time for a new heavens and earth. I'm glad he waited for me. The holey o-zone was warning to us the heaven is wearing out like an old garment. Yeah, it is about time.

What is a pet, but a distraction to love the creature rather than the creator?

Yes I’m asking where is God And nothing you’ve said changes that Who Ami to ask? I’m the one going through it Of course I’m asking This answers nothing

No. God does not desire to save the REPROBATE

Do you know why pastors do not want you to listen to the audio bible on your e devices? They want to control your inputs and thereby make you dependent. Matthew 23:13

Like many he misleads many

Why does Calvinist believe in repentance but only certain people will be saved? Isn’t that a form of judgement on their part? Can’t any person receive Jesus Christ as their savior, be reborn and repent? Change of mind can be as simple as changing the mind of belief. Our behavior or walk in Christ after we have received Christ is the baby steps we take when reborn and grow closer to Christ. I’m very confused on why Calvinist focus on the elect rather than encourage others to receive Christ. Yes, God knows everything and he knows whom will be saved and who will not. But if he is patient as you say, he is patient for some to repent? Don’t get me wrong, I never question the creator of the universe and us humans for his purpose but I question why certain teachers of the doctrine don’t breach the sinners prayer to lead them to salvation or the Great Commission commanded to us Christian’s which is to spread the gospel and teach or lead ppl to Christ. The patience of Christ may be that he’s waiting for just that, the great commission. My point, you not I can or never will know whom is predestined until we followers approach that persons heart by any means necessary. Tv, phone, in person, etc… Why the focus on elect as if you are the chosen elect? I have watched many of these videos and get confused on your intentions to lead any person that needs to be to Christ. Who is the author of confusion? Should I be confused or should your message be simple? I feel you are discouraging men and women to repent because the seed you are planting is the seed of doubt. I doubt I am predestined because of the sin I had in my life?? Hmmm! But only God knows if I was predestined to repent. The elect only matters to God. The elect in the Bible refers to those left behind after the rapture that were predestined to stay behind, change their mind and spread the message of anti christ existence and that he is not Jesus. The elect 144,000 Jews. I’ve read about the elect and that is the only doctrine that discusses the elect after the rapture. If you’re stand is that we are in the days of the elect then the rapture would have taken place already, correct. I don’t know why Calvinist believe and stress mainly on the elect but I do believe their theology is incorrect. Salvation is a gift, it’s simple and made available to all that they may not perish. It’s not up to us to determine whom the predestined are, it’s up to us to begin the great commission and share the straight gospel of Jesus Christ our savior from eternal damnation. At first site when I was watching your teaching, I thought finally sound doctrine, which I believe you do for the most part but you are not keeping the main thing the main thing! I do doubt that some of the very wealthy false teachers on msm are not using the sinners prayer in correct context but I am deeply concerned that you are not using the sinners prayer to lead ppl to Christ. Why aren’t you? Answer that very simple question to change my mind about your teaching. Salvation is simple and a sinners prayer leads to a reborn soul. That’s how I learned that I was predestined and to this day I believe that the sinners prayer sealed the Holy Spirit in my heart for eternity. It can never be taken away. If it could it would be like Jesus saying, oh, I just wanted to tease you and bounce in and out of your heart! Blasphemy! Once a person speaks to Jesus Christ and humbly admits he is a sinner and believes Jesus is the son of God in the flesh whom was sent to this earth to give us hope and shed his blood on Calvary to wash away my sins. The atonement for my sins. I will always by imperfect and be a sinner saved by the grace of God. I just hope ppl don’t get discouraged by your teaching and lose hope or their faith. Faith is a substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen. I have faith and assurance based on the living word of God… the KJV Bible doctrine. The holy spirit that lives within me is much stronger than the spirit of your doubt. Amen!
