Judgment begins at the House of God. It has always been that way, and it is an OT principle that applies to the NT Church as well.
Seven principles are discussed in this sermon.
1. Don't be surprised when trials come 2. Trials bring their own blessing 3. Receiving the natural recompenses that come from sin is not in itself “a trial”. 4.
