The Crown Rewards

Mark Palmer walks through the crowns promised to believers in the New Testament, beginning in Revelation 3 with the warning to hold fast so that no man takes your crown. He covers the crown of righteousness in 2 Timothy 4, the crown of life in James 1 and Revelation 2, the crown of glory in 1 Peter 5, the incorruptible crown in 1 Corinthians 9, and the crown of rejoicing in 1 Thessalonians 2, showing the qualification and the reward attached to each. His repeated point is simple: rewards are lost by quitting, so keep serving, keep reading the Bible, keep praying, and keep telling others about Jesus. Pastor Pierucki closes with remarks on the seriousness of our choices, putting God first before family, and living with a surrendered heart.
