In the Lord's Hand: Cups of Judgement, Suffering and Salvation

<p>Ian Rees bases this short Bible teaching on Psalm 75&#39;s striking image - &#39;in the hand of the Lord there is a cup&#39; - and surveys the major &quot;cups&quot; of Scripture. He outlines cups of divine judgement on individuals and nations (with references to David, Isaiah 51, Jeremiah 25 and Revelation), then turns to the cups associated with Christ: his cup of suffering, the cup of remembrance at the Lord&#39;s Supper, and the wider cup of fellowship Paul warns about in 1 Corinthians 10.</p><p>Ian balances exposition with practical application: Christians are urged to take the cup of salvation (Psalm 116), to live out the Lord&#39;s Supper throughout the week, and to avoid identification with the world&#39;s or demonic &#39;cups&#39; (illustrated by a testimony from Botswana). The talk closes with an invitation to thoughtful, consistent discipleship in light of God&#39;s providence and Christ&#39;s atoning work.</p>
