Sermon Outline:
Isaiah 25:6–9 (NKJV)
6And in this mountain The Lord of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees.
7And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations.
8He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.
9And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
I. Heaven is a lavish banquet

Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face – Horatius Bonar
1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face;
Here would I touch and handle things unseen;
Here grasp with firmer hand Th’eternal grace,
And all my weariness upon thee lean.
2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God;
Here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven;
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
