Delighting in God’s Design

Delighting in God’s Design

So much of the turmoil that we experience in life has a single root problem.   The hymnwriter Joseph Scriven wrote in famous hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" these words: "O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer!" …

Last Call

Last Call

We have reached the end of the book. God's Revelation to His church, His final recorded words to them, is complete.  These last words are critical to pay attention to.  They are an epilogue of all that has been shared and they remind the reader of the importance of the letter.  They include this two-part,…

Communion Sunday

Communion Sunday

The observance of Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is one of two "ordinances" that God gave the church, the second being baptism.  Anyone with a Protestant or Catholic are familiar with both, though they are often looked at different ways.  In the message today, leading up to our observance, we are going to discuss a…

The End of the Story

The End of the Story

He Makes All Things New

He Makes All Things New

The final message on Revelation 20 was about judgment and the final purging of all evil from earth.  It was full of bad news for those who have rejected the Gospel, but it paved the way for something better for those who follow Jesus Christ. Here in Revelation 21 God reveals a taste of those…

First Resurrection or Second Death?

First Resurrection or Second Death?

Revelation 20 is one of the hardest passages in all of Scripture. Not because it is difficult to understand, but because it is very clear regarding an final judgment that will condemn all those who have not chosen to follow Jesus.  In stark language, free from unnecessary modifiers and detail, the damnation of all unbelievers…
