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

The observance of Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is one of two "ordinances" that God gave the church, the second being baptism.

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…
