Psalm 24 Ryan Armstrong Guest Speaker Pastor Ryan Armstrong of OneFamily Church in Apopka, FL shares a special message from Psalm 24. 

Psalm 23 Zack Casey  Being a sheep doesn’t mean the path is going to be easy and prosperous or free from pain and mistakes, but no matter how far we stray from His path, God’s loving kindness chases us down to bring us back under the umbrella of his blessing. Our shepherd is there with us and he’s leading us to a much better pasture.  You can delight in having complete satisfaction in knowing your...

Revelation 12:9-18 Louis Tamburro Satan’s seeking our destruction, but Jesus guarantees our salvation through faith in his life, death, and resurrection...Revelation 12 says this is why you struggle so much in life, it’s why your life often feels like a battle. It’s because there is a battle, there is a war happening in your life. It’s a war for your heart, a war against everything Jesus says is g...

Revelation 12:1-9 Louis Tamburro  Today's text can at least help us get a little glimpse into the spiritual world, in which a  spiritual war, a spiritual battle between Satan and God. It’s a supernatural battle for our hearts against everything Jesus says is good for our hearts. We can follow Jesus or follow Satan in his rebellion against Jesus. The good news is behind every situation, behind...

Revelation 11:1-19 Louis Tamburro It’s easy to get discouraged in life, especially with all the discouraging things happening in our world. We can easily get discouraged every day, or we can turn to Jesus for encouragement every day. We can turn to Jesus asking him to breathe new life into us every day. There isn’t any suffering we’ll ever face, that a resurrection can’t fix.

Revelation 10:1-11 Robbie Alderman God once again shows that he is in charge and in control and is giving the world another opportunity to return to him. We must stay devoted to and love God’s word and then we must take that and share it with others. 

Revelation 9:1-21 Louis Tamburro Deep down inside both skeptics and believers know evil is a reality. We know evil is more than a concept, it’s a reality, and today’s text teaches there’s spiritual forces behind that reality. Evil, Satan, the demonic are real. Revelation 9 teaches what happens when Satan and the demonic become unleashed at the end of history. 

Revelation 8:1-13 Louis Tamburro Jesus shows John there’s a seventh seal, a seventh tribulation that’s coming, and it’ll unleash multiple catastrophic events that’ll cause greater destruction than the others. Both skeptics and believers know our world is headed for final destruction. We can find peace in knowing Jesus will bring restoration after the destruction. Jesus wants you to be a part of th...

Revelation 7:1-17 Louis Tamburro  Revelation chapter 7 teaches us is that we can still have hope during these tribulations. We can still have hope even when the worst tribulation comes at the end of history. When that day comes, we need to remember to find hope and peace in the promised salvation and shelter of our Savior.

Revelation 6:9-17 Louis Tamburro Jesus opens two more seals, releasing two more tribulations, and as we study this text we’ll learn about the grace of the lamb, and the wrath of the lion. Revelation 6 is God’s wrath being poured out on those who’ve broken his laws and rejected him as their God. But those who put their faith in Jesus will receive God’s grace instead of God’s wrath. We’ll receive et...

Revelation 6:1-8 Louis Tamburro Sin and evil have an expiration date, which is good news for our lives, relationships, and world. We’d much rather live in a world where sin and evil have an expiration date, and the good news is that world is coming for those who put their faith in Jesus. Find hope in knowing the world you want without sin and evil destroying our lives, relationships, and world is...

Revelation 5: 1-14 Zack Casey  Revelation 5 is a secret document telling of God’s coming Kingdom, His plans for salvation, and His plans for judgment. It’s literally God’s plan for taking back the universe, written down, and sealed. 

Revelation 4:1-11 Louis Tamburro  In this 2nd vision John receives of Jesus and the Cosmos, we’re learning God is infinitely greater than we can imagine or describe, and so is the heaven he’s taking us to. Today’s text can give us peace, because it teaches our world isn’t always going to be as chaotic as it is today. It teaches God has a plan for those who put their faith in Jesus. It’s a plan tha...

Revelation 3:14-22 Robbie Alderman Revival can start with anyone, but it must start with someone church. Revival was needed in the Church at Laodicea. They needed to wake up from their apathetic lives and break out of their comfortable lifestyles and come awake to the Gospel of Jesus.  We want the same thing for our city and our church. Our mission is to awaken both skeptics and believers to the G...

Scripture: Revelation 3:7-13 Speaker: Louis Tamburro Big Idea: Jesus opens and closes doors, but there's one door that can't ever be closed.

Scripture: Revelation 3:1-6 Pastor: Louis Tamburro Big Idea: Jesus cares more about our transformation than our reputation.

Scripture: Revelation 2:18-29 Pastor: Louis Tamburro Big Idea: It isn't loving to tolerate sins that are destructive to our lives and relationships.

Scripture: Revelation 2:12-17 Pastor: Alex Robinson Big idea: Faithfulness to Christ calls us to stand out from the world, not to blend in with it.

Revelation 2:8-11 Louis Tamburro The worst is yet to come, but so is the best. Jesus never promised the Christians in Smyrna and he never promised us that life would be easy. He never promised them or us that we wouldn’t face anymore afflictions in life. In fact he says the opposite of that, which is that more afflictions are coming. He says that the world is going to get worse before it gets bett...

Revelation 2:1-7 Louis Tamburro Our lives and our church will eventually fall apart like it did for the Ephesians, if we abandon Jesus as our greatest love in life. But the good news is Jesus cared enough to give the Ephesian Christians a corrective plan to follow back then, and he cared enough to have John write that corrective plan down for us to follow today. If you’re a believer, your eternal...

Revelation 1:9-20 Louis Tamburro  Jesus is greater than your greatest afflictions. The good news of the gospel is that Jesus used his great power to die for our sins on the cross, and to rise again on the 3rd day so we can enjoy eternal life in heaven with him. He used his great power to prove even our greatest affliction of sin and death, can’t overcome the power of his death and resurrection. If...

Revelation 1:1-8 Louis Tamburro Revelation points us to find peace in Jesus, who is the Alpha and Omega of our lives...If you’re trying to find peace in something else you’ll never find it, because that something else is just a Beta. Whatever your concerns are, whatever your current and future concerns are, you need an Alpha over those concerns not a Beta. You need an Alpha over those concerns, an...

Matthew 6:25-34 Louis Tamburro  You know Jesus cares about you because of Christmas and the cross. The Christmas message is all about the incarnate birth of Jesus, and how he’s the Prince of Peace who came to give us the gift of eternal peace in heaven with him, through faith in him dying for our sins on the cross. His incarnate birth proves he cares about us so much, that he was willing to enter...

Philippians 4:1-13 Louis Tamburro The entire Christmas message is about the incarnate birth of Jesus coming to die for your sins on the cross, so you can enjoy an eternal relationship in heaven with him. If Jesus didn’t care about you, he wouldn’t have died for you. But he died for you, because he cares about you. He’s the Prince of Peace and he can give you a much stronger peace and stability tha...

Ephesians 2:11-22 Louis Tamburro  Everybody wants peace, but the reality is we face things every day threatening to rob our peace. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, who can give us the gift of peace, and he can give others in our city the gift of peace. The more aligned you are with Christ, the more at peace you’ll be in life.
