The gospel will only advance when the needs of the church are properly addressed. The members of the church have spiritual and physical needs that must be met with both word and deeds. Therefore, the love of Christian neighbor in the church requires a division of labor between those called to the ministry of word and prayer and those called to serve people's physical needs.

In all three of the synoptic gospels Jesus says something to this effect: “I am among you as one who serves .” The word “serves” in the original Greek is diakoneō which is where we get our English word deacon . A deacon is a servant — something we’re all called to be as followers of Jesus. And this scene in John’s gospel demonstrates for us, in a dramatic and very memorable way, what Jesus means b...

Paul encourages us in Philippians 4:8 that “whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise , think about these things!” When it comes to praise, we quickly default to whatever is true, honorable, pure, lovely, and commendable. How about whatever is just ? Is...

Cue the DJ, raise your glasses, and make some noise in honor of the Beast and his Bride! She looks quite alluring in a certain light — a true marvel of beauty. But upon closer inspection, she’s not the honorable, virtuous woman she initially appears to be. The woman introduced to us in Revelation 17 completes the picture of Satan’s doomed kingdom . Enjoy this message from Revelation 17 preached at...

War is a constant source of anxiety, fear, and frustration no matter where we live or in what year we live! War is nothing new and it’s not going away. Jesus told us to expect more wars and conflict as the end draws near, not less . Scripture tells us that this is part of the great escalation of this “Cosmic Story” leading up to a Final Showdown between God and the Dragon. How do we prepare? That’...

There are some realities that are too great to merely discuss; they demand singing! If there is anything too great to merely discuss, if there is anything that demands singing, it is the unique and unsurpassed greatness of our holy God. At the heart of Revelation 15 is a song — a joyful song — and those standing and singing that song in God’s very presence, demand to know, “Who will not fear, O Lo...

Happy Mother's Day! You’ve probably heard that the Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint. Motherhood is also a marathon not a sprint. Endurance is required for both! And any marathon runner, or mother for that matter, will tell you that endurance requires fuel . We can’t endure and finish the race on an empty tank. In Revelation 14:14-20 we’ll see that the fear of the Lord is our fuel fo...

A message on Revelation 14:1-13 by Pastor Dana Olson.

Every one of us is a worshiper. We all pour ourselves out for something we believe will make us alive. The question isn’t, “Are we worshipers?” The real question is “Do we worship wisely?” True worship makes us alive even if it kills us. Whereas false worship will actually kill us no matter how alive it makes us feel. When it comes to worship, there ain’t nothin’ like the real thing. Because only...

In this cosmic story filled with monsters, how are the saints supposed to conquer? Jesus never promises his followers a monster-free life. Nor does he promise we’ll circumvent the kinds of tribulation and disaster they bring. Jesus fully expects his people to not only face monsters, but to come out victorious over them! Revelation 13:1-10 offers three loud “monster-conquering” battle cries for the...

Enjoy this special message on the Lamb of God given by Pastor Chris Johnson.

The story of Lazarus serves the fuller narrative of John’s gospel by foreshadowing the greater resurrection we celebrate on Easter — the triumph of Jesus over sin and death and hell for all who believe! The resurrection of Christ amplifies the story of Lazarus’ such that now his story resonates forward to us today with even deeper significance and power. Because Christ died and rose again, the voi...

Life is an extraordinary thing! Jesus longs for us to have life so bad it hurts! Do you believe this? If you’re not a Christian, Jesus wants you to believe and have life in him so bad it hurts. If you are a Christian, this is how much Jesus wants others to have life in him. If Jesus longs for people to find life in him this badly, shouldn’t we as well? Join us as we look into John 11:17-37. 

Today, love is very much self-defined . Love is what we say it is based on what we want or feel we need. Jesus wants us to understand love on his terms. In fact, the way Jesus loves us actually frees us from the cold, dark, tomb of self. His love resurrects us from the grave of self-defined love. Let’s see together how Jesus loves in this way in John 11:1-16.

This Revelation of Jesus Christ was originally for the seven churches in Asia Minor who were chosen to represent the entire church of Jesus Christ throughout all of history, including us. Some were faithful. Some were not so faithful. Some were standing firm. Some were teetering on the edge of ruin. Good or bad, all the churches are threatened by various pressures both internal and external. And a...

In a world that’s lost its mind, what kind of voice is needed? Maybe the world simply needs to hear a voice of reason? What about a nice soothing therapeutic voice? Or maybe a strong, convincing, political voice? Or an inspirational voice or influential voice? What kind of voice is going help people come to their senses and turn to God? Revelation 10 will show us that the kind of voice needed is a...

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. That’s humanity in a nutshell. We try to live our lives on our own without giving the God who made us and loves us a second thought. Every generation tries in vain to live according to its own made-up rules, for its own self-satisfying purposes, thinking, “Who needs God?” And it never works out! This is...
