Sermons - Revelation Church

Revelation 11 is one of the book's most complex and debated chapters. We finish the "pause" at the end of chapter 10 with the last trumpet. The chapter's message proclaims that the church's witness is dangerous, prophetic, effective, and for everyone.

Revelation 10 shows us that God's message is authoritative, inevitable, and bittersweet. As we figure out God's message to us in this text, we can consider what our response, as faithful Christians, should be.

This text in Revelation shows the frightening imagery in John's visions. It takes a look at the dark side of spirituality. This passage should wake us up to this bigger world and help us take our lives more seriously, motivating us to share the good news with others.

Revelation 8 invites us to embrace God's judgment. Why should we embrace God's judgment? Because it is just, it is an answer to prayer, and it is merciful.

In chapter 7 we see a great army, sheltered by God, shepherded by the Lamb, the resurrected Jesus. And He leads us out of exile and brings us to our true home.

How long until there is justice? How long until the resurrection? How long until God's people are complete? These cries resonate with us today as we often get impatient while we wait on God. But we can rest knowing that He knows exactly what He is doing.

Chapter 6 starts with John watching as the Lamb of God opens the first of seven seals. These seals are revealing God’s judgments on the earth through wars, famine, and death. How should we interpret the symbolism in Revelation and what does it mean for our lives?

Revelation chapter 5 shows us why Jesus is worthy of worship. He conquers through his cross, redeeming a people from out of all the nations, and restoring creation to the glory that it was meant to always have.

Chapter 4 gives an opportunity to learn about worship, The One who is worshiped, the ones who worship, and the worship itself.

On Easter Sunday, we take a look at Paul's explanation of what the news of the death and resurrection of Christ is. What does it mean if it is fake, and what does it mean if it is true?

Jesus' words to the Church at Laodicea are heavy, but not hopeless. His rebuke to the church is filled with love and shows His desire to draw near to us.

Jesus has a hard message for the church of Sardis. He warns that there is no halfway Christian. Jesus gives all of himself to us and he requires the same in return.

In this message to the church of Thyatira, we see Jesus paying attention to the outward actions of Thyatira. How does this reconcile with our belief that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone?

In the message to Pergamum, Jesus has some thoughts about tolerance within the people of God. How can we apply Jesus' warnings to the church of Pergamum to our lives here, today?

The message to the church at Smyrna is a meditation on death and the posture that Jesus intends us to have toward it.

What can we apply to our lives from the commendations, corrections, and warnings to the church of Ephesus?

In Revelation 1, John breaks out two big ideas that we need to practice building out trust in: What God is like, and Who we are because of Him.

The assumptions we make about how John wrote the Book of Revelation will skew our understanding of it. Using the Old Testament as the key to his writing process gives us some insight into how to study this book.

Take a look at four questions regarding the book of Revelation: Who is the author? Who is the audience? When was it written? And, why was it written?

Before we can understand a book, we have to understand its genre. The book of Revelation is 3 different genres- apocalypse, prophecy, and it's a letter.

Look back on 2023 and hear from members of the church and how God moved in their lives throughout the year.

Over the years the candles of the Advent wreath have come to represent the four gifts we receive from God- Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.

Advent is a season of waiting, of feeling the discontentment that comes from promises that have yet to be fulfilled. Then Jesus comes to fulfill these promises.

Good news is good for different people in different ways. Mary's song tells us that the good news changes all of us.

Simplicity and generosity are expressions of the very character of God. God is a generous giver and His generosity is on full display at Advent, as he gives himself to us in his son.
