Sunday Sermons from The Village Chapel

What does the Bible teach about the End Times, the Millennium, the Lake of Fire, and the Great White Throne Judgment? When will these things take place and how will they impact those who resist God and/or those who surrender to God? What can we really know about these things? What timeless lessons can we learn from this amazing vision God gave to the apostle John? Join Pastor Jim for this hope fil...

In the book of Revelation the ancient name of Babylon represents the false religious system and all the forces of wickedness and evil who have set themselves against God and against the Lamb. Chapter 18 describes the swift and scrupulous, righteous judgement of God in which He brings an end to Babylon in a vindication of God’s good name and of the trust and faith of God’s people down through the a...

One of the most important questions we can ask ourselves is, “Whom or what do we worship?” We do have options on this but the impact on our lives is more significant than some would know. Join Pastor Jim as he opens up the treasures of Revelation 17 for us and leads us to see the beauty and majesty of Jesus, our Redeemer.

Revelation 16 continues the description of the unfolding cycle of the 7 bowls of God’s wrath to be poured out upon a sinful, darkening and rebellious world. This chapter is sobering, yet it offers us hope that God intends to right every wrong. God offers abundant mercy and is exceedingly patient with those who are set against him and his good ways. But, sin and evil have an expiration date. Join P...

Revelation 15 describes the unfolding cycle of 7 bowls or cups of God’s wrath to be poured out upon a sinful, darkening and rebellious world. This short chapter can easily be broken into two sections. The first section being about worship and the second about witness. Each of us participate in both all the time. The questions become: who/what are we worshiping? And what is the testimony of our wit...

Revelation 14 briefly asks and answers two pressing questions: First, what will ultimately happen to the Beast and all those who are marked as his? Second, what ultimately becomes of those who belong to God, yet who may endure suffering or death? Join Pastor Jim as he unpacks this often overlooked chapter that summarizes God’s wise warnings to those who have rejected Christ, and stirs hope among t...

Join us as Scotty Smith continues our study of the book of Revelation. Chapter 13 gives us a picture of Satan's attempts to destroy the people of God and to keep Christians and non-Christians worshipping anything/anyone but Jesus. But, God is the sovereign ruler over all, including Satan, and God's people will be held fast through the blood of the Lamb. Support the show To find more reso...

Revelation 11 overflows with images and events that lead up to the sounding of the 7th trumpet and the foreshadowing of the return of the rightful king of all creation. Here we find the measuring of a temple of the worshipers of God, the significant and powerful work of two witnesses in the world, the beast from the abyss, and a world that has gone stark raving mad in their celebration of all that...

Throughout its pages the Bible reminds us that we need redemption. This is because our natural tendency is to think and act apart from God. We live as if God does not exist or, if God does exist, He does not matter. It is this lust for autonomy that ends up being self-destructive, has broken us and will continue to lead us to the wreck and ruin of our lives. Revelation 9 shows us how God has offer...

Sometimes the silence of heaven can seem deafening. The third vision of Revelation opens chapter 8 with just such an unexpected silence. What is going on? What is God up to? Then follows a series of 7 trumpet blasts each signaling the divine shaking of everything humanity has put its trust in that is not God. Join Pastor Jim as he explores the meaning of all this and shows us the kindness of God’s...

Revelation 7 is an interlude between the 6th and the 7th seal. The camera has shifted towards the heavenly realm where we find the sealed people of God in vibrant worship. In this vision we are given a glimpse of the innumerable Church gathered together from every tribe, tongue and nation giving praise. This multitude has been sealed, they are singing and they are fully satisfied as they worship G...

What are the 7 seals and who are the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse we read about in Revelation 6? What is the best way to understand the prophetic aspects of a book like Revelation?

Revelation 4 and 5 give us a glimpse into the throne room of heaven and what an amazing vision it is! Here we find incredible images of an important scroll held closed by 7 seals and the momentary realization that there might be no one worthy to open the scroll. John begins to weep in despair until one of the elders steps forward to point him to Jesus who is described as the Lion of Judah, the Roo...

The last of the 7 letters to the 7 churches found in Revelation 2-3 is the final piece of the 1st of the book’s 7 vision segments. This letter offers a final word of realistic evaluation and loving exhortation to all those who belong to Christ and His church. How can we move from the complacency and nominalism of half-hearted worship to a robust and passionate, whole-hearted commitment to Christ,...

The 6th letter of 7 was addressed to the church in the ancient city of Philadelphia. They were commended for their deeds and for their faithfulness to Christ, His Word and His Name. They had persevered under persecution and marginalization but they were exhausted, weakened and needed hope. Jesus reminded them that He could take their weaknesses and turn them into opportunities for His glory. Join...

The third chapter of Revelation begins with a letter to the church at Sardis, which looks vibrant on the outside but is dying on the inside. Jesus comes to this church with a call to wake up and remember the Good News they have heard and received. What about us? Do we also need awakening to the Good News? Join Matt Pierson as he brings us this message of an encouraging wake-up call from Revelatio...

The 4th letter to the early Christian churches in Asia Minor was addressed to the church in Thyatira. This time Jesus deals with the problems of spiritual syncretism and a weakness in the church leadership. The result was that the church was vulnerable to being enchanted by idolatry and immorality. What timeless lessons can we learn from this ancient letter in the book of Revelation? Join Pastor J...

The letter to the angel of the church in Pergamum deals with the issues: spiritual vigilance and moral vitality. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the church in Pergamum? What did they struggle with back then and what can we learn from the encouragement and exhortations of Jesus to the church at Pergamum? Join Pastor Jim as he helps us learn from this powerful and timeless letter. Support...

The test of faithfulness can be how it responds to the incursion of suffering. The church of ancient Smyrna was suffering persecution, poverty and imprisonment at an unprecedented level. In the second of seven letters to seven churches in ancient Asia Minor, Jesus wanted John to convey His promise of comfort and hope. Join Pastor Jim as he reminds us that when we are with Jesus, we are never alone...

As we begin studying the 7 Letters to the 7 Churches in Revelation 2-3 we are immediately reminded of how familiarity can breed indifference. How did the church in Ephesus come to abandon their first love for Christ? What made them wander or drift away from loving the Lord? Join Pastor Jim for this helpful look at some of the timeless truths of scripture. Support the show To find more resources li...

The second half of chapter one of Revelation records the opening vision John has of Jesus Christ. It is nothing short of mind-blowing, eye-popping and heart-thumping. And it drops John to the ground at the feet of Jesus. What the church so often needs, what every individual believer so often needs is to get back to the feet of Jesus and gain a renewed, clearer vision of who Christ is and how He lo...
