Revelation feels so otherworldly. It feels like a science fiction novel placed at the end of a rather large chunk of books that are timeless, ancient, but timeless. The Bible opens with us getting to know Yahweh, getting to know Jesus and His followers, and then right smack dab on the end, we're taught,” “And this Book is about a whole new cast of characters and dramas yet to take place,” and it f...

We *finally* get to the juicy parts in Revelation and already we might have questions! Who is the First Horseman? Is he the antichrist? How did the Antichrist figure come about, when the Evangelist John seems to know the same name as any number of people who oppose Christ? And even when we DO come to some sort of possibility of identifying a horseman, what's the practical take away?

What does Paul say about the implications of Christ's resurrection in the Book of Romans? Asst. Supt. of the Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends shares 4 impacts of the Resurrection in Romans 1-8.

Suppose I turn on my microwave, and it starts sparking, and it’s not cooking my meal, I’m not going to stand there and say, “What do I do?” I know what to do! Pull the plug! Put the fire out! But it might seem to you and me when it comes to this world the sparks are happening. The fire’s going, and God, the One who has His hand on the cord, and knows what to do, He’s not doing anything right now,...

Here is the worship due God, it's both an ideal to strive towards, but also a sight in itself to behold. The holiness of God. The grandeur of God. The worthiness of God. One can try to explain it logically, mathematically, in words. Experientially is where people will understand the beauty, the application, the point of Revelation 4.

There are whiny, boo-hooing, sadness sorts of Christian; that is the view that some have on Christianity. It’s a bunch of people who want to do things, but have rules, so they can’t, so they’re just - you know - sad all the time. Woe-is-me. Pity partying. Does Christ offer a different sort of life with Him? What are the fruits of the Spirit? Who are Overcomers?

Do you call yourself a Christian? The faithful saints in the Bible professed Yahweh as their God, and Christ as their Lord, and their belief led to action. Works. Deeds. What does your belief do?

Often Christians and other loud voices voice their opinions about how horrible the latest outrageous news is. How rude, offensive! I know, it's amazing that even in today’s soft-spoken, everyone loving each other, united world, somebody voiced outrage that things would even happen! I’m invested in one city. In one country. My emotional investment. My patriotism. My whole-hearted care. My home is i...

What if I told you that if you have goals, and if that goal is who God wants you to be. Who He’s made you to be. Who He’s made His church to be. If you have that goal – and it should be a goal - then there’s nothing stopping you or me from attaining that goal! If your life this far has been, “Christ met me. He saved me. And now I’ve been following Him,” but following Him only looks like a life whe...

For this special Sunday, all the churches in Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends (NWYM) are sending their representatives to Newberg OR for the annual sessions of Yearly Meeting. Furthermore, each church in the Yearly Meeting are having Yearly Meeting Sunday, each listening to this same message.

“Your work stinks,” That’s what Jesus is saying to the Sardis Christians, “Your work stinks.” And that’s got to hurt. “I know your works; you have a name of being alive, but you are dead.” And I wondered, “What does this mean?”

For those Christians in Thyatira who had remained faithful when Jezebel and her followers did not? It could’ve been dark. It could’ve been lonely at times. And when the culture wasn’t looking down on them or withholding money from them because they weren't participating in the pagan, ritualistic cultic feasts with sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols, then their fellow brothers and siste...

SERMON VAULT: Originally preached 9/11/16. Its melancholy, that it's likely unknown to the disciples, but obviously on the mind of Jesus front and center: is their final passing through Galilee. Jesus doesn’t take time to minister there, He doesn’t capitalize off of His recent miracles, He doesn’t do anything to bring in more disciples or people around because He’s interested in one thing, teachin...

When the world has put forth lies for so long, hoping that people forget what’s true versus what’s been lied about, what’s been deceptively manipulated and presented - God’s doesn’t forget. He doesn’t forget. Everything is uncovered. Exposed.

The church, the Christians, universal, are a frail people, I believe. We sin, we have peculiar ways, strong beliefs, and tendencies to stray. The truth is, is Christ calls people to repent. To get back on track. To strive with Him, and walk with Him, and follow Him, and for the overcomer, it will always be worth it!

The Ephesians were doing all the right things, weren't they? They were stopping bad teachers, serving the right people, building bridges, dodging bullets! They only lacked one thing, was it a big thing? Jesus says so. His Whole Word says so.

Many profess quite freely that THE BIBLE is about JESUS. But even some believers in such sentiments get to Revelation, and ask, "What is this about?" "Prophecies, I guess. Maybe... disaster? Catastrophes?" Instead of Revelation being about prophetic fulfillments, maybe it's just about the fulfillment of Christ in all things!

The Reformers, like Calvin, Luther, or even Matthew Henry, John Knox, or the Wesleys – did they teach, and did the kids running around in their times – 16, 17, 1800s believe in the left behindism? And you might say, “Hah, nice try! You can’t pull that one over me! Of course they couldn’t have imagined a one world nation, and the other creepy features of Left Behind,” but then you might think they...

Are the ones we based our faith-walk on going to find us faithful? Will your parent or relative who led you to Christ? Will your teacher, pastor or mentor? How about the church you were saved at? Most importantly, will Christ find us faithful in a faithless generation?
