  • The Tribulation, Kingdom, and Perseverance in Revelation

    The Tribulation, Kingdom, and Perseverance in Revelation

    Last week, we saw that Christ’s dominion underlies the whole book of Revelation. In this waltz, Christ the Lord is dancing with His church. The whole book shows us how God is dancing with His church through redemptive history and into the coming age. What is Christ’s basic relationship with His church? Revelation 1:9-20 I,…

  • Christ Doesn’t Exist For Us, We Exist For Him

    Christ Doesn’t Exist For Us, We Exist For Him

    I attended a youth leadership camp in Oklahoma after I knew God was calling me into ministry. The man preaching for the group I was in wore a jersey, carried a handheld mic, and charismatically delivered a message each day. When he finished, the whole group applauded him. Since that was my exposure to preaching,…

  • Urgency Of Christ’s Message- Revelation’s Cadence

    Urgency Of Christ’s Message- Revelation’s Cadence

    I grew up thinking the church was a joke because what I saw didn’t match the what the Bible said God wanted. The longer COVID-19 goes on, the more I realize that the majority church really is a joke. Just the other day, I saw an evangelist calling people to give their stimulus checks to…

  • Introduction To Revelation

    Introduction To Revelation

    The accepted author of Revelation is John, the Apostle, disciple, and elder. The same John who wrote John’s Gospel and 1, 2, and 3 John. Some scholars date John’s Revelation to the 60s AD and some to the 90s AD. Arguments in favor of the latter date are more persuasive and generally more accepted. As…

  • End-Times Views

    End-Times Views

    Our local church has been asking so many questions about end-times and the Bible it became necessary for me to teach on the end times. So, the elders and I decided the best way is for me to walk through the book of Revelation. Before we get into Chapter 1, verse 1, and begin walking…

  • Embracing New Creation

    Embracing New Creation

    As people, we are so stubborn. I could share story after story of people in my life whom I would consider to be stubborn (and, indeed, we probably probably all thought of someone), but here I really want to focus on our relationship with our Lord. We believe, for instance, that God wants to do…

  • Rewards and Sacrifice

    Rewards and Sacrifice

    When I was little, it was such a sacrifice for me to clean my room. I was so busy all of the time. I had school. I had to play video games. I had to practice machine pitch in the evenings. My mom made me go to church. I had to eat dinner. There was…

  • Christian Luxury? (considering the resurrection)

    Christian Luxury? (considering the resurrection)

    Resurrection Sunday. Today we celebrate Christ’s resurrection from the grave and His victory over death. Because of Christ’s victory, we can all have victory in Him. This is the message that we hear ever year at this time and every year at this time we read of Christ’s resurrection. The message is so clear and…

  • God’s People and Perseverance

    God’s People and Perseverance

    Often times, we speak of perseverance in terms of the runner. The runner will go the distance and finish the race well by the work of denying his own exhaustion. The perseverance of the Christian is similar, correct? ______________________________ _____________________________ Here, I would like to pose a simple question. If we compare Christian perseverance in…

  • God’s Witnesses

    God’s Witnesses

    As we continue through the book of Revelation, I want to caution us again about trying to put together a timeline of events. This was not John’s purpose for writing and if we try to do this today, we will be more confused than enlightened. Though John’s Revelation seems to follow a basic path of…
