Alliance Bible Church - Mequon, Wisconsin

Does what you do matter to God? How about as it pertains to your sexuality? In this message, we will look at how the Scriptures address this important topic and how it should shape our own identity.

1. The Foundation
2. The Distortion
3. The Redemption

Text: Romans 1:18-32

Living and working around the self-proclaimed “Beer Capital of the World" presents Christians with unique questions and challenges. In this message, we'll take a look at how Christians can deal with the issue of drinking.

1. Is a Christian Allowed to Drink?
2. How Do We Drink to the Glory of God?
3. What Does This Look Like?

Text: 1 Corinthians 10:23 - 11:1

At 80 years of age, the renowned preacher David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was asked a final question: “What parting word have you for the secular man or woman who does not take Jesus Christ seriously?” To which the man of God replied; “Flee from the wrath to come and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." This is the somber and hopeful message of Revelation 14. 

1. We are prone to placing a high-gloss veneer over sin.
2. Diminishing the punishment diminishes the cross of Christ.
3. Warning of God's judgment calls for fearing Him not arguing with Him.
4. Does your life look like you're God's property?
5. Our loudest praise claims the high ground.

Text: Revelation 14

What is the cause of the church's sufferings and difficulties? The Bible's answer is deep: the rage of Satan. But Satan also works through means. In this message, we'll peak behind the curtain to see how Satan's two henchmen, government (and its leaders) and false religion, work to oppose the church and what we can do about it.

1. The Authority of Government and Its Leaders 
2. The Deception of False Religion 
3. The Way Through It

• Hold Onto Government With Biblical Appropriateness
• Always Prepare for Suffering
• Constantly Tune Your Powers of Biblical Discernment
• Trust the One Controlling the Unfolding Story

Text: Revelation 13

1. Problem

Text: 1 Corinthians 12:12-26

You may think your life is mundane. But you would be wrong. In this message, the curtain will be pulled back and we'll get a leering look at a character who is hellbent on dethroning Jesus from your life. Will he succeed? Join us to discover the answer.

Three crucial truths we need if we're going persevere in hard times:
1. Remember you are in the midst of a cosmic conflict that is profoundly spiritual.
2. Remember you're spiritual well-being is more important than your physical well-being.
3. Remember the war is won through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Text: Revelation 12

Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble..." Christians are not immune to persecution. As Revelation recalibrates our expectations for life in this world, it teaches us to expect opposition. But it never ceases to insist on the ultimate victory of Jesus and his Church.

1. Measuring the Temple
2. Two Witnesses
3. Applications

Text: Revelation 11

The book of Revelation clearly teaches the ongoing judgments of God on the world in the form of things like: war, civil strife, economic scarcity and death. Christians are not promised immunity from these. In fact, we've been given a mission to accomplish in spite of it. What is that mission? What will it be like? And how do we get the job done? Revelation 10 answers those questions.

The Christian Life in the Wilderness…
1) Keep Your Bearings
2) Be Courageous
3) Fulfill Your Commission

Text: Revelation 10

God brings about economic deterioration, the shaking of earthly power structures, the bitterness of suffering, and spiritual darkness as a wake-up call to rouse a complacent world. Don't hit the snooze button! Get up and pay attention.

Let’s get our heads around what God is saying to us by asking five basic questions:

1. Who? 
2. What? 
3. When? 
4. Where? 
5. Why?

Text: Revelation 8:6 - 9:21

Many of us are familiar with the everyday struggles, temptations and joys of social media. But in this message, let’s take a look at what the Scriptures have to say about our words and ways we use these platforms.

1. Truth vs. Lies
2. Righteous Anger vs. Unrighteous Anger
3. Stealing vs. Hard Work
4. Rotten vs. Wholesome Talk
5. Bitterness vs. Compassion

Text: Ephesians 4:17-32
