In this message we look at yet another majestic portrait of Jesus. Revelation 19 presents Jesus like we have never seen Him before in the Bible. Heaven opens and Jesus arrives on a white horse. Jesus is portrayed as the Conquering King who overcomes all oppositions to His Kingdom and establishes the reign of God. In this message Ashwin will address the meaning of these military metaphors in Revelation mean. He will also address the practical implications of Jesus' return and how this has the power to sustain us in the most trying times of our life. Most importantly, be prepared to be challenged by yet another powerful image of Jesus in this amazing book. Join us for the concluding message of this series!

In Revelation 12 we are introduced to three characters: a pregnant woman, a male child and a fierce dragon. While the dragon attempts to devour the child, the child is miraculously caught up to the throne of God. In typical apocalyptic language the Apostle John presents the gospel message and the defeat of Satan. Jesus is the dragon slayer and we overcome the enemy today through the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. This portrait of Jesus as victor puts all of our current struggles into perspective and provides strategies for us as we face temptations, condemnation, evil and injustice in our world today.

When Jesus called His Church, in Matthew 28, to ‘go and make disciples’, He also revealed that the primary vehicle He would use to bring people to Himself and to build His kingdom around the world would be through His followers - His Church. This is why the Church really matters and it must be committed to introducing people to Jesus and accomplishing God’s redemptive purposes in the world.
