Converse With God

Revelation 19:11-21

There’s no one like Jesus. Riding on a white horse escorted by the angelic armies, eyes piercing, sword protruding from His mouth, the words inscribed on this Warrior say it all: He alone is “King of Kings and Lord of Lords”! There’s no one like Jesus! Today’s message helps us to see the power of the Word of God--both the message that Jesus speaks and the message Jesus embodies as the faithful, final spokesman of truth. Be uplifted today as you see the evil one brought down. In the victory of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, receive the promise of life eternal for all who give their lives to Him.

Passage: Revelation 19:1-10

Seven words changed the history of the world: “He is not here; He has risen” (Luke 24:6). What the angels announced in the Easter Gospel is further celebrated in the worship service of Revelation 19. In this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Jeff Alexander helps us to see how the hallelujahs of heaven inspire us to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. What Jesus inaugurated on the day of His Resurrection, He will bring to completion on the Day of His return. Those who trust in Him are invited to His “wedding supper,” where we will forever feast with Him who lives and reigns to all eternity.

John 3:16-17

In order to know the God who is love, you need to know what God's Son did on the cross of Good Friday. "For God so loved the world..." And that love most certainly includes YOU. Pastor Jeff's message comes from Mount Olive's annual Tenebrae service where we commemorate the seven last words of Christ from the cross.

Passage: Revelation 17:1-18 & 18:1-24

“Babylon” describes the evil forces that oppose Jesus and His work of redemption. In Revelation chapters 17-18, “Babylon” is condemned for her spiritual harlotry. Knowing neither lasting loyalty nor genuine love, the enemies of Christ mislead people and seek to destroy their lives. However, on the Day of Christ’s return, “Babylon” herself will be demolished, and those who remain loyal to the Lamb of God will share in His victory. In this Palm Sunday message by Pastor Jeff Alexander, we’re invited to prepare for the Day of Christ’s coming with sincere songs of praise and humble hearts of faith.

Passage: Revelation 16:1-21

Seven angels holding seven bowls pour out the wrath of heaven upon the earth in the vivid vision of Revelation ch. 16. Even in His judgments, the Lord is just and true. Do we trust His justice as much as we trust His love? Both are perfect. Both are for the purpose of drawing people to Him in repentance and faith. Today’s message concludes with the stage being set for the final showdown, “Armageddon,” and the call of Jesus for His church to remain alert and ready for Him to return in glory.

Passage: Revelation 15:1-8

World War One was said to be “the war to end all wars.” Obviously, it wasn’t. The only “war” that will bring an end to all warfare and to all of Satan’s abuse of God’s creation is the return of Christ on the “Day to end all days.” As Revelation chapter 15 describes, the 2nd Coming of Jesus will completely destroy the evil foe and his work, so that we can be completely delivered from God’s wrath and brought into His presence forever.

Revelation 14:14-20

Reading Revelation verse-by-verse has led to many good questions from listeners--a lot of the questions focused on what happens to the body and the soul of a believer when he or she dies. This week’s message seeks to tackle some of those questions and to help us better understand the biblical teaching about the “harvest” of Resurrection which Jesus Christ will bring about on the Last Day. As we wait patiently for the 2nd Coming of the Son of Man, we boldly share the saving message of His Word with the world He longs to gather to Himself.

Revelation 14:6-13

The angels pictured in Revelation 14:6-13 reveal the mission of the church. Following the lead of the heavenly messenger who bears the "eternal gospel," Christ-followers are called to extend Jesus' personal invitation for all to repent of sin and believe the good news. Through the good news of Christ's life, death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit is working to change people's hearts and lives. What a gift it is to be part of Christ's own mission to share His "eternal gospel" with the world.

Passage: Isaiah 1:17-18 & Revelation 1:4-6

Starbucks cups sure did make the headlines this holiday season, didn't they? Little did we know that a simple, red cup could get such a reaction! In this special message for CHRISTmas 2015, Pastor Jeff Alexander (with a little assistance from the "Queen of Caffeine," Saint Arbucks herself) helps us to see how seven different "Christmas Cups" can help us understand the true meaning of Jesus Christ coming into the world for us. May your cups be filled with His grace!

Passage: Revelation 8:6-9:21

The vision of the seven trumpeting angels in Revelation chapters 8-9 almost reads like an Edgar Allen Poe novel. The imagery is striking, even creepy at times, and it is sure to stick with you. Yet, the point is clear. Trusting in created things will only result in hopelessness. Trusting in the Lord Himself--revealed to us in the person and work of Jesus--is the only way of discovering lasting hope and true purpose for your life.
