The devil is defeated, but he is not done fighting. In Revelation 12:7-17, John pulls back the curtain on the dragon’s defeat through Christ and his furious war against the people of God. This passage shows us why we do not need to fear Satan, how he fights against us, and how Christians overcome through the blood of the Lamb.

Hebrews 12 can be transformational. God’s word can blow away the cloud of despair and complaining that darkens your life. God’s word illuminated by the Spirit can transform pouting into praise, complaining about God into confidence in God. This passage can move us from trying to reject our trials to rejoicing in them. I am eager for us to be strengthened and encouraged by feeding on God’s word.

Seeing the goodness and grace of God is a balm for our soul. In Psalm 16, David's joy in God lifts his eyes to see his true treasure and steadfast refuge throughout his life. And as we too take refuge in the Lord, we find he is our greatest good and highest pleasure.

Trouble has a way of showing up when we least expect it. In Psalm 27, David shows us where to turn when fear, pressure, and uncertainty close in. He teaches us that our greatest need in trouble is not simply relief, but to seek the Lord himself and find in him what we need most.

This Sunday we will be joined by our friend Steve Whitcare. Steve is a pastor at Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville and attended our Youth Camp this past week.

There is more happening in this world than our eyes can see. In Revelation 12:1–6, John pulls back the curtain to reveal a great red dragon bent on destroying God's promised Messiah. But what looks like the dragon's greatest opportunity becomes the triumph of God's unstoppable King.

The kingdoms of this world seem powerful, but they will not have the final word. In Revelation 11:15–19, John hears heaven erupt in praise as the seventh trumpet announces the certain triumph of Christ's kingdom over every rival. This passage lifts our eyes above the turmoil of history to the day when every enemy will fall, every promise will be fulfilled, and the Lord Jesus Christ will reign forever and ever.

Every generation has assumed the church's best days are behind her. But Revelation 11:1-14 pulls back the curtain to show what is really happening: Christ is preserving his people, empowering their witness, and ensuring that his church will never ultimately be overcome.

Do you wonder if God is there in a hectic and chaotic world? Do you wonder how Christians are to live in the face of persecution? Revelation 10 is an interlude in the midst of judgments on the earth meant to fortify the saints for the road they are on.

This Sunday we will be joined by our friend Doug Hayes. Doug is a pastor at Covenant Fellowship Church in Glen Mills, PA, and he will preach and give an update on the ministry he leads, Covenant Mercies.
