This sermon examines two faithful churches from Revelation 2–3 (Smyrna and Philadelphia) to show what it looks like to "follow the lamb" rather than compromise with spiritual opposition. Pastor Mark Deering draws three key lessons: first, we can follow Christ without fear because Jesus has conquered death and offers eternal life—He has the "collateral" to back up His promises since He died and rose again; second, we can live with confidence knowing that while we may face trials, we are spiritually secure for eternity; and third, we can live with anticipation rather than speculation about Christ's return, focusing on faithful witness and readiness rather than trying to decode timelines. The message emphasizes that Jesus uses ordinary believers as witnesses to hold open the door to His kingdom, encouraging listeners to live boldly for Christ knowing He's coming back—not in panic or fear, but with the excited anticipation of someone preparing their home for a loved one's return.

This sermon explores Jesus's messages to the seven churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, emphasizing that these were real churches on a known route in ancient Turkey who received prophetic warnings about compromise and complacency. Rather than getting lost in the specific details of each church's problems, Pastor Mark Deering focuses on the big picture: Jesus is warning all churches against spiritual compromise and lukewarmness while encouraging them to repent and remain faithful. The key insight is that the entire book of Revelation, including all its visions, was written for the benefit and encouragement of the church—not just to tell us how the story ends, but to equip us to live faithfully as "Team Lamb" while navigating the spiritual battles and temptations of "Team Dragon" until Christ's return, with the challenge to "stop flirting with team dragon and follow the lamb."

This sermon explores the climactic battle between "Team Lamb" (followers of Jesus) and "Team Dragon" (Satan's forces) from Revelation 19-20, focusing on the ultimate victory of Christ as the white rider who defeats evil once and for all. Rather than getting caught up in theological debates about the millennium, multiple battles, or the exact nature of hell, Pastor Tommy Hutchison emphasizes that John's main purpose was to pose one crucial question: which team are you on? The message contrasts two very different "feasts"—Team Lamb celebrating victory with God versus Team Dragon being defeated and judged—ultimately calling listeners to examine whether they're following Jesus or being seduced away by the world's false promises, with the assurance that following Christ through life's difficulties is worth it because of the eternal victory that awaits.

In this week's message, Pastor Mark Deering explains how Satan attempts to imitate God by creating false versions of divine authority, worship, and power, positioning himself as a deceptive alternative to Christ. The message warns against the subtle seduction of "Babylon" in modern life, particularly how Christians in religiously free societies may be lulled into complacency and drawn toward worldly values like power, celebrity, youth, beauty, wealth, success, and self-gratification. Rather than focusing on end-times speculation about the mark of the beast (666), the sermon emphasizes that Satan's deception is already present through any government, system, or structure that opposes Christ, and challenges believers to examine whether they are truly living as part of "Team Lamb" (following Jesus) or have been subtly seduced into living according to "Team Dragon's" values.

In this sermon, Pastor Mark Deering teaches on Revelation chapter 12, using a sports analogy to present it as a "scouting report" on Satan (identified as the dragon in the text). Pastor Mark analyzes the chapter through three sections that depict the woman representing God's people, the war in heaven resulting in Satan's expulsion to earth, and Satan's continued attacks on believers. He makes three key points: Satan is a master deceiver who misleads even faithful Christians through misconceptions about his power and nature, Satan has already decisively lost through Christ's cross victory and heavenly defeat, making believers victorious, and Satan actively targets Jesus' followers on earth. He concludes by urging us to recognize where we've been deceived, maintain a victorious rather than fearful posture, and remain aware of spiritual warfare while standing firm through prayer and community.

In this week's message, Pastor Mark Deering focuses on understanding the judgment passages in the book of Revelation, specifically the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls that represent God's confrontation with evil. Pastor Mark explains that these judgments shouldn't be viewed as chronological events but rather as different perspectives on the same period of time, like watching a football play from multiple camera angles. He emphasizes that God is not doing evil but confronting it, and that these symbolic visions would have been understood by first-century readers facing persecution under the Roman Empire. The sermon concludes with three encouraging truths: Jesus is in control (holding the scroll), Christians shouldn't be surprised when evil things happen since Jesus already warned about them, and Jesus has already won the war and written the end of the story

Pastor Jacob Michalski's sermon on chapters 4 and 5 of Revelation focuses on two main themes: "Behold the Almighty God" and "Behold the Victorious Lamb." John witnesses the throne room of heaven where God Almighty sits in majesty, surrounded by 24 elders and four living creatures who worship Him continuously, establishing that God is the center of all worship. When a sealed scroll appears that no one is worthy to open, causing John to weep in despair, Jesus appears as both the "Lion of Judah" and the "slain Lamb" who is worthy to take the scroll because of His sacrificial death and resurrection. The sermon concludes with the encouragement that Jesus, as the victorious lamb, holds the destiny of the world in His hands, offering hope to believers that He is in control regardless of life's struggles and persecution.
