Grace Church Waco Sermons

Revelation 15-16 //  Why is it so hard to talk about God's wrath? In this text, we find why understanding his wrath against sin and evil is not only essential to understanding God's nature, but also can become good news.

Revelation 14 //  The way to identify a counterfeit is not to study thousands of counterfeits. The way to identify the counterfeit is to study the real thing. In a world full of false promises—success, comfort, power, endless distraction—how do we know we belong to Jesus? Revelation 14 pulls back the veil to show us the real thing: the Lamb of God who marks His people not with a brand, but with His name.

Revelation 13 // Revelation 13 does not invite us to decipher a timetable of doom. It invites us to see what already is—the contest between the Lamb who reigns through self-giving love and the beasts who rule through domination and deceit.

Revelation 12 // The drama of redemptive history is in full display in this text, as the woman in the wilderness goes up against the danger of the dragon. What we find is a decisive victory for the lamb and the people of God, and an exposure of Satan's futility and foolishness.

Revelation 4 //  The vision of Revelation 4 lifts our eyes to the throne standing at the center of all reality, and to the one seated there reigning in glory and power. The throne of God centers all of our hope and calls forth ceaseless worship. 

Revelation 2-3 // The church is the vessel that will take us to apocalyptic glory, Defined by Christ’s Character, Purified by Christ’s Word; and Sustained by Christ’s Promises.

Revelation 1 // Why read Revelation now? Because we aim to be formed into the image of Jesus Christ the Son. Because a vision, a Revelation, an unveiling, of his glory and work, is exactly what we need. We read Revelation for the sake of courage, to be bold and relentless in the face of evil. We read Revelation to remind ourselves in confidence that in the end, Jesus wins.

3 John // In Christ we who were strangers have been welcomed into the family of God. Hospitality is the truth of gospel made visible, and as those who have been welcomed in it is ours to extend to others that those who are strangers to us now may one day soon be our brothers and sisters.

2 Timothy 2:20-21 // The honor that we show to and receive from each other will be genuine and real when we are committed together to pursue a life of holiness, cleansed by the grace of God in Christ.

Acts 5:1-11 // A healthy church culture starts not with the modeling of behavior but the heart of honesty, ready to give everything to God.
