Rich or poor, powerful or insignificant, knowledgeable or simple, good or evil. God’s judgment doesn’t discriminate. All will face the deserved judgment for sin and disbelief while on earth and in the days of the tribulation. Yet, as Pastor Mike teaches today, God is a God of abundant mercy. God rejoices and welcomes any who turn to him in faith. He forgives and offers salvation to any who believe in the sacrifice of his son Jesus for them.

People who turn to God in their desperation during the tribulation will experience mercy.

Some people today are obsessed with looking for and determining who the anti-Christ is. But, as Pastor Mike teaches today that though the anti-Christ will have many distinguishable qualities, believers will see Jesus in the rapture before you’ll see the anti-Christ come and rule on earth. He’ll be a peace-loving, charismatic, seemingly true person, but deep down his purpose is to pull people away from God. Ultimately, it’s crucial to keep your eyes on Jesus and expect his return any time!

John is given a vision of the great and glorious picture of believers in the throne room in Heaven. There, all of the redeemed will submit to God and completely yield to his authority. And the redeemed will lay all their riches, rewards, and prizes at his feet. Pastor Mike will challenge you today to evaluate if you live this kind of life now. Do you, on earth, submit to him and give all your resources to him now? Offer all things to him giving glory to his name!

The condition of the earth and mankind isn’t what God intended it to be at creation. Man was given the earth to rule and reign over, but instead, sinned and lost authority. In that moment, the devil gained power and authority on earth. However, as Pastor Mike will explain today, ultimately, Jesus will fully restore and redeem the earth and mankind on it. Satan will be defeated completely and men redeemed by Christ’s blood will rule and reign again with God as Lord.

Every now and then in the Bible, we read about individuals falling down in worship when they see an angel. This of course is quickly met with rebuke from the angels who firmly stand by the conviction that all glory is due to God. Yes, even angels and heavenly beings give glory to God! In today's message, Pastor Mike reflects on the worship of the heavenly host. In his study, you'll learn how even the creatures that we would hold in high regard humble themselves before the throne of God.

In Revelation chapter four, the Apostle John describes a door opening in Heaven. Now, if you're like anyone else who's read the book of Revelation, you're probably at your limit with metaphors or allusions. So what exactly is this door? As Pastor Mike will teach you in his message today, this door is none other than Jesus Christ, who is the only door by which we can enter Heaven. In his study, you'll learn how this imagery ties to the very words of Christ in which He proclaimed that He is the door.

As mankind plummets further into its perpetual rebellion against God, the attacks against truth become all the more common. Unfortunately, many of these attacks have become mostly directed at the Church, which properly headed by Christ, is the final obstacle. In today's message, Pastor Mike reflects on the very nature and character of Christ, the culmination of God's message to mankind. In his study, you'll gain a better understanding of the nature of Christ, the ultimate arbiter of truth.

As believers and followers of Christ, we have the ultimate source of holiness and truth, which of course is none other than Christ Himself. While other religions might look to tradition or philosophy to guide them, we need look no further than our Savior. In today's message, Pastor Mike will draw your attention to the focus on how Christ is presented to the church at Philadelphia. In his study, you'll learn that not only are we called to holiness and truth, but we can look to Jesus as our example.

As stern and seemingly harsh as Jesus' rebuke to Thyatira comes off, He actually gives them quite the admonishment. This admonishment of course is in regards to their love and ability to continually grow and mature in their faith, shortcomings set aside. In today's message, Pastor Mike will encourage you to take a moment and reflect on the state of your walk. In his study, you'll learn the importance of occasionally asking yourself whether or not you're better off than when you started your walk, or falling behind.

Have you ever noticed the dual fulfillment aspect of certain prophecies found within the Bible? Perhaps more notable of these is the stark contrast between key events in history and the state of each church addressed in the seven letters of Jesus. As Pastor Mike will teach you in his message today, it's widely believed, and with good reason, that Thyatira represents the dark ages. In his study, you'll learn how the rise of the Catholic Church and the Papacy are remarkably similar to the church at Thyatira.
