In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the focus is on Revelation 8 and the significance of prayer in God’s unfolding plan. Chris traces the journey through Revelation, describing the scroll with seven seals as a symbol of God’s final will for the earth, and noting the escalating judgments released as each seal is opened. When the seventh seal is opened, there is a profound silence in heaven, highlighting the gravity of what is about to occur God’s final wave of judgment.

Chris draws attention to the imagery of incense, representing the prayers of the saints, rising before God in heaven. He explains that, biblically, “saints” means all believers set apart by Christ, not just especially virtuous people. These prayers, he assures, are cherished by God and have power in His purposes, even if not always answered in ways or timing we expect.

Encouraging the church, Chris emphasizes that prayer matters our prayers ascend to God like fragrant incense, and God desires to work through them. He challenges the congregation to deepen their prayer lives, referencing Andrew Murray on the importance of “believing and unceasing prayer” as essential to experiencing God’s blessing.

Chris concludes with a practical invitation to prayer, teaching a PRAY (Praise, Repent, Ask, Yield) model and urging everyone to approach God in prayer, confident that their prayers make a difference and participate in God’s plans.

In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the central focus is on the biblical promise that God will one day wipe away every tear from our eyes. Chris uses the song “Tears in Heaven” as an entry point to discuss humanity’s deep longing for comfort and a world free from pain. Drawing from passages in Revelation and Isaiah, he underscores the repeated assurance that in heaven, there will be no more suffering, loss, or crying.

Chris reflects on how tears are a natural part of our earthly experience, tied to both joy and sorrow, and even notes that Jesus himself wept. He reassures listeners that feelings of grief, pain, injustice, and regret are temporary for believers, and that in heaven, these kinds of tears will be forever erased—replaced by perfect healing and joy in God’s presence.

The sermon addresses difficult questions, such as concern for loved ones who may not join us in heaven, and assures that God’s goodness will ultimately bring peace even in those memories. Romig encourages his audience to hold firmly to the hope of heaven, allowing it to sustain them through current hardships and motivate them to share this hope with others. He closes with a heartfelt prayer, asking God to comfort those in pain and to fill them with assurance of the joy that awaits in God’s eternal kingdom.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Romig centers on the powerful vision in Revelation 7, where a countless, multicultural multitude stands before God's throne. He highlights the wideness of God's mercy and the total absence of racism or ethnic superiority in God's kingdom. This heavenly gathering, composed of those who have come out of the Great Tribulation, is described as joyfully serving God, free from suffering, hunger, or toil.

Romig clarifies that the promises of continuous worship and presence in God's "temple" are symbolic, representing unbroken fellowship with God Himself. The focus shifts to the core of Christian hope: the multitude is in heaven not because of their works or effort, but because they have been washed clean by the blood of Christ salvation is entirely by grace.

He urges listeners to examine the foundation of their faith, challenging them to answer the question of why God should allow them into heaven. The only true response, he says, is “Jesus died for me.” The sermon concludes by encouraging believers to receive God's love and grace, especially through communion, and to find hope in the assurance of Christ's love and the promise of eternal joy in God's presence.

In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the focus is on Revelation 7 and the identity of the 144,000 mentioned in that chapter. Romig begins with recapping the dramatic events of Revelation 6 describing God’s judgment and the intense suffering during the end times before moving to the hopeful pause in chapter 7, where 144,000 servants are “sealed” by God.

Chris explains that this seal is a spiritual sign of ownership, protection, and purpose, echoing patterns from the Old Testament where God preserves His faithful people during judgment. Addressing various interpretations, Romig rejects the idea promoted by Jehovah’s Witnesses that only 144,000 will be saved, as well as the symbolic view that the number represents all believers. Instead, based on the text, he identifies them as Jewish believers from each of the twelve tribes of Israel, chosen and protected by God during the Great Tribulation.

The sermon highlights that God’s covenant with Israel remains unbroken, as echoed in Romans 11, and that the 144,000 reflect God's specific promises to the Jewish people. For the broader church, Romig encourages Christians to rejoice in the assurance that, like the 144,000, all believers are sealed by God through the Holy Spirit, marked as His own and empowered for faithful living and witness. The message concludes with a prayer for believers to display this seal in their lives, resting in God’s hope and assurance.

In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the focus is on the events described in Revelation 6 and what the Bible teaches about end times and God’s final judgment. Romig explains that while many Christians assume heaven is their eternal home, Scripture actually points to believers returning with Jesus to a restored earth. Until that final day, natural disasters serve as reminders and previews of the coming judgment during the Great Tribulation.

Romig unpacks the dramatic imagery in Revelation; earthquakes, darkened skies, falling stars. He argues these can happen literally, drawing on both biblical examples and scientific explanation. He cautions against dismissing these as merely symbolic, emphasizing instead that such prophecies appear throughout Scripture and were spoken of by prophets and Jesus Himself.

He addresses how, during the Tribulation, people will respond with terror but refuse to repent, turning instead to false hopes like “Mother Nature” rather than the Creator. Despite widespread fear, Romig encourages believers not to question their security in Christ. Sharing a pastoral message from John MacArthur, he reminds listeners that genuine assurance comes not from perfect obedience, but from a sincere desire to know and love God.

Chris concludes by inviting anyone feeling a genuine desire for Christ to receive Him without delay, assuring all who hope in Jesus that they will stand secure, even amid judgment, because of God’s unfailing love and grace.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Romig explores the theme of hope and faith in the midst of suffering and persecution, using both the story behind the hymn "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" and the passage from Revelation 6. Romig begins by recounting how the hymn was inspired by the deep faith of a suffering couple, reminding us that God cares for even the smallest sparrow and, even more so, for His children. He connects this message to Jesus’ words in Matthew 10, emphasizing God’s intimate knowledge of our lives and His care for us during difficult times.

Chris then delves into Revelation 6, where the souls of martyrs cry out to God for justice during the Great Tribulation. Although God’s response is a call to patience and trust in His timing, it is also a reassurance of security and righteousness for those who suffer for their faith, symbolized by the gift of white robes.

Applying this to the present day, Chris highlights the reality of Christian persecution globally and urges believers to consider their own faith and courage in standing for Christ. He calls for prayer and support for persecuted Christians and reminds his audience that God remains sovereign, just, and compassionate. Ultimately, Chris encourages Christians to find strength in the knowledge that God’s love is steadfast and that the faithful will one day be vindicated and welcomed into His eternal kingdom.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Romig explores the meaning of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from Revelation 6, highlighting that these prophetic figures are not merely legends but real agents of God's judgment to come. Each horseman represents a different aspect of the turmoil that will mark the end times: the white horse symbolizes the rise of the Antichrist with deceptive promises of peace; the red horse stands for widespread violence and conflict; the black horse brings economic hardship and scarcity; and the pale (or green) horse, ridden by Death and Hades, signals mass destruction through war, famine, disease, and wild beasts.

Romig emphasizes that all of these judgments occur fully under God's authority, with Jesus—the Lamb of God—breaking each seal. He draws connections to Old Testament prophecies that foretold similar judgments as consequences for turning away from God. Although these descriptions are sobering, Romig reassures believers that God’s justice is inseparable from His love, and that the destruction of evil is necessary for true restoration. The message concludes with hope: those who trust in Christ are promised ultimate safety and abundant life, and are urged to share this hope with others, even as the world faces troubling times.

In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the focus is on Revelation 6 and the opening of the first of seven seals, introducing the rider on the white horse. Chris explains the significance of the sealed scroll and emphasizes that only Jesus, the Lamb of God, has the authority to begin this end-time unveiling.

He explores different interpretations of the rider’s identity: some suggest the spread of the gospel or even Jesus himself, but Chris argues these don’t fit the context or details. Instead, he suggests the rider is best understood as the Antichrist, a figure who will appear to bring peace but ultimately unleashes chaos, war, and destruction as described by the following horsemen. Drawing from related prophecies in Daniel and 2 Thessalonians, Chris explains the Antichrist’s deceptive rise and the importance of spiritual discernment.

Chris cautions against guessing which current leader might be the Antichrist, reminding believers that their focus should be on Jesus, not on fear or speculation. He reassures the congregation that Christians, empowered by the Holy Spirit, play a restraining role against evil and many believe they will be taken to be with Christ before the worst comes.

The sermon concludes by urging listeners to place their hope not in earthly leaders or “knights on white horses,” but in Jesus Christ the true and victorious rider who alone brings hope, justice, and peace.

In this sermon by Pastor Carolyn Wilson, the focus is on the urgent call for Christians to share their faith in a troubled world. Using the parable of the lost sheep from Luke 15:1-7, Carolyn highlights God’s deep love for those who are spiritually lost and emphasizes that every believer is called to reach out with compassion and courage.

She underscores four core truths: sin and its consequences, the reality of hell, God’s desire for all to be saved, and the gospel as the means of rescue. Carolyn warns against complacency, urging listeners to recognize both the seriousness of spiritual lostness and the increasing signs of societal decline, church apostasy, and global instability as a wake-up call for intentional Christian living.

The sermon encourages believers to rekindle their passion for evangelism and to be bold in proclaiming the gospel, living out their faith authentically in every context. Carolyn affirms that this mission is not limited by age or circumstances—everyone has a role. She urges the congregation to move from apathy to action, becoming people who don’t just attend church, but who embody the living, missional church that shares the Father's love in both word and deed.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Romig addresses the urgency of our times by exploring biblical prophecy, focusing on Daniel chapter 9. He traces how Daniel’s “seventy sevens” prophecy was accurately fulfilled up to the coming of Jesus, but emphasizes that the final seven years remain as a future event, commonly identified as the Great Tribulation.

Pastor Chris highlights that while some believe this prophecy was fulfilled in ancient times, both the biblical timeline and Jesus’ teaching suggest otherwise—a future period involving Israel, a rebuilt temple, and a deceptive world leader is still to come. He connects these ancient prophecies to current events in the Middle East, reassuring listeners that God is in control.

The message ends with an invitation to faith, reminding believers that those who trust in Christ can rest in God’s promises and need not fear the future, because they are secure in the hands of a loving Father.
