As we reach the conclusion of Revelation, we see one final revelation of Jesus: the Calling Christ. In Revelation 21–22, John describes the new heaven and new earth, where God will dwell with His people and death, grief, crying, and pain will be no more. It is a picture of the hope God offers—and an invitation that still stands today.

Jesus extends the invitation one last time: “Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let the one who desires take the water of life freely” (Revelation 22:17). The invitation is for whoever hears, whoever is thirsty, and whoever desires to come to Him.

The message is clear: Only Jesus satisfies completely! Whether you have never come to Christ or have followed Him for years, His invitation remains: Come and drink freely from the water of life.

In this installment of Jesus Revealed in Revelation, we explore Jesus as the Coming Christ and what Scripture reveals about His return. Looking at Revelation 19–20 alongside Jesus’ own words and the teachings of the apostles, Pastor Hunter Ramsey examines the return of Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, His victory over the enemies of God, and the sobering reality of the Great White Throne Judgment. While the return of Jesus is a source of hope for believers, it also raises an important question for everyone: if you stood before Christ today, how would you answer to Him? This message challenges us to look beyond the events of the end times and consider our own response to the Coming Christ.

In the next message of Jesus Revealed in Revelation, we discover Jesus as the Conquering Christ. Through Revelation 4–16, Pastor Derek Anglin explores the heavenly scene where Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Lamb who was slain, alone is worthy to take the sealed scroll and set the end-time events in motion. As heaven erupts in worship and the seals are opened, we are reminded that Jesus remains in complete control, even as the world faces judgment and turmoil. Though the precise nature and order of end-time events are debated, the central truth is clear: the One who holds the future of the world also holds our lives. Jesus is in complete control!

In the opening message of Jesus Revealed in Revelation, we look beyond the book’s familiar end-times themes to discover its central focus: the glorified Jesus Christ. Through John’s encounter in Revelation 1, we see Jesus revealed in His holiness, authority, eternal power, and glory as the First and the Last, the Living One who holds the keys of death and Hades. Overwhelmed by His presence, John falls at His feet in worship, only to be met with the reassuring words, “Don't be afraid.” This message challenges us to see Jesus for who He truly is and respond with worship, surrender, and salvation. We will all bow before Him—the question is whether we bow now or later.

In the final message of A United Front, Pastor Hunter Ramsey explores the power of being in “one accord” through the story of the early Church in Acts. When believers came together with one heart, mind, and purpose, it resulted in a move of God, multiplication, holy momentum, and a movement throughout their community. Pastor Hunter then connects that biblical picture of united generosity to what God has been doing at NewGrace through the Believe Campaign, sharing how people coming together have created room for ministry, families, groups, and future growth. The message reminds us that unity is more than simply being in the same place—it is believing, giving, serving, and moving forward together. God breathes upon a united front.

In the second message of A United Front, Pastor Hunter Ramsey addresses one of the enemy’s most effective attacks against the Church: division. Looking at Ephesians 4:1–3, we’re challenged to walk with humility, gentleness, patience, and love while making every effort to guard the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Division can enter through small cracks created by anger, offense, dishonesty, or unresolved conflict, but the Holy Spirit helps us shut those doors, search our hearts, and pursue unity with one another. Peace is possible when we choose to protect what God is building rather than give the enemy an opportunity to divide it.

In the first message of this series, A United Front, we look at Jesus’ prayer for His followers in John 17 and discover just how important unity is to Him. On the eve of His crucifixion, Jesus prayed not only for His disciples but for every person who would believe in Him through their message—including us.

Jesus prayed that His followers would be one, reflecting the unity He shares with the Father. This unity is more than simply being together; it is something that develops and is perfected over time as believers grow together in Christ.

But Jesus also reveals the purpose behind our unity: “that the world may believe you sent me.” Our unity is meant to be a witness to the world of who Jesus is and the love God has for His people.

This message challenges us to understand that unity isn't optional for the Church. Jesus wanted His people to become completely one—to operate together as a united front so that the world could see the reality of the Gospel.

In Fans vs. Followers, Pastor Hunter Ramsey challenges us to examine the difference between simply being a fan of Jesus and becoming a fully devoted follower. Looking through Acts 2, we see believers whose lives were centered on Christ, His Church, and His calling. They lived with awe of God, devoted themselves to gathering and growing together, and carried their faith into their everyday communities. Pastor Hunter asks us to consider which lens we are looking through and challenges us to move beyond simply admiring Jesus to living as His followers—asking God to take us deeper, build our faith, and give us opportunities to share the Gospel.

In The Danger of Unforgiveness, we examine Jesus’ powerful teaching in Matthew 18:21–35 and confront a question every believer eventually faces: How many times do I have to forgive someone?

When Peter asked Jesus if forgiving someone seven times was enough, Jesus responded with a standard that went far beyond keeping count. Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, we see the incredible contrast between the immeasurable debt God has forgiven us and the debts we often refuse to forgive in others.

This message explores the danger of allowing unforgiveness to take root in our hearts. We are reminded that forgiveness doesn't mean allowing people to continually take advantage of us, but it does mean releasing others from the judgment we were never meant to carry. Because we have received mercy, we are called to give mercy.

The message also challenges believers to stop trying to earn or recreate the forgiveness that Christ has already given. Jesus paid the debt we could never pay, offering us pardon, justification, adoption, and the ongoing work of sanctification.

Unforgiveness can become a prison of our own making, keeping us trapped by the very thing we refuse to release. But when we truly understand the grace and compassion God has shown us, it should transform the way we respond to others.

The question is not simply, “Have I been forgiven?” The question is: Has the forgiveness I've received changed my heart enough to forgive others?

What happens when the Holy Spirit's power comes upon a person's life? In this message, we continue exploring the anointing through the story of Saul in 1 Samuel 10 and discover how God's anointing distinguishes, dedicates, and makes us different.

Saul's experience reveals that the anointing is purposeful, prophetical, powerful, and perceptible. God anointed Saul for a specific purpose, gave him prophetic direction, transformed his heart, and empowered him through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit didn't simply change what was happening around Saul—it changed Saul himself. What God poured into him began to flow through him, even affecting the way he spoke.

The same Holy Spirit is available to God's people today. This message challenges us to pursue the fullness of what God wants to do in our lives, to desire spiritual gifts, and to allow the Spirit to flow through us in ways that impact others. When the Holy Spirit truly moves in a person's life, the change should become evident. People should be able to look at us and say, “Something happened to them!”

Whether you need a first anointing or a fresh anointing, this message is an invitation to ask, seek, and knock—to receive the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the freedom that comes when His anointing makes the difference.
