The story of the world doesn’t end when Jesus returns, it’s just getting started. There will more to do, more to build, more to create, more to write, more to live for. In our last teaching in Revelation, we uncover the reality of heaven and eternity and how God is inviting us to partner in building this garden city.

As we approach the last loop of the book of Revelation we find what is known as Judgement Day. Most people sense a tension in their hearts as they think about how evil will ultimately be dealt with. We want evil to be eradicated but we get nervous about what that means for humanity. In week 11 of our Revelation series, we talk about how good God is and why we can trust Him in dealing with evil in the world and our heart both today and for eternity.

Revelation is one of the most misunderstood and even worse, one of the most misused books in the bible. In this week's Revelation teaching we look at how this poetic and creative book about the church, about politics and about trusting Jesus can help shape our vision as a church not just for the future but as a church and a people for the present.

Throughout Revelation, we often see the struggle between God and evil on display. The promise of the whole book is that ultimately God will be victorious through the work of Jesus but this book is about more than that. The real point of the book is to challenge those who say they believe to stay faithful when faced with the temptation to compromise and go along when enticed by evil. In this week’s sermon, we tackle the question of how you can tell the difference when faced with the “blind taste test” and what tangible steps we can take in our everyday life to follow John’s warning and stay faithful to Jesus?

In our series on Revelation, we've been exploring the cycles from worship to disruption. Revelation 12-13 is full of disruption. Matt Buehrle explores in this sermon how a jolting sermon can help us wake up to the grace of God in Jesus.

As we read through the different cycles of Revelation we have the opportunity to see what God is really like. What appears to be God’s horrific judgment at first glance actually shows us God’s divine mercy. In an amazing turn of events we read an account of “the end” and what we find is multiple opportunities to repent and experience the salvation of God through Jesus.

If you’ve ever thought Revelation revealed one more picture of some angry God waiting to judge and condemn listen to this look at Revelation 8-11 and see who God really is and who you could be if you really knew him.

The book Revelation is not about terrifying us about the future. It's about disrupting the status quo and calling you to worship and faithfulness to Jesus. In this week's teaching, we look at Revelation 6 and 7 and how it challenges us to consider where are we going to seek peace and security. Do we go to the ways of the world or do we go to the slain lamb?

There is so much benefit to knowing and following Jesus but what we are experiencing now is only part of what has been promised to those of us who faithfully await eternal life with Him. In our final look at the Letters of Revelation, we’ll see how Jesus reminds each church of these promises and how these promises can motivate us in our faithful connection to Jesus.

Each church Jesus writes to has some area that they need to pay close attention to because they are in danger of falling away from a relationship with Jesus. Sometimes it’s because of pressure that’s coming against them, others are dealing with false teachings that have invaded their body and some are becoming comfortable and complacent. Jesus has strong words of warnings for these churches because he loves them and he’s concerned about their future. In week 2 of our Letters series, we’ll look at what kind of warnings Jesus gives to these early churches and work through what kind of warnings he might give to us.
