Andy Lovelace finishes our series on the Book of Revelation as we look at what it looks like when God is reigning on the earth. From His throne flows a river that brings restoration and healing for all peoples who have their names written in the Lamb's book of life.

Derek Lofing and Ethan Lovelace team up to share insights about Revelation chapter 12 where we discover how we can be overcomers through Jesus Christ.

Revelation chapter 7 gives us a picture of what it looks like when all those who have declared Jesus Christ as Lord are gathered around the throne. Pastor Andy invites us to see what it will look like when every believer is finally around the throne.

In Revelation chapters 4 and 5 we are invited into a moment unlike any other. John looks and sees the throne room in heaven. As he looks around he hears the sound of the Lion from the Tribe of Judah, but when he turns he sees a slain lamb. Derek Lofing shares with us this image as he teaches what it means to worship the God upon the throne.

In Jeremiah chapter 29 we are reminded that captivity isn't a place to diminish and disappear. Instead, like Israel, we can flourish in the midst of difficult times and become a blessing while in a strange land, knowing that our deliverance is coming in Jesus Christ.

The letters to the seven churches that are in Revelation chapters 2 & 3 have real application to the audiences they were written to. Similarly, as we read them in our current setting, we don’t have to try and imagine how they might apply to us as well because the same types of issues are faced in churches all over the world, even in this modern era.

John receives a vision of Jesus that leaves him 'as though dead', but Jesus doesn't leave John in fear; rather, he encourages him.

The Book of Revelation is one that draws extremely diverse responses from people. On one side, you have people who use it as a book of codes to decipher and unlock future events. On the other side, you have people who avoid it altogether because the visions and writings seem too weird. In truth, Revelation is a book that asks you who you will worship. Will you worship the spirit of this age or will you worship the Eternal One?

One of the strongest influences upon the church has been the entertainment environment and adoption of some practices within the church. This shift has caused some people to view their role as attendee instead of minister. Pastor Andy takes time in this message to reinforce the Biblical idea that all Christians are called to do ministry together.
