Gloating Heathen Celebration (Revelation 11:1–14). Do realize God takes worship attendance? God protects your worship life, but the external is open to spiritual attack. The word is a fire that demolishes our enemies. People of this world celebrate the silencing of God’s witnesses.

(Revelation 10:1–11) Does the people we know need to hear our witness? Is God’s word timid? We should distinguish between the Law and Gospel. Are you consuming the Word of God on a daily basis? Will you accept the bitter of the Word, trusting that God will use it to produce fruit in your life?

Toxic Volcanic Plague (Revelation 9:13–21). The annihilation of humanity is a mundane, daily affair of human willfulness. Even toxic volcanic breath does not cause the inhabitants of this world to repent of murders, sorcery, sexual immorality and thievery. Rather these values are worshipped.

Abyss Spewed Locusts (Revelation 8:13–9:12). The inhabitants of the world are warned that God’s real judgment is coming. A rebellious angel opens up the reservoir of evil that gets realized in human faces. God lets the wicked have their way and reap their whirlwind.

Earth Shaking Prayers (Revelation 8:1–12).  Breaking the seventh seal unleashes deafening silence in heaven so the prayers of God’s people can rise up. God’s people beg for how long before God overturns the world’s wickedness. Do we pray as though our prayer gets God’s attention?

Who Can Withstand? (Revelation 7:9-17) People of every tribe, tongue and nation stand before God. They stand outside the wrath of God because they have been cleansed by the sacrifice of Christ the Lamb. There is cross denying no escape hatch rapture in Revelation.

Bearing Baptismal Seal (Revelation 7:1–8). Our patient God will not allow any who he has called to be harmed.  God cares about everyone of his people and seals on their foreheads with the mark of the cross.  Do you bear the mark of Jesus in the way you live your life?

Heaven Calls Come (Revelation 6:1–17). The slaughtered Lamb releases the will of God upon the earth. Heaven calls for the full consequences of the world’s sin to come riding out. The people of the world would rather the mountains fall on them than to repent to Christ.

Worshipping The Worthy Lamb (Revelation 5:1–14) Who can make this broken world right? Only the slaughtered Lamb of God can fulfill God’s will. He alone breaks open God’s Word. Do you worship like you are excited about what God has done?

Throne Room Sneak Peak (Revelation 4:1–11). In the midst of all the world’s chaos, we can be assured God reigns. At his center is his mercy and his passion. Every Sunday you invited to enter the throne room, do you worship God and place him on the throne of your life?
