  • What Heaven Looks Like
    In Revelation 4 we get a sneak preview to what heaven looks like. The Apostle John is taken up to heaven and was told to write down what he sees. God invited him to come to His throne. When John came he was immediately "in the spirit". There is a direct correlation between our pursuit of worshipping God and us experiencing God's presence. The bible tells us that praise is the pathway into God's presence and that "we enter into His courts with thanksgiving and with praise". Revelation 4 shows us that when we see God for who He really is, our only response is worship! Would you consider yourself to be a believer or a worshipper? All worshippers believe but not all believers worship. The Father is looking for worshippers and He is inviting you to come into His presence. Commit to the process and you will be so glad that you did! Listen along and discover more.

  • Praise that Cannot be Silenced
    In this message Pastor Scott unpacks the Power of Palm Sunday where we see Jesus recognized as the Messiah King that He is. The Pharisees tried to silence a praise that could not be stopped. Jesus said that if the people were silent, the rocks would cry out because all history awaited this powerful and -profound moment. But some of those who shouted "Hosanna" may very well have been the ones who shouted "Crucify Him" the next day! People misunderstood that Messiah's purpose was to fix the sin issue, which they couldn't do on their own. Listen along and discover more on how Jesus is worthy of our praise!

  • When Cool is Not Cool
    In this message we look at how the world puts a high value on being cool while God puts a high value on us being "on fire" for him. Jesus baptizes us with the Holy Spirit "and fire". It's not a fire on the outside, it's a spiritual fire on the inside. When a believer puts their focus in trying to be cool in the world's eyes, that makes us half hearted and "lukewarm" in God's eyes. We can't aim to please both at the same time. This message reveals how God calls us back to an undivided heart and to a place where we want to protect our spiritual climate, not letting anything cool us down. Listen along and discover how to be lukewarm no longer! (Revelation 3:14-22)

  • Open Doors
    In this message we explore how God opens doors for us. Jesus holds the keys to all godly doors of opportunity. Like the Church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3, we see that God rewarded them with an open door and He will do the same for us. They lived in a culture where it was challenge to stand for the Word of God and the Name of Jesus, yet they did and were being blessed for it. They were also promised that would be kept from the Great Tribulation which makes a great argument for a pre-tribulation rapture of dedicated Christ Followers. Listen along and discover God's timeline for future events and where you fit in. Also remember that God has placed an open door to heaven before us so live faithfully for His glory!

  • Waking Up to Your Mission
    In this message we look at how God wants to awaken us to our God-given mission. It seems that over time, believers can get spiritually sleepy and Jesus gives us, and the Church of Sardis in Revelation 3, steps to take if we have become spiritually sleepy. It can happen to any of us. It seems to happen when our culture effects us more than we effect our culture. It's so important because we were saved to serve (Eph 2:8-10). Listen along and discover your personal calling to the works and deeds that Jesus made you for. Also discover how to become more spiritually alive if you have somehow become spiritually sleepy. Listen along and discover more!

  • The Consequence of Compromise
    In this message we explore how God sees things in our lives that He commends us for. At the same time, we all may have some areas of compromise that attention. In Revelation 2 we see that the area of correction was based on two main things. The believers were being very passive and putting up with false doctrine. Also, they allowed the culture of their work environment to shape their spiritual life instead of having their spiritual life shaping their work environment. Listen along and discover how to stay strong by discerning God's voice even when there are so many other voices suggesting a different path. Learn how to "test the spirits" and how to shine in your work place!

  • Faithful or Flirting
    In this message Pastor Dan explores the next 2 churches of Revelation where we see the first church is doing so well, they receive no correction, only compliments. It was evident that even through suffering they would not compromise their lifestyle and the priority of Jesus as Lord. On the other hand, the next church was flirting with compromise and needed correction, just as we do when we are living a compromised lifestyle. God disciplines those He loves. Are you open to God's correction? We need to be honest with ourselves and acknowledge that we all veer off at times but never allow sin to become our lifestyle. Learn to receive God's correction and trust that He has our best in mind knowing that He has an amazing future for those who are His! Listen along and discover more!

  • Falling in Love with Jesus
    In this message we look at the first church of revelation and we get to learn a lot about ourselves. The Church of Ephesus was recognized and appreciated for many great things, which shows us that God sees, recognizes and appreciates all we do for His glory. But at the same time, Jesus reminds them they really fell short in a major area....in their love for Jesus! In this passage Jesus calls out to them and says, "please fall back in love with me again"! This was true for that historical church, it is also true of some churches today, and it can also be true of our own individual lives. How in love with Jesus are you? Does your love life with the Lord seem better than before, or less than it was before. Listen along and discover the steps to fall back in love with Jesus all over again!
