The meaning and significance of the presence of Jesus in the opening scene of Revelation to the seven churches.

Revelation recalibrates our imaginations with the story of God.

The peace of God is a communal reality experienced in the context of navigating conflict together. Contrary to what we might think or feel, it is as we seek out reconciliation that we experience the peace of God in and among us.

Prayer and anxiety both have to do with where our attention is: anxiety on the unchangeable past or the unknowable future; prayer on the awareness of God's presence in the present.

This teaching was given as part of our annual outdoor service and fifth anniversary celebration Sunday.

God's nearness invites us to bring our anxious hearts and bodies to trust in his love, producing a gentleness in us toward ourselves and others.

Pastor Lon concludes our series on the mission of God in Revelation, showing how the end of all things is a picture of God's heart for reconciliation and justice.

Following Jesus means following the Jesus-like leaders he has placed over us to lead us and guide us.

Pastor Lon continues his series by inviting us to view The Book of Revelation not as a code to be deciphered, but as a revelation of God’s judgment on evil. He elaborates on the idea that Revelation is not solely about future events, but also about how God is actively working in the present. The pastor also highlights the challenge of resisting societal conditioning, a task he presents as crucial for aligning our lives with God’s will.

Pastor Lon begins his 3-part series by opening the book of Revelation and laying a solid foundation for the journey ahead. He takes a realistic perspective on what the word “soon” could mean in reference to the Apocalypse, encouraging listeners to consider the timeless relevance of the text. He outlines that Revelation is much more than a prophecy; it is a blessing of hope and a challenge to live faithfully. This and much more will be explored in this week’s Wingfoot Church sermon. 

Steve walks us through the first twelve verses of James chapter 3 to show how believers are called to use their voices. As the half-brother of Jesus Christ, James had a uniquely personal understanding of our Savior’s will, offering insight that few other biblical authors could. He vividly illustrates the conflicting nature of the tongue using the images of a spring and a fig tree. Steve explains that our ability to speak life or death is a sobering responsibility. He also offers practical guidance for ensuring our words bless both God and our neighbor. Are you speaking from the heart of Christ or from the desires of self?
