Close your eyes. Picture heaven. If what you see is winged babies with harps on fluffy clouds, come back to the Bible. Our final home won't be off in the clouds. Heaven comes down to a renewed earth. God makes his eternal home with us.

You've heard of the great battle of Armageddon, but have you actually read what the Bible says about it? The armies of the world come together. But there's no war. They're fighting CHRIST. He flattens them with a single word from his mouth. And it's over.

Guest Preacher: Mac Cockrell

In the end what matters is faithfulness to Christ. Faithfulness unto death. So pray as if they're already coming for you. Read the Bible like they're about to tear it out of your hands. You'll never live for Jesus until you realize he's worth dying for.

Revelation begins with 7 report cards given to each of 7 local churches. Each church continues to bear Jesus' light in the world, even the lukewarm one, even the dead one. What kind of report card would Jesus issue to our church?

The final book of the Bible is meant to show you Jesus. If you read Revelation and come away more impressed by the Antichrist than the Christ , you read it wrong. Let's read Revelation together and look for Jesus, starting Sunday!

Guest Preacher: Matthew Betts

Luke 9:23-27

The preacher's gonna talk about money on Sunday. Why? Because money issues are heart issues. It's a rival god. And anything you can't talk about assumes even more controlling power in your life.

No matter how cool you are, your kids are going to think you're weird. Luckily, your job isn't to be the cool dad or the fun mom. Your job is to gradually transfer their dependence away from yourself, so they grow to depend solely upon God.
