A lot of people like Jesus. Many think He’s amazing, desirable, even needed. But they have not made Him their own.

And that is the difference between life and death, between heaven and hell.

Souls are changed for eternity when eyes are opened to the truth in Christ, and find Him all their hearts have longed for.

The gospel of Jesus is not something to admire from a distance. Make it your own, today!

FACT: Overconfidence will take you down.

Not because you’re weak, but because pride makes you think you’re stronger than you are.

Confidence in the Lord = good! Confidence in yourself = bad. Overconfidence = VERY bad.

When you don’t see yourself clearly, you’ll stop reflecting honestly. And the consequences can be eternal.

Let’s open the mirror of God’s Word to Revelation 13…

Life is full of conflict. We fight over words, opinions, preferences, schedules, traffic, sports – countless matters that demand our energy. But the danger is not in losing some of those battles.

The danger is in winning many of them, yet still losing the only battle that decides everything. This teaching in Revelation 12 will bring clarity to the real conflict (and why ignoring it is not an option).

“It’s not gonna happen.” A frequent declaration in situations that feel final, from those who mean well…But what if the one saying it is God? God IS in control, and there are some things He simply will not let happen.Rest assured, history is not drifting and evil is NOT winning!

Open your Bible to Revelation 11 and strengthen your faith in our Savior, who is active, purposeful, sovereign and will not be thwarted.

What do you do when you can’t get traction? When the wood is wet and the spark won’t catch? Sometimes the wisest action isn’t to push harder, drive longer, or force progress. But rather, to pull over. If you’re exhausted, worn out, overdone, get off to the side. Get alone with God… It’s time to pull over.

Did you know there is one sin God will not forgive?

Not murder. Not perversion. Not even the worst acts of violence. Jesus pointed to something far more dangerous.

Revelation 9 contains a message of unsettling yet critical truth. Watch this teaching – and learn what to do, while you can still hear His voice.

In our study of Revelation, did you noticed we skipped chapter five? That’s because Revelation 5 is a Christmas message hiding in plain sight.

This weekend, or sometime in the week ahead, quiet the noise of the season, make the time to take in this teaching, center your gaze on the Lamb who is worthy.

Get ready for Heaven’s worship. Real joy. The reason Christmas matters at all… because, if you misunderstand Christmas, you’ll miss the heart of it.

The wrath of God is not as a threat, but a reality Scripture refuses to ignore. And surprisingly, that’s where the good news sharpens. The promise is clear: those who turn from sin and embrace Christ by faith will be delivered from the wrath to come.

Delivered from what, exactly? Before Christmas teaching begins next week, this message reframes the season entirely. The first coming of Jesus only makes sense when you understand what He came to rescue us from — and what is still ahead. If you’ve ever wondered why grace is so costly, or why the gospel is more than comfort, this teaching will stretch you in the best way.

Watch the full teaching and open Revelation 8 for yourself
