In Revelation 15–16, we encounter one of Scripture’s most sobering truths — the wrath of God. Far from being cruel or impulsive, God’s wrath is the necessary expression of His holy love and justice.

Pastor Timothy unpacks the two expressions of wrath — passive and active — and shows how every act of divine judgment flows from a heart of love that refuses to let evil win. Through powerful connections to Romans, Exodus, and the cross, we see that Jesus drank the cup of wrath so we could drink the cup of salvation.

📖 Key Themes:

• The Wrath of God: Already and Not Yet
• Passive vs. Active Wrath
• Why Love Necessitates Wrath
• The “Two Cups”: Wrath or Salvation
• “It Is Finished” vs. “It Is Done” — Two Moments of Divine Justice

🙌 Reflect on what it means to live awake, repentant, and ready — before the day when repentance is replaced by reckoning.

In Revelation 14, we are called to “Follow the Lamb wherever He goes.” This powerful passage contrasts the way of the Lamb with the way of the beast — two marks, two allegiances, two destinies.

Pastor Timothy unpacks what it means to live as those who bear the name of the Father, not the mark of the world. Belief becomes allegiance, and worship becomes witness as we learn to follow Jesus with endurance and purity in a world that pressures us to conform.

📖 Key Themes:

• The Mark of the Beast vs. the Seal of the Lamb
• Allegiance: Belief that Becomes Obedience
• Endurance and Faith of the Saints
• The Eternal Gospel and the Call to Worship
• The Harvest: Salvation or Judgment

🙌 Discover the hope and courage that come from following the Lamb — the One who conquered through sacrifice and reigns through love.

Title: Revelation 13 — The Dragon, the Beast, and the Call to Endure

Description:
Revelation 13 pulls back the curtain on spiritual warfare. John shows us the dragon (Satan) and his helpers—the beast of persecution, the false prophet of deception, and Babylon’s seduction. These powers demand worship, but the church is called to endure in faith and worship the Lamb.

In this sermon, Pastor Timothy unpacks the mark of the beast, Nero and Rome as historical types, and how these symbols continue in modern forms of power, false religion, and cultural idolatry. More importantly, we see how believers overcome: by the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and not loving life even unto death.

This is not a puzzle for tomorrow—it’s a word for today. Stand firm, stay faithful, and live marked by Christ.
