Can others really come to know Jesus as Savior and King by simply watching what we do? Paul has a word to say that can speak to this assumption. We will see why this is indeed a darndest saying.
We are here to love God and our neighbors by making disciples for King Jesus who make disciples for King Jesus

In Acts 2 we have an historical account of the life of an early Christian church. Peter has just preached a wonderful come-to-Jesus sermon and scores of people have trusted Him as Savior and King. What is said next in verses 41-47 helps us see the folly in declaring “I’m a Christian, but I don’t need to go to church.”
When we were last in Revelation 12 a few weeks ago, I mentioned that the content of this chapter reads like an epic drama. And it is. But that doesn’t mean its fiction. In fact, its metaphor meant to relay truth about a real “dragon” that tries to devour a real baby boy but fails! In the wake of that failure, the dragon goes to war against those allied to the child. It is these allies (us) that this sermon will address. What is our role really in this epic drama. We probably think we know, and we probably are right to a point. But this chapter brings to light some details we may not have considered regarding our role in God’s great drama.
King Jesus really did rise from the grave! We know that. We believe that. But we, by God’s sweet providence, have been given proof to support that belief. Our belief is never baseless. Nor is it devoid of fact and simply rooted in feelings. His resurrection is real! We know that in part because it’s…
In Part 1 of this 2-part sermon will explore some of the “background” on the identity of main characters in this story (the Dragon, the Child, and the Woman) and how this story unfolds as well as how it even incorporates us!
In these closing verses of Revelation 11 we encounter what really seems to be a heavenly hymn. If such a thing strikes us as out of sorts in the midst of God’s wrath being poured out, then that may very well be the point. Should our focus be on the wrath or on Him? I believe it should be on Him, and it seems John agrees.
In this Sermon we will take a deep dive into the identity of the famous “two witnesses” of Revelation 11 and expound on who and/or what these two witnesses represent.
This week we explore some questions related to the identity and purpose of the “little book”. What is this little book exactly, why did God feed it to him, and how is this even relevant for us today? John must “eat Revelation” in order to really digest what is contained within it. Then and only then can he take it and share it with others. The same holds true for us today. We must devour this book, all of it!
We see in this text that God’s wrath is sure and severe, but sometimes we often miss some details about His judgments that this Sermon will reveal today.
In this Sermon we will look at some new insight regarding how we are to conceive of and think about heaven. So much of the heavenly happenings thus far in the book of Revelation includes resounding praise and worship, but here we are introduced to some new elements and will focus on how we might learn from them.
