At the time the New Testament was being written, some believed there was no resurrection, and this teaching was taking root in some of the minds of those in the early church. The Apostle Paul addressed this head-on near the end of his letter to the church in Corinth, and in so doing, teaches us important truths, so important that your life and eternity depend upon them.

In Revelation 13, the dragon, Satan, escalates his war against the followers of Christ by summoning two powerful beasts, one rising from the sea, the other from the earth. These beasts are agents of deception and domination, seeking to draw the world into false worship and to persecute all who remain loyal to the Lamb. In the face of such opposition, God’s people are called to patient endurance, faithful resistance, and spiritual wisdom. This passage challenges us to recognize the battle behind the scenes and to stand firm in our allegiance to Christ.

Through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, God’s people overcome. Even as the dragon wages war, we are not abandoned—God protects, sustains, and strengthens us to stand firm.

In Revelation 11:15-19, we witness a moment of triumph and finality as the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. The seventh trumpet sounds and heaven erupts in worship, declaring the eternal reign of Jesus. This passage reminds us that no matter how chaotic the world seems, God's plan is unfolding toward His ultimate victoIn this message, we will explore the significance of the full arrival of God's kingdom, the response of worship in heaven, and the sobering reality of judgment and reward. As we await Christ’s return, how should we live in light of this certainty? This passage calls us to faithfulness, worship, and hopeful anticipation of the day when Christ will reign forever and ever.

Before the seventh trumpet sounds, a mighty angel descends with a little scroll, proclaiming, “There will be no more delay!” John is then commanded to eat the scroll, which tastes sweet but turns his stomach sour, signifying that God’s Word brings comfort, conviction, joy, and judgment. Revelation 10 invites us to humbly trust God’s sovereign timing, boldly share His truth, and patiently await the fulfillment of His perfect plan.

Revelation 9 presents a terrifying vision of judgment as demonic forces are unleashed upon the earth, bringing torment and destruction. Yet, despite overwhelming suffering, many refuse to repent, clinging to their idolatry and sin. This passage reveals that judgment alone does not soften hardened hearts; it also serves as a wake-up call—a final plea for repentance before the ultimate end. It urges us to examine our own hearts and turn to Christ while there is still time. Rather than resisting God’s warnings, we must respond in faith, living as those sealed by His grace.

Have you ever felt the weighty hush that precedes something monumental? In Revelation 8, the Lamb opens the seventh seal, and for a moment, heaven itself stands still. Then, like thunder following a storm’s calm, angels sound their trumpets, unleashing judgments that shake the earth, sea, and sky. Yet, even amid these awe-inspiring events, the prayers of God’s people ascend like incense before His throne—a powerful reminder that no cry goes unheard. Join us this week as we explore the sacred silence that reveals God’s holiness, justice, and the sustaining hope we find in His mercy.

Revelation 6 as the Lamb opens the seals and brings forth a series of cataclysmic events. The four horsemen—conquest, war, famine, and death—serve as sobering reminders of our world’s brokenness and the harsh reality of judgment. We’ll hear the desperate cries of martyrs, the cosmic upheaval shaking the heavens, and humanity trembling before the Lamb’s wrath. Yet amidst all this intensity, we uncover a powerful truth: Jesus, the Lamb, is firmly in control. Although the imagery is unsettling, it directs us toward the ultimate hope of God’s righteousness prevailing.
