Part 2: Seven Churches, One Theme
As John is told to write to seven churches in Asia Minor, they are each given a specific message, but one theme is found in all. Revelation Chs. 2-3
Part 1: Island Exile
John, the author of Revelation has been exiled to the island of Patmos. What starts as a prison sentence, turns into a vision for the ages. Revelation 1
Introduction to Revelation
Revelation is one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible, yet properly understood, gives us a rich theological tapestry. In this message, we present an introduction in preparation for our 10-part series of the book.
Part 4: The Advent of Love
Mary, a young teenager, when confronted by the revelation that she will bear the Messiah, responds with a message of love. Luke 1:46-55
Part 3: The Advent of Joy
What do heavenly beings and lowly shepherds have in common? Luke 2:8-11
Part 2: The Advent of Peace
Simeon, a man who waited eagerly for the coming of the Messiah, talked of the peace he experienced when he met the baby Jesus. Luke 2:25-32
The Advent of Hope
The prophetic voice of Zechariah was centered on the promise of hope.
The Rejected for the Rejected
When we see Jesus as one of us, as belonging to us, as being for us, it’s easy to love him. But what if Jesus also belongs to the outsider? Luke 4:14-30
Part 4: Come Together
The church serves as a collective demonstration of the reality of Jesus, his life, his message, and his sacrifice for our sins. John 17:22-24; Philippians 2:14-15; 1 Peter 2:12
Part 3: Safe
Are we safe to be around, or do people see us as judgmental, hypocritical, or jest plain weird? How can anyone see Jesus in us if we aren’t safe enough to be around? 1 Peter 3:13-17
Part 2: Break My Heart
What breaks your heart? Often, the thing that breaks our heart is often where we place our energy and resources, and where we make the biggest difference. Matthew 9:35-38
Part 1: Real to Me
I will never be able to make Jesus real for anyone else unless he becomes real to me. Are there ways of creating a more authentic relationship with Jesus so that others can more easily see Jesus in me. Matthew 6:31-33
