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
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
Part 6: Acceptance
One of the biggest personal challenges we face is the ability to fully embrace God’s love and acceptance. John 1:6-14
Part 5: Looking In, Looking Out
Our pursuit of self-awareness, if done with the right intent, will dramatically frame the way we serve others. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6; Galatians 5:13-15; 1 Peter 4:10-11
Part 4: Who’s in the Driver’s Seat?
Am I just a product of my own desires or am I guided by something greater outside myself? Luke 6:39-45; John 15:1-4; 2 Peter 2:19
Part 3: My Authentic Self
The cultural message of today is to be your authentic self. Whatever you feel inside is essentially who you really are. Romans 7:13-25; Galatians 5:24-26; Ephesians 4:23-24
