Revelation
If you’ve read the book of Revelation, you may have felt many emotions—confusion, overwhelm, relief, and maybe even joy. Wherever you land, one thing to note is that this book wasn’t written as a puzzle for you to crack the code on Jesus’ return. It was a letter written to challenge and encourage ancient churches, and it’s meant to do the same for the Church today. In this series, we’ll learn how these seemingly strange visions show us how we can stay faithful to Christ and share His love amid persecution and trials we will face as His disciples. Join us as we take a journey to discover how this book points to Jesus’ return as ultimate King!

The Throne Room
by Johnson Bowie
God is seated on the throne. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, who deserves all our praise and desires to be close to us. Our heavenly Father sent His son, Jesus, to tear the veil that stood between Him and His creation. Now He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks. Will you open the door, acknowledge God, and live a life beholding the One who is on the throne?

The Lukewarm Church
by Dennis Rouse
Like the church of Philadelphia, we live in a world that is constantly being shaken. Because sin began in the Garden of Eden, all creation now groans in anticipation of Jesus’ return. Until then, even as we go through the trials of life, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves and to shine brightly for Christ. Though we may feel weak and unsure of how much we can endure, Jesus will make us strong until the end—then we’ll be safe in His presence forever!

The Church That was Unshakable

The Church That Fell Asleep
by Johnson Bowie
It’s easy for complacency to seep into our everyday lives until we become like sleepwalkers as we “follow Jesus.” What does this demonstrate to the world around us? Only the misconception that we can be saved and go on living as if righteousness is optional. We were created for more. Jesus wants us to be fully alive, to fiercely and boldly shine His light in our lives and to the rest of the world. That is fundamental to our calling as believers. Tune in as Jesus sounds the alarm and reminds us to live fully aware and fully awake to share His Good News.

The Church That Slept with Jezebel
by Johnson Bowie
Revelation 2:18-29 NIV“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at...

The Church That Believed a Lie
by Curvine Brewington
The Church of Pergamum believed a lie. They thought they had options—that they could have both Jesus and their sin. They were lured away and enticed by societal norms and became convinced that Christ crucified and resurrected wasn’t enough. The people of Pergamum were deceived, and the reality is: we must be intentional about acknowledging where we, too, may have been led astray. Otherwise, we could find ourselves influenced by the very culture we are called to impact. Join us as we humbly ask the Holy Spirit to take inventory of our hearts and recommit to aligning with the truth of His word!

The Church That Suffered Well
by Darius Dunson
What does it mean to “suffer well” and why should we care? When John wrote the book of Revelation, Jesus instructed him to write a second letter to the Church in Smyrna to prepare them (and us) for what is to come. God says we will suffer, that we will be tested… but He assures us that He is with us in the midst of it all. And, as we remain faithful, our temporary circumstances produce growth, favor and the promise of eternal victory for those who suffer well. Join us as we boldly continue to read, hear and obey Jesus’ love letter to the Church.

The Church That Forgot to Love
by Johnson Bowie
When asked about the greatest commandment, Jesus responded that we should love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind. And the second is just as important: to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. In the book of Revelation, Jesus instructs John to write to the Church in Ephesus to remind them of their lost love. If we’re honest, it’s still just as easy for us to let our love of God and others slip away or become dampened over time. Tune in as we are challenged to love like Jesus!

Jesus Is
by Johnson Bowie
Think about it. How often do you picture Jesus as He was? He was a baby in a manger. He was a broken man on the cross. He was dead. But God wants to reveal to us who His son is. In the book of Revelation, Jesus Himself says, “I AM the First and the Last. I AM the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I AM alive for ever and ever!” There’s a big difference between what was and what is. Tune in for a powerful revelation of the King and Savior of the world!
