The Second Coming of Christ - Revelation 19:11-21

The second coming of Christ is a perfect exercise in Biblical interpretation. Nothing happens or is described without a direct reference to previous scripture. It is through a complete understanding of God's Word that we come to a proper understanding of who Jesus is, what He's promised, and how we live in light of those realities.

1. Jesus is identified by claims made about God and the Messiah in the Old and New Testaments.
2. The angel's announcement of the Battle of Armageddon is an intentional quotation of the Old Testament.
3. Our hope in God is formed and informed by His Word.

Dancing With Damnation

November 2, 2022 • Scott Richards, Sean Richards • Revelation 22:18–21, 1 Thessalonians 5:20–22, Deuteronomy 4:2–4, Deuteronomy 18:18–22

The closing words of Revelation continue the trend we've seen since the beginning of the book. With a quotation of the Old Testament, we're reminded to have high standards for what we hear from God and even higher levels of accountability for what we say about God. False teachers don't fear accountability. True followers of Jesus will consider the challenge of testing everything they hear as worth the effort if it means they know they're really hearing from their Lord. 1. False teachers don't fear accountability from God. 2. True prophets will always affirm what God's already revealed about Himself. 3. Deeper fellowship with Jesus is worth the effort of having high standards for prophecy.

Revelation Wrap Up

October 26, 2022 • Scott Richards • Revelation 1:1–3, John 6:27–28, Numbers 24:15–17, Revelation 22:6–17

The focus of prophecy is Jesus. The purpose of prophecy is revealing who Jesus is. The intention of prophecy is further appreciation of all that we have in Jesus. 1. The purpose of prophecy is to reveal who Jesus is. 2. The Bible is a self-interpreting book. Incomplete knowledge results in incomplete understanding. 3. Prophecy is the most practical aspect of personal bible study.

Paradise Found

October 19, 2022 • Scott Richards • Ezekiel 47:1–12, John 7:37–40, Matthew 11:28–30, Revelation 22:1–5

With the restoration of God and man finally complete, a series of fulfilled promises are drawn attention to representing our eternal relationship with God. In the River of Life, we see the Holy Spirit. In the Tree of Life, we see our fellowship with the Father. And in the jobs we will have to do, we will serve the Son. 1. The Tree of Life represents the fellowship with the Father we lost in Eden. 2. The River of Life represents the Fellowship with the Holy Spirit we can even enjoy today. 3. Eternal Life is knowing the Son face to face.
