Visions: A Study of Jesus in Revelation - Carlton Landing Community Church

Jesus Is Coming Soon: Rev. 22

October 27, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 22

The final message of Revelation is simple: Jesus is coming soon. Will you be ready? All of the Bible showcases the neverending love of God, and the final chapter gives us the encouragement we need to be ready when Jesus returns.

Jesus Is Making All Things New: Rev. 21:1-7

October 20, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 21:1–7

In the final vision of Revelation, we see the end goal of all things. Jesus is making all things new. He will right every wrong, wipe every tear, and bring us into the perfectly heavenly kingdom of the Father. All suffering and death will pass away and heaven and earth will be one in the New Jerusalem.

Jesus Is Coming Again: Rev. 19:6-16

October 13, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 19:6–16

The greatest event in all of history will be the second coming of Jesus Christ. This future event, foretold almost 2,000 times in the Bible, is the source of our hope, now and forever. In Revelation 19, Jesus returns to judge the world, save his people, and fulfill the promises of God. It is a source of joy for believers and an anchor for our faith in what's to come.

Jesus Is Protecting His People: Rev. 14:1-12

October 6, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 14:1–12

By Revelation 14, we haven't seen the Lamb in 7 chapters. Where is Jesus during all the chaos? He's with his people, and he always will be. The middle section of Revelation presents us with a striking contrast between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the dragon. The beasts force us to consider who we will worship. But the Lamb shows us that God will always be among his worshiping people.

Jesus Is the King of Kings: Rev. 11:15-19

September 29, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 11:15–19

In the middle of the book, Jesus is proclaimed the king of all the nations of the earth. But why doesn't it look like he's reigning? The Kingdom of God is not like the kingdoms of the earth. It is a proclamation, a mustard seed, and a treasure. Understanding the "already and not yet" of the kingdom helps us to live in and proclaim the kingdom of our Lord until he comes again.

Jesus Is Present in the Silence: Rev. 8:1-5

September 22, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 8:1–5

After the 6th seal, we expect a climactic judgment scene in heaven, but instead, as the 7th seal opens, there is 30 minutes of silence. God and the Lamb are present in the silence, and an angel gathers up the prayers of the people and casts them down to the earth. A pattern emerges that every Christian must learn: silence, prayer, and action.

Jesus Is the Good Shepherd: Rev. 7:9-17

September 15, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 7:9–17

God's favorite metaphor for leadership in the Bible is shepherding. It was not a glamorous profession, but shepherding shows us an insight into the heart of God. In Revelation 7, the Lamb steps forward to shepherd God's people and we get a glimpse of what it's like to follow Jesus's loving leadership.

Jesus Is Worthy of Worship: Rev. 4-5

September 8, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 4—5

The heavenly throne room erupts with singing, praise, and worship to the Lamb. The chorus crescendoes when the Lamb steps forward to open the scroll and fulfill the promises of God. This passage shows us that Jesus is worthy of our worship and encourages us to join in with the chorus of heaven.

Jesus Is Leading the Church: Rev. 1:12-20

September 1, 2024 • Cole Feix • Revelation 1:12–20

We talk a lot about Jesus in the past and Jesus in the future, but what is Jesus doing now? In the book of Revelation, there are nine visions of Jesus that reveal who he is and what he's doing now. These visions round out our picture of Jesus and encourage us to persevere to the end.
