Beginning the End

Getting Rid of Jezebel

November 17, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • Revelation 2:21–25

The greatest threat to the church is not external, it's internal. In the letter to Thyatira, Jesus challenges His people to identify and reject the enemy within - an enemy which we must fight in our time, too.

City of Satan, People of God

November 10, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • Luke 9:23, Revelation 2:12–17

Followers of Jesus create culture, rather than conforming to it. Jesus' letter to the church in Pergamum instructs us how to be people of character in a culture of compromise.

Faith Under Pressure

September 29, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • James 1:2–4, Revelation 2:8–11

Following Jesus often makes our lives harder, not easier. But when our faith is under pressure, we can persevere fearlessly, knowing that our suffering for Him is never in vain.

Lost Love

September 22, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • Revelation 2:1–7

It is both possible and very dangerous to believe the right things, and even believe the right things, but neglect the most important thing. Jesus pushes aside our externalities to seek our hearts.

Our Suffering and His Supremacy

September 15, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • Daniel 10:5–6, Revelation 1:7–20, Revelation 19:11–16, Daniel 7:9–10

We don't have to deny our adversity in order to endure through it; we can actually embrace it in proper perspective to the greatness of Jesus and His ultimate victory over every enemy.

The Unveiling

September 8, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • Revelation 1:1–6

When Scripture pulls back the curtain to show us the end of all things, the focus of attention is on one Person. We can be certain about Who holds the future, even when we don't know what the future holds.
