The Lion, the Lamb, and a New People

Revelations 5

March 27, 2016 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Revelation 5

Today, on Easter, we gather to celebrate Jesus’ climactic defeat of Satan, sin, and death itself through his bodily resurrection from the grave. To do that we will turn to the fifth chapter of the book of Revelation. In this chapter, the Apostle John pulls back the curtain on reality and gives us insight into what is most real. At its center is the Lion who conquered, the risen Lamb that was slain and a new ransomed people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.

The Incomparable Glory of the Risen Jesus

March 31, 2024 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Revelation 1:9–20

On Good Friday we remembered Jesus’ substitutionary death on the cross. Today, on Easter, we celebrate Jesus’ climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. In our passage today, we get a glimpse into real reality with the incomparable glory of the risen Jesus at the center. It reminds us that no matter what we face, or how bad things may look, the risen Jesus is at work in unimaginable ways.

Waiting For His Son Whom He Raised

April 9, 2023 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • 1 Thessalonians 1:2–10

On Good Friday we remembered Jesus' substitutionary death on the cross. Today, on Easter, we celebrate Jesus' climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, he draws a line from Jesus' resurrection to his return. He argues that the reality of the former guarantees the reality of the latter. But, did Jesus rise? How do we know? Can we know?

Good Friday 2023

April 7, 2023

Good Friday marks the day that Jesus was unlawfully tried and brutally murdered on a cross outside Jerusalem, nearly 2,000 years ago. It can seem so far removed from our lives—historically and culturally—that we simply dismiss it as a mere footnote of history. But, it is not a footnote. Good Friday marks the culmination of the redemptive promises of God in the substitutionary death of Jesus, to rescue all who place their faith in him.
