The two most mentioned commands in the book of Revelation are look (behold) and do not fear. Revelation was written to help us see so that we won’t fear. And the book opens with a vision of the beauty and grandeur of Jesus. The key to living fearlessly is seeing Jesus.
Look so you won't be afraid

All Sad Things Untrue

All of us have life experiences that have awakened in us a sense of longing for home. Revelation 21-22 looks forward to the home that God has for his people, a home we sometimes glimpse in moments of joy and that our hearts ache for in sadness, the place where there will be no not yet but only now, the place where all sad things become untrue.
Victory!
May 16, 2021 • Brian Watts
The book of revelation is a book about the triumph of Jesus and his church. As the book nears a close we see the climatic picture of the victory of Jesus and His people. Revelation 20 shows us the restraining of Satan, the victory of God’s people, the return of the King and the destruction of all evil.
Two Invitations
May 9, 2021 • Brian Watts
You have probably received an invitation to something: a birthday party, a graduation party, a wedding. Anytime you receive an invitation, you have the opportunity to accept or decline. Revelation 17-19 involves two invitations. One invitation is to a great wedding feast at the end of history in the Kingdom of God with Jesus. The other invitation is from the great prostitute and she is inviting us to be satisfied at the table of this world. Both invitations promise joy and satisfaction but only one can deliver.
