Mystery of Christ in His Churches - Revelation 1:12-20

July 7, 2024 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Revelation 1:12–20

Give

In the first of four great visions recorded throughout the book of Revelation, John

describes his encounter with the Risen Lord. Unconcerned with the appearance of Jesus in the

gospel he wrote, John now seems overwhelmed by his glimpse of Jesus after so many years. A

vision of Jesus is a necessary part of the explanation of this mystery for a persecuted people.

"Mystery of Babylon" - Revelation 17:1-19:3 | Full Sunday Service

July 28, 2024 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Revelation 17:1—19:3

This passage of Revelation forms one continuous drama displaying the judgment of Babylon. The woman of chapter 17 and the city of chapter 18 are the same entity. This is an appendix to the seventh bowl judgment (16:19) where these events are first mentioned. The mystery here is the identification of this recipient of overwhelming divine retribution.

Late: "Mystery of Lawlessness" - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

June 30, 2024 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • 2 Thessalonians 2

The issue of the Antichrist and how he emerges as a world leader is of vital interest to Christians in every generation. What historical realities conspire to allow such a man to gain global power? While certainly included in the book of Revelation, this mystery must be seen unfolding in both testaments in order to gain a more complete understanding.

"Mystery of Resurrection" - 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

June 23, 2024 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • 1 Corinthians 15:35–58

Very early, cynical questions were asked in Corinth about bodily resurrection. Some asked, “How are the dead raised? With what type of body will they come?” Paul answers these and other questions by unveiling the mystery of God’s working. By omnipotent power, God gifts to believers a body consistent with the promise of the gospel and suitable for life in eternity.
