Revelation: Begin With the End in Mind

We're Not In Kansas Anymore

January 12, 2020 • Pastor Rick Friesen

What will the new Heaven and Earth be like and who will be there?

Bound

January 5, 2020 • Pastor Rick Friesen

In the first scene, Satan is bound for 1,000 years and released for a purpose. The result is the great judgement scene for all of mankind.

Behold He Comes

December 22, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

Heaven rejoices at the wedding feast of the Lamb and the rider on the white horse makes His triumphant entrance.

Babylon Fallen

December 15, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

The world mourns as Babylon falls with all of her excessive luxuries. The power of the world is nothing when compared to the power God.

Beauty on a Beast

December 8, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

What does the beast represent and who is the woman? This challenging chapter gives us a glimpse of what regions/nations will be at war during the end times.

Seven Angels, Seven Plagues, Seven Bowls

December 1, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

In this scene, God's wrath is unleashed, but, remember, God is just. His judgements are right.

The Harvest

November 3, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

The eternal gospel is proclaimed to the whole world to "Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgement has come." Chapter 14 sets the stage for God to exercise His justice and mercy.

The Beasts from the Sea and Earth

October 13, 2019

There is a lot of mystery in the two beasts mentioned in Revelation 13, but rest assured, God is in control.

The Womand and The Dragon

October 6, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

Who is this mysterious woman, her son and the dragon?

Two Witnesses

September 29, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

Why was John asked to measure the Temple and who are the two witnesses?

Sweet Bitterness

September 22, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

Is all this judgement stuff necessary? In Revelation chapter 10 we take a brief intermission before the seventh trumpet sounds.

Trumpets and Thunder

September 15, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

The seventh seal is opened and seven trumpets sound as judgement is announced. The imagery is intense, but we have hope in Jesus that all of this will work together to honor God.

The Great Intermission

September 1, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

In Revelation Chapter 7 John sees the 144,000 servants who have been sealed for a purpose and a great multitude worshiping God on His throne. What is their purpose and who are they?

What the Seals Reveal

August 25, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

"I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals." – Revelation 6:1 In this chapter, God reveals His judgment upon a world that has boldly rejected Him. God is not "Father Time, the Man Upstairs" or any sort of indifferent bystander in the affairs of men. He is just and He judges because He loves. And because He loves, He invites us to begin a relationship with Him and experience His joy instead of His judgment. The choice is ours.

Only One is Worthy

August 18, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

In Revelation 5, John and a great audience in Heaven watched as Jesus the Lamb is deemed the only One worthy to open the scroll revealing God's message and will. Heaven erupts in praise – the only reasonable response when we're confronted with the glory and greatness of God. "Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: 'To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!' "The four living creatures said, 'Amen,' and the elders fell down and worshiped."
