In Revelation 7, John gives us an interlude, as we are introduced to the first group of people who can stand during the day of God's wrath. They are the 144,000 Jews (12,000 from each tribe) who have a seal on their forehead to protect them against the antichrist and his minions. They will bring a revival among the Jews and Gentiles like has never been seen before. Amidst the Great Tribulation, God is still showing grace and mercy, bringing literally thousands, maybe millions, into his kingdom.

A Pause to Worship
May 19, 2024 • David Chadwick • Revelation 11:15–19
This week we will cover Revelation 11:15-19. The Seventh Trumpet Judgment (and the third "woe" that God talks about before his final wrath is poured out) blasts forth. It is stated that the kingdom of the world (the kingdom of Satan and darkness) is now ready to become the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Suddenly, all of heaven breaks loose in praise, giving thanks to Jesus for all he has done. The elders break forth in total worship. This is what will happen in heaven right before Jesus's Second Coming.
The Two Witnesses
May 12, 2024 • David Chadwick • Revelation 11:1–14
This week, we will continue our march through Revelation and look at chapter 11. More specifically, we will examine the two amazing witnesses that God sent into Jerusalem during the last half of the Great Tribulation. Amidst great opposition, they give continual testimony about Jesus and the need for all to accept him as Lord and Savior. The story has a wonderful and powerful ending. It's one that should encourage all of us to be faithful witnesses as well.
Is God Really in Control?
May 5, 2024 • David Chadwick • Revelation 10
This week, we will study Revelation 10 - and the meaning of the small scroll. It's an interlude between the 6th and 7th Trumpet Judgments. The title of the message is, "Is God Really in Control?" This is an especially relevant question when there's pain and suffering in your life. A mighty angel descends from heaven to give us the answer.
