Revelation
The Certainty of Sovereignty
Revelation 22:14-21 - The End
February 12, 2023
This is the last message of our Revelation series, and it is both sobering and deeply hopeful. Jesus Himself speaks, and we are invited into His presence forever through faith by the Spirit and the witness of the Church. The main question to ask yourself at the end of this series is simply: Are you ready?
Revelation 22:1-6
January 22, 2023
This message begins the last chapter of Revelation. An angel continues to reveal characteristics of heaven to John, and we see reflections of Eden in the eternal Paradise. The tree of life and the river of the water of life both are featured, and we invited to be comforted in our future purposeful work and in the loving reign of God for all eternity.
Revelation 21:9-27 - The New Jerusalem
January 15, 2023 • Jeff Noble • Revelation 21:9–27
In Revelation 21, we are stunned by a glorious picture of the new Jerusalem, coming down from God. This will be the dwelling place of God with His people for eternity. This vision, as recorded by John, prepares us for the purity and perfection of our eternal reward. We are reminded that the best part of heaven is not its benefits but the presence of our loving God.
Revelation 21:1-8 - Be There
January 8, 2023 • Jeff Noble
This message celebrates the first vision of heaven in Revelation that includes the church’s life after Christ’s return. Death is defeated, and real, eternal and abundant life begins! The most important thing for each person to determine NOW is to “be there.” Jeff shares the gospel and how each person can find assurance that they will be in heaven with God one day.
Revelation 20:11-15 - The Great White Throne Judgment
November 27, 2022
The last verses of Revelation 20 describe the end of sin and the death of death. The Great White Throne Judgment is the culmination of rebellion against God, and as those who have rejected Him are judged, we learn the ultimate destinations and destinies of humanity. It prompts our awe, prayer and compassion.
Revelation 20:7-10 - The Release of Satan
November 13, 2022 • Jeff Nob
Revelation 20 is one of the most difficult chapters in the book to understand. This passage teaches that Satan will be released from the abyss after Jesus’ 1000-year reign on earth. At that time, he will successfully deceive humanity again, and there will be another battle against the saints. We learn much about man’s nature, Satan’s intent, and Jesus’ sovereignty through these verses.
Revelation 20:4-6 - The Rapture & Reigning Saints
October 30, 2022 • Jeff Noble • Revelation 20:4–6
"They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” This one statement in Revelation 20:4 has immense implications for us as we look at the final days. This message examines what the Bible teaches(or doesn’t) about the Rapture of the church, its timing and the blessed expectation for all Christians when Christ returns."
Revelation 20:1-10 - The Milennial Reign of Jesus
October 23, 2022 • Jeff Noble
One of the most difficult passages in all of the New Testament begins with teaching about Jesus’ 1000 year reign, with Satan being bound and believers being raised from the dead. Our view of the Millennium may differ, but what we can confidently believe is Jesus’ sovereignty, His power over Satan, and our present mission to live joyfully and boldly, with authority TODAY.
Revelation 19:11-21 - The Final Battle
October 9, 2022 • Jeff Noble
In this message, we study two visions: one of Jesus in the fullness of His power and authority one of the last battle Jesus rides a white horse into Armageddon, and the brevity verses of about this consummate “Day of the Lord” teaches us profound lessons about God’s power and sovereignty.
Revelation 19:1-10 - The Exultant Bride
October 2, 2022 • Jeff Noble • Revelation 19:1–10
These verses provide another interlude which gives us a glimpse into heaven and the praise of God that echoes there. It occurs just before the final battle between the antichrist and Jesus, and it’s a joyfully confident reminder that praise never stops because our God is in control. We too must learn to praise God for who He is and not just for what He does.
Revelation 18 - The Fall of Babylon, Part 2
September 25, 2022 • Jeff Noble • Revelation 18
Chapter 18 revisits the cataclysmic fall of "Babylon" - representing a city/culture that is finally judged in the end times. The message challenges us to "come out" of the world's system and think with creative beauty about how to build the kingdom of God even as the kingdoms of this world are eventually destroyed.
Revelation 17 - The Fall of Babylon, Part 1
September 18, 2022 • Jeff Noble • Revelation 17
In one of the more difficult passage of Revelation, we're introduced to the "great prostitute" who we learn represents a city or culture. In the prelude to the final battle, a confederation of kings arise who give all their power to the beast (representing the antichrist) in a final attempt to overthrow God, beginning with the extermination of Christians who won't worship the beast or bow to evil.
Revelation 16:1-21 - The Bowl Judgements
August 14, 2022 • Jeff Noble • Revelation 16
This message examines the final judgements that God inflicts on the inhabitants of earth during the end times. As seven angels pour out these different expressions of God's wrath, people not only reject God but curse Him. What can we learn about God, ourselves, and our culture as we discern the times?
Revelation 15:1-8 - A Profound Song of Promise and Presence
August 7, 2022 • Jeff Noble • Revelation 15
In this message from Revelation 15, Jeff looks at the similarities between the song that is sung in the passage and other songs recorded throughout Scripture. We learn about the heart these songs reveal, and how we can pursue that same kind of heart in our lives.
