A Thousand Years

Revelation 20

May 9, 2021 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This is the most hotly debated and deeply studied passage in the entire book – which is saying something! It is another that is filled with powerful imagery. Satan will be bound, only to be released to wreak havoc before his final demise. Chapters 19-20 show us three stages of final judgment, first for the Antichrist and False Prophet, then for the Devil himself, and finally for all of humanity. We will explore the nature of the millennium (1,000 years, not the Falcon) but we will ultimately focus on the main point of the passage, that Satan’s days are numbered and he will be defeated in the end.

Behold, He is Coming Soon

June 13, 2021 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This Sunday is the final sermon in our series as we study Revelation 22:6-21. It’s always bittersweet to finish up a series. I have loved the chance to walk through this book with you all over the past six months. I hope you have seen that it is filled with hope and intensely practical and important for us. We are living in the Last Days. Not just because we have lived through uprisings, wars and rumors of wars, global plagues, and bugs that emerged from the ground after a 17-year slumber to torment our eardrums. We are living in the time between Jesus Christ’s resurrection and ascension to the throne, and His return to renew and restore all things. Jesus promised to return soon. This week we will talk about just what that means, and how we are called to live in light of His return.

Eternal Glory

June 6, 2021 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This Sunday is the penultimate sermon in our series in Revelation, we will wrap it all up next week. Revelation 21:9-22:5 gives us a portrait of the future glory of the New Jerusalem. It is a passage that is packed with beautiful imagery, ultimately showing us an image of the glory of God on earth. This is the end point of the whole biblical storyline and all of human history. Understanding it reshapes every aspect of our lives now.

Final Judgment

May 16, 2021 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This passage closes out the third vision of the book. It shows us the reality of final judgment before God that all people will face, and the eternal consequences of our lives. This passage also gives us a taste of eternity in God’s presence as we see the powerful and beautiful renewal and restoration of all things.
