The Prostitute and Babylon’s Fall

Revelation 17:1-18:24

April 18, 2021 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This Sunday we continue our series with Revelation 17-18. That’s right, we are covering two chapters again. After this, we will slow down a bit in the book. I think you will see that these two chapters really do hang together, though. In them, we see powerful imagery of a Prostitute and Babylon the great. Ultimately, it shows us that the indulgences we are offered in this world that draw us away from Christ look appealing but will be deadly in the end.

Behold, He is Coming Soon

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.
