The second rider on the red horse came to take peace from the earth. As a believer in Christ you can experience peace in your life.
• Jesus’ authority leads to peace: When we recognize Jesus’ sovereignty we can have peace even during dreadful circumstances.
• The Holy Spirit provides peace: When we feel overwhelmed, the Holy Spirit can provide peace for the believer through prayer.
• Peace requires action: When we go into the world we are called to bring peace. Live as an ambassador of peace to everyone you meet.

There are many myths about heaven. What does the Bible say? • Heaven is a real place: John’s vision in Revelation is clear, when he describes heaven it is not an ethereal manifestation; it is a tangible location. • Heaven is a perfected place: Our world is marred by sin, heaven will be a paradise uncorrupted by sin and death. • Heaven is a promised place: Heaven is a promise of hope for all humanity when place faith is placed in Jesus Christ. (Verses Cited: John 14:3; Matthew 13:44, 13:47; Isaiah 43:19; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 5:12, 8:18; Exodus 33:18-23, 34:29; John 3:16)

Revelation 20 is encouraging because we learn that God will reign for eternity, Satan will be defeated, and we have the assurance of eternity with God through faith in Jesus. • God Reigns: Every Christian eagerly awaits the reign of Christ however, we must be on guard because Satan seeks to draw us away from God. • Satan’s Defeat: When Satan is defeated he will be torments for eternity in the lake of fire. • Divine Judgement: When God comes to judge the world the only way we can stand secure is with our name in the book of life because of our faith in Christ.

The Battle of God
November 18, 2018 • Collin Monger
In Revelation 19 we see one warrior, one weapon, and one battle that will change the course of history for all people. • Jesus the warrior: This is not the typical Jesus. On the cross Jesus was the lamb, here He is the Lion of Judah! • The Bible our weapon: Jesus does not conquer the world with tanks, He used the Bible. We overcome Satan in our lives when we know and apply scriptural truths. • The war of Armageddon: Our adversary is determined but his defeat is secure! We overcome through faith in Christ. (Scriptural Citations: John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19; Philippians 2:10; 2 Timothy 1:7; 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Psalm 33:6; Hebrews 11:3; John 1:1, 1:14; Ephesians 6:17; Genesis 3:1, 2:17, 3:4-6; Matthew 4:6, 4:11; 2 Corinthians 10:4; Hebrews 4:12; Proverbs 3:5; Revelation 18:2)
