Revelation: The Hope of Glory
Revelation 22
October 25, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 22
Revelation 22 is the final chapter in the book of Revelation and also in the entire Bible. We are calling our study of this important chapter The Returning King since it expresses our longing for Jesus’ return when He will come to set the world to rights. Join Pastor Jim as he explores the riches of joy and the hope of glory we find in the return of Christ!
Revelation 21
October 18, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 21
Have you ever wondered what this world is coming to? Is there any hope for lasting peace, for an end to all the acrimony, corruption, evil and violence? What is the real problem in this world and where can we find the real solution we need? The book of Revelation points us in the right direction, the hope of glory. Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through the 21st chapter, which carries the joyful account of how God intends one day to set all things right.
Revelation 20
October 11, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 20
What does the Bible teach about the End Times, the Millennium, the Lake of Fire, and the Great White Throne Judgment? When will these things take place and how will they impact those who resist God and/or those who surrender to God? What can we really know about these things? What timeless lessons can we learn from this amazing vision God gave to the apostle John? Join Pastor Jim for this hope filled message that leads us to wonder and worship!
Revelation 18
September 27, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 18
In the book of Revelation the ancient name of Babylon represents the false religious system and all the forces of wickedness and evil who have set themselves against God and against the Lamb. Chapter 18 describes the swift and scrupulous, righteous judgement of God in which He brings an end to Babylon in a vindication of God’s good name and of the trust and faith of God’s people down through the ages. Join Pastor Jim as he highlights the two proper responses of God’s people to such news.
Revelation 17
September 20, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 17
One of the most important questions we can ask ourselves is, “Whom or what do we worship?” We do have options on this but the impact on our lives is more significant than some would know. Join Pastor Jim as he opens up the treasures of Revelation 17 for us and leads us to see the beauty and majesty of Jesus, our Redeemer.
Revelation 16
September 13, 2020 • Pastor Tommy Bailey • Revelation 16
Revelation 16 continues the description of the unfolding cycle of the 7 bowls of God’s wrath to be poured out upon a sinful, darkening and rebellious world. This chapter is sobering, yet it offers us hope that God intends to right every wrong. God offers abundant mercy and is exceedingly patient with those who are set against him and his good ways. But, sin and evil have an expiration date. Join Pastor Tommy for this study from Revelation 16.
Revelation 15
September 6, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 15
Revelation 15 describes the unfolding cycle of 7 bowls or cups of God’s wrath to be poured out upon a sinful, darkening and rebellious world. This short chapter can easily be broken into two sections. The first section being about worship and the second about witness. Each of us participate in both all the time. The questions become: who/what are we worshiping? And what is the testimony of our witness, or, as some would call it, our “story” all about? Join Pastor Jim for this inspiring study from Revelation 15.
Revelation 14
August 30, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 14
Revelation 14 briefly asks and answers two pressing questions: First, what will ultimately happen to the Beast and all those who are marked as his? Second, what ultimately becomes of those who belong to God, yet who may endure suffering or death? Join Pastor Jim as he unpacks this often overlooked chapter that summarizes God’s wise warnings to those who have rejected Christ, and stirs hope among those who have trusted and surrendered to Christ.
Revelation 13
August 23, 2020 • Scotty Smith • Revelation 13
Join us as Scotty Smith continues our study of the book of Revelation. Chapter 13 gives us a picture of Satan's attempts to destroy the people of God and to keep Christians and non-Christians worshipping anything/anyone but Jesus. But, God is the sovereign ruler over all, including Satan, and God's people will be held fast through the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 12
August 16, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 12
A great battle rages between good and evil and Revelation 12 helps us understand what is going on and how we can not only survive but overcome through faith in Christ. Join Pastor Jim for this hope-filled-to-overflowing study of Revelation 12.
Revelation 11
August 9, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 11
Revelation 11 overflows with images and events that lead up to the sounding of the 7th trumpet and the foreshadowing of the return of the rightful king of all creation. Here we find the measuring of a temple of the worshipers of God, the significant and powerful work of two witnesses in the world, the beast from the abyss, and a world that has gone stark raving mad in their celebration of all that is evil. How does God respond? What about those who belong to Christ? Join Pastor Jim as he helps unfolds the hope of glory we find in Revelation 11!
Revelation 9
July 26, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 9
Throughout its pages the Bible reminds us that we need redemption. This is because our natural tendency is to think and act apart from God. We live as if God does not exist or, if God does exist, He does not matter. It is this lust for autonomy that ends up being self-destructive, has broken us and will continue to lead us to the wreck and ruin of our lives. Revelation 9 shows us how God has offered wise warnings about sin and points us to the redemption God offers through faith in Christ Jesus. Join Pastor Jim as he continues to unfold the hope-filled message of Revelation!
Revelation 8
July 19, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Revelation 8
Sometimes the silence of heaven can seem deafening. The third vision of Revelation opens chapter 8 with just such an unexpected silence. What is going on? What is God up to? Then follows a series of 7 trumpet blasts each signaling the divine shaking of everything humanity has put its trust in that is not God. Join Pastor Jim as he explores the meaning of all this and shows us the kindness of God’s patience and lovingkindness with a world full of lost sinners He loves.
