The End. - Revelation 20:7-15


Throughout history, the question has been asked: “How long?” How long will sin go unpunished? How long will the rebellious prosper? How long will God allow suffering? The answer is: not much longer. When the time is right, God will once and for all prove His power over Satan and sin. Will you be ready?

Justice Is Served - Revelation 16:1-21

A Judge can’t acquit a murderer because he doesn’t feel like punishing the criminal. Same with God. Since He is righteous, He must act in righteousness. He judged His Son on our behalf, but those who continually reject Him must be judged as well. However, even judgment reminds us of God’s righteousness.

The Beginning of the End - Revelation 15:1-8

As the Tribulation comes to a close, and God prepares to finalize His judgment on the earth, a parade breaks out. It’s not your typical parade, but what we witness reminds us that God’s judgment on sin is righteous and just. Even in the darkness of God’s judgment, His people can rejoice in victory!

Untouchable - Revelation 14:1-5


Emerging from the darkness & demonic oppression of the Tribulation will be a team of victorious men, unlike anyone this world has never seen. Like them, Christians are called to be set apart from the darkness of our culture, rejoicing always, and setting an example of purity and commitment to Jesus, at all costs.

The Worship Leader From Hell - Revelation 13:11-18


The job of a worship leader is summarized in the title: lead people into worship. Every person – Christian or not – is a worship leader of some sort. We are either worshiping ourselves or worshiping Jesus, and leading others to do the same. Don’t settle for a substitute, and don’t lead others astray. Worship Jesus!

Substitute "Savior" - Revelation 13:1-10

Even people who say they worship nothing worship something. It may be a person, fame, wealth, a job, or anything else. At the end of the world, people will be drawn to the promises of the Antichrist. However, he will eventually go to hell and take millions with him. There are many counterfeit saviors. Don’t be fooled.

This Means War! - Revelation 12:1-17

If you rewind the clock to before the Garden of Eden, you’ll find that Satan has been attacking God’s redemptive plan for a long time. He’s always persecuted Israel, and today he persecutes the Church as well. Although Satan is defeated, we daily go to war on sin, strategizing, resisting, and fighting him to the death!

The Pre-Party - Revelation 11:15-19

Tailgate parties are fun, but you hope you’ll have a bigger reason to celebrate later, once your team has won. In Revelation 11, the final trumpet sounds, and heaven bursts into a party, celebrating a future victory. That’s the beauty of following Jesus: victory, though still future, is so sure, we can celebrate it now!

Tribulation Task Force

Advertising is everywhere: busses, restrooms, product placement, and even people’s skin! Similarly, God has scattered His witnesses throughout the earth as He pursues the lost with the hope of the Gospel. In Revelation 11, we see God continuing that pursuit at one of the world’s darkest hours. He loves us!

Hell On Earth - Revelation 8:1-9:21


Kids throw fits because they think their way is best. People do the same thing spiritually. God won’t force feed His blessings to us. He knows best, and will continually warn you and guide you, but if you refuse repentance, your worst nightmare will come true: you’ll get your way. Consider yourself warned.
