1. Laodicea; The Chruch Of Today?
Contributed on Sep 30, 2010
Does the church of today resemble the lukewarm Laodiceans? Are we the last era of the Christian Church?
Revelation is the scariest book in the Bible, yet it’s also one of the most comforting, reassuring, and exciting books in the Bible.

2. The Throne, The Scroll, And The Lamb
Contributed on Sep 30, 2010
We humans strive to create an extravaganza that blows us away ie. Olympic opening ceremonies. Maybe we’re trying to create our own experience of heaven’s spectacle. But even Hollywood couldn’t recreate what we hear about in these chapters of Revelation, w
Probably the most spectacular sight I have ever seen was in Disney World this past winter, and it was a show called Fantasmic. Fire, music, water, lasers, holograms, lights, dragons, fireworks, battles. You couldn’t take your eyes off it, it was so spectacular. We humans strive to create ...read more

3. The Seven Seals
Contributed on Nov 23, 2010
Revelation is a brilliant book. We have already seen how the letters to the seven churches affect both them in the first century, and the church throughout history to the end of the church age. The same is true with the entire book, and that is why we hav

4. The Seven Trumpets
Contributed on Nov 23, 2010
There’s a saying that we should have an “attitude of gratitude”. We all know that even in the worst of times we have at least some little thing to be grateful for, but our nature is to focus on the things that are wrong. I am telling you that when we choo
You’ll notice there’s no outline in your bulletin or on powerpoint today because I want you to be completely focussed on experiencing our passage today. This is meant to be an experiential passage of Scripture, and I want you to be able to really put yourself in the story today. So ...read more

5. A Time For Testimony
Contributed on Nov 23, 2010
When we realize that we need nothing anymore, that God has provided everything we really need, we can show our thanksgiving to God by living for Him and helping other people find the giver of life. Like the 24 elders who get off their throne and fall down
Today we again have a little interlude from all the horror of the judgments. Thankfully God gives us these little breathers throughout Revelation because it is so intense. This is Thanksgiving weekend, and of course we should be the most thankful people of all knowing that we have a saviour that ...read more

6. The Terrible Trio
Contributed on Nov 23, 2010

Here we are back in Revelation after a couple weeks off and what an appropriate passage of Scripture we have today for Halloween. The Dragon and the beasts, this is a literal horror show with evil that can’t even be replicated by Hollywood. Let’s begin by looking at The Dragon, ...read more

Last year the New Orleans Saints football won the Super Bowl for the first time in team history after the ravages of hurricane Katrina.

9. Desolation And Destruction
Contributed on Dec 24, 2010
So in Chapter 17 of Revelation John gets whisked away in the Spirit and he comes upon this woman sitting on a scarlet beast. From the description of the beast we know who it is already, but what or who is this new woman we are introduced to?

10. The King's Victory
Contributed on Dec 24, 2010
Finally we get to the fun chapters of Revelation, more the good news about the future. Babylon has been destroyed, the world system of Satan is no longer, and in chapter 19 now we hear the rejoicing in heaven over this victory.
