We all have hopes for our lives. From healthy and flourishing families, to financial stability, to your favorite sports team winning the championship. These desires have something in common: they are not guaranteed to happen. But one hope we can count on is the return of King Jesus to make everything right in our world. That's the hope we need.

The sky is always most beautiful after the storm, and that’s what we’ll start to see as we get to the last few chapters of Revelation. After God’s storm puts an end to evil and suffering, we’ll celebrate with all of heaven and earth.

The final judgment depicted in Revelation sounds terrifying, and it should be for those without Jesus. But for those of us who’ve put our trust in Christ, it’s good news of how God will finally free us from the destructive effects of sin in the world.

Maybe you've heard the phrase, "Be in the world, but not of the world." But what does that really mean, and how do we live that out?

We have an ancient enemy who’s trying to peel away the disciples of Christ to worship him instead. The continual encouragement in Revelation is to endure, even when Satan makes life difficult for us. And as we’ll see in Revelation 14, we can be faithful today by remembering the harvest reward we’ll experience in the days to come.

This week we’re heading back to Revelation! Many Christians think of Revelation as some kind of Magic 8-Ball that gives cryptic answers to our burning questions about the future, but John primarily wrote the book to be a source of encouragement and challenge for us today. There are many things Christians need to endure in the world today, and John will show us the way.

When Jesus came to earth, he didn’t just build friendships and relationships. He built spiritually-significant relationships. And when we imitate Jesus, we turn the world upside down. If you know someone who’s searching for significance, invite them this Sunday 10AM in-person or online to find out how Jesus can change the world through them, beginning by changing their heart.

According to a recent Barna study, a majority of American Christians (56%) feel their spiritual lives are entirely private. Yet, when we read about the lives of Jesus and His disciples, we see that spiritual growth is best fostered in community. This Sunday, we’ll be encouraged to start the new year investing in friendships that are life-giving and fruitful.

Luke records a time when Jesus was a child. His family made their way to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, but Jesus was so hungry for God’s word that he stayed behind. Joseph and Mary realized he wasn’t with them, only to find him in “his Father’s house.”

John witnesses a cosmic battle. There’s a woman who represents God’s people and a child who is Jesus. Jesus, along with the angels defeat the Dragon who is Satan. The Dragon is thrown down to the earth, where he persecutes Christians for a period of time.

John is told about two witnesses who represent God’s people. They are given authority to do powerful signs, but they also experience intense persecution and death. Yet, God breathes his life to resurrect these victims for Christ and lead them into victory.

In these chapters, John sees the seven trumpets of judgment executed on one-third of the earth. Each judgment intensifies from the other.
