If you have ever gone through an extremely difficult season in life—perhaps harder than you expected—or if you are experiencing one now, this sermon is for you. God, in His wisdom, gave us the book of Revelation to prepare us for life’s hardships.

A Song of Justice and Mercy (Rev. 15 & 16)
For those of us who follow Jesus, God gives us a sure & certain promise of hope in Revelation. Yes, we will experience suffering & sorrow in this life. But Jesus rules from heaven and he assures us that, in the end, he will make all things right.
Victory Over the Accuser (Rev. 8 – 14)
Navigating life based on the things around us may be common, but it is not the best way. Jesus told us these things will change, be threatened, or turn against us. We need an unchanging reference point—one we can trust and follow. That unchanging reference point is Jesus.
A Vision of Hope & Redemption (Revelation 4-7)
The whole idea of the book of Revelation—the whole purpose—is that God wants you to know, in a general sense, what is going to happen in the future so that you can have resilient faith as that future unfolds.
Wholehearted Love (Revelation 1-3)
We all have a soul craving of some kind. We hunger for something—maybe love, maybe truth, maybe wisdom, maybe power. Each of us is looking to a particular source to satisfy that craving….The affections we hold in our hearts are incredibly important because they determine the trajectory of our lives.
The Good Shepherd & the Gate
Bombarded by scammers and opposing opinions on true paths to health and wholeness, we are naturally skeptical. How do we know who really has our best interests at heart? The One who laid down his life for us to give us eternal life with him. Let’s listen to his voice and follow him. (Based on John 9 & 10.)
The Treasure of Jesus
Because of the rich, overflowing fullness of Jesus, He is the answer to the great questions our cosmos longs to have answered.
A New Life in Partnership with Others
Our sharing in the divine fellowship of God, through Jesus, forms the foundation of our fellowship with our fellow Christians. Through our relationship with God, we receive all the love, compassion and grace that we need to love our sisters and brothers in Christ.
Starting Strong 4: Perseverance
Jesus will help you to live a life that inspires and encourages others. He will help you to persevere through all the dangers and trials you will face. And Jesus will be with you to give you the power, love and self-discipline you need to think clearly, love dearly, and endure hardship.
Starting Strong 3: Focus
As we live our lives focused on Jesus, he will work in our lives and weave them into the grand story he is writing and make it part of the beautiful tapestry of renewal and hope that he is creating.
