Discover the lamb and our enemy
Revelation 12 and 13
There is an enemy against the Church, and John reveals that enemies agenda is to steal the worship of God away from him.
The question we must ask ourselves, who do we hope in?
These couple of pictures are from Jordan’s shopping trip with his kids.
The last picture is of Oscar Meyer’s Bacon app attachment. As our good friend Rey Brandt said so well after the sermon, “All sizzle, no substance.”

Discover the Lamb and the World
Revelation 6-11 tells us not necessarily of a world to come so much as the way the world is.
Revelation 6-11 offers us a great temptation to open the newspaper and decipher the times. Resist the temptation. Revelation 6-11 is not about a timeline telling us of precise dates and times in which Jesus will return. Revelation is not written so we might decipher the times and calculate the return of Jesus. Instead, the book is written to those who names and stories make up the newspapers. It’s written to people who are caught in the crosshairs of a world ravaged with death, war and famine to give them hope in the victorious Lamb.
As we will see in this sermon, there is no point in the last 2000 years in which the four horses haven’t been riding in the world. Their destruction is prevalent, the church is often in the mix, but we are victorious in Jesus!

Discover the Lamb and the Church
The Book of Revelation is a letter to the churches. These real churches faced very real problems. Jesus, as we learn in Revelation 1:9-20 is in the midst of His Churches and knows exactly what they are going through. For some churches, they take comfort and others are challenged. The letters to the churches in Revelation are powerfully still relevant to us today. It is a strong reminder of the truth of God’s Word, that it is alive and active, sharper then a double edged sword.

discover the lamb – Week 1
On February 2, we began our series on the book of Revelation.
The goals of the series are simple:
1. Learn to read the book of Revelation responsibly, and be resourced well-enough to do so
2. Love the Lamb of God (Jesus) more!
We will accomplish our goals through some introductory information about the book, understanding genre/symbols/numbers and then discovering all the book has to say about Jesus.
Let it be clear, Revelation is about reviving the church to a steadfast allegiance to Jesus the Lamb.
Introduced in this sermon is a few different concepts, some that really came out were:
1. Jesus is King and established his Kingdom in his first coming.
2. The Jesus described in the New Testament is the same Jesus in the first 26 books as he is in the last.
3. The book is about reviving the church, lets discover Jesus together!

Spirit of peace
Spirit of Peace
We need as Christians, especially when it comes to the text of Revelation a spirit of peace.
Where we land in the dating and views of Revelation can be all over the spectrum. But where we land on who Jesus is of greatest importance. Unity over Jesus’ identity is what matters most. This series will be more about Jesus and his identity than it is about his arrival and how precisely it will happen.
As we study Revelation together over the coming weeks and months, we will open a difficult text, come away changed and challenged to live all the more faithfully for Jesus Christ.
The hope of this series would be that we all would love Jesus more and follow him all the more faithfully.
We will be blessed to read and obey the book, Rev 1:3, so let’s do this!
