Join Pastor Maxwell Gucake for a special sermon.

Join Pastor Michael as he continues through the series Endnotes.

Jordan and Pastor Michael continue the Endnotes series by examining the believer’s calling inside Babylon, diving into Revelation 10 and 11 to discover what it means to be a prophetic voice in an era of political noise and moral co-optation. Exploring the bittersweet little scroll and the enduring testimony of the two witnesses, they confront the modern temptation to trade Christ's sacrificial mission for earthly status and civic enforcement. When cultural systems demand compromise, will we rely on the coercive power of the state, or will we rise as faithful witnesses anchored in radical love and the uncompromised Kingdom of God?

Jordan and Pastor Michael continue the Endnotes series with "Worthy is the Lamb," stepping into Revelation 5 to witness the opening of the seven-sealed scroll. Unpacking the paradox of the Lion of Judah appearing as a slain Lamb, they show how true divine authority is defined by self-sacrificing love rather than worldly domination. In a weary culture grasping for control, will we trust fragile human systems, or rest in the only King worthy to rule?

Join us for a special sermon from Pastor Jose Cortes Jr.

Jordan and Pastor Michael continue their journey through the Endnotes sermon series with "Hope for a Divided America," zooming out from familiar apocalyptic symbols to behold the grand narrative of the cosmic conflict in Revelation 12. Moving past modern culture’s "main character syndrome" and divisive political battles, they explore how the war between the Dragon and the woman is waged not over sheer force, but over the very character of God. Remembering that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, they challenge believers to lay down the urge to treat neighbors as enemies and step into our true calling as Christ's ambassadors. In a world gripped by fear and fractures, will we try to win the fight through our own strength, or will we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony?

Jordan and Pastor Michael continue their journey through the Endnotes sermon series with "The Final Warning," exploring the cosmic wake-up call of the seven trumpets in Revelation 8 and 9. Moving past the paralyzing fear of apocalyptic timelines and modern-day "moral OCD," they unpack the vital difference between divine judgment and God’s urgent invitations to wake up before destruction strikes. By unmasking the true nature of the destroyer and tracing the enemy’s oldest weapon—deception—back to Eden, they challenge believers to examine where their allegiance truly lies. When the world trembles under cataclysmic shifts and the sirens begin to sound, will we harden our hearts around fragile idols, or will we fix our eyes on the Lamb and seize the time we have left to share His hope?

Jordan and Pastor Michael continue their conversation through the Endnotes sermon series with "People of the Lamb," moving from the rise of counterfeit powers into the ultimate question of who will claim our worship. Digging into Revelation 14 and the Three Angels' Messages, they unpack the dangerous, intoxicating temptation to legislate morality and trade the life-giving invitation of the Creator for the coercive control of Babylon. As the lines between church and state blur and we become what we behold, will we drink from the cup of earthly power, or will we turn our gaze back to Jesus, sing a little louder, and follow the Lamb wherever He goes?

Jordan and Pastor Michael continue their conversation through the Endnotes sermon series with "Empire of Allegiance," shifting from abstract prophecy into the confronting realities of the here and now. Digging into Revelation 13 and the seductive alliance between civil power and religious devotion, they unpack what happens when fear eclipses faith and cultural systems demand absolute loyalty under the guise of righteousness. When earthly institutions mimic the sacred through coercion and control, will we settle for the counterfeit power of the beast, or will we anchor our allegiance in the slain Lamb with the patient endurance of the saints? (P.S. Yes, we know we’re playing a bit of catch-up on our episode drops—forgive the delay as you will get some daily content!)

When the uncertainty of our world and the fear of the future leave us anxious about what tomorrow holds, it is easy to wonder who is truly in control of human history. In this episode of Beyond the Summit, we explore Revelation 5 to discover where real power and hope lie—looking past the dominations of earthly empire to the throne room of heaven, where the Lion of Judah conquers not through force, but as a slain Lamb whose self-sacrificing love secures our eternity.

Jordan and Pastor Michael continue their conversation through the Endnotes sermon series with "The Rise of Babylon," exploring the origin, allure, and systemic nature of humanity's oldest counterfeit. Tracing the through line from the Garden of Eden and the Tower of Babel to Revelation 17, they unpack how culture attempts to seize God's power without His character. When false systems mimic the sacred, will we be swept away by the imitation, or can we spot the counterfeit before the Lamb wins the final hour?

When the weight of daily headlines and personal struggles starts to feel overwhelming, it is easy to wonder if our lives are simply caught in chaos without a greater purpose. In this episode of Beyond the Summit, we dive into Revelation 12 to zoom out on the grander cosmic conflict unfolding behind the scenes—learning how to faithfully confront the true enemy of our souls without turning our brothers and sisters into opponents, and discovering how ordinary endurance overcomes through the blood of the Lamb.

As the lines between religious influence and political power continue to blur, it is easy to wonder how the church can speak truth without compromising its mission. In this episode of Beyond the Summit, we dive into Revelation 10 and 11 to explore what it looks like to find, use, and keep our voice in a divided world—learning how to faithfully confront Babylon without adopting its coercive power.

Between escalating headlines, natural disasters, and global unrest, it's easy to wonder how close we really are to the end—and how much longer this journey is going to take. In this message from Keene Church, we walk through Revelation 8–9 and Matthew 24 to rethink what the apocalyptic alarms and the sounding of the seven trumpets are actually communicating.

Ever feel like the world is running on pure anxiety and power trips? In this message from Keene Church, we dive into Revelation 14 to call out Babylon’s fake security and the trap of trying to control everything on our own terms. Tune in to unpack why real rest starts with the Sabbath, how worship literally rewires an anxious brain, and why our best move isn't fighting dirty—it's simply singing louder behind the Lamb.
