What if everything wrong in your life stayed wrong forever—no justice, no healing, no hope—and then One stepped forward who could actually change it? In Revelation 5, heaven goes silent searching for someone worthy to hold the future, until a slain yet standing Lamb walks to the throne and takes the scroll. Come stand at the edge of the throne room and see why Jesus alone is worthy to hold your future in his hands. 1) The crisis 2) The answer 3) The response 4) The mirror Text: Revelation 5:1-14

Sometimes we might wonder why Jesus became man. Was it necessary? Did he have to face temptation? Did he have to suffer? What is the connection between it all? How does this actually help the Christian in his or her daily life? The answer is more profound and practical than you think. 1) The Powerful Savior 2) The Suffering Savior 3) The Willing Savior Text: Hebrews 2:5-18

Just because the calendar says it's Easter, doesn't mean we feel triumphant. This year, we'll walk alongside two discouraged disciples and discover how the risen Jesus meets us in unmet expectations, fractured dreams, and quiet despair. If you’ve ever felt like life isn’t unfolding according to plan, this message will show you how the resurrection rewrites the ending—and why the worst thing is never the last thing. Luke shows us two movements... 1) Why we get deflated 2) How we get elated Text: Luke 24:13-35

Good Friday marks the darkest moment in history—the crucifixion of the Son of God. Yet what humanity meant for evil, God meant for good. Tracing the story of Joseph to the cross, we’ll see how the worst evil ever committed became the greatest good ever accomplished—and what that means as we come to the Lord’s Table. Preach to yourself... 1) "Good is coming" 2) "Wait patiently" 3) "God's grace is astounding" Text: Genesis 50:19-20; Acts 2:23; Acts 4:27-28

All week long, we are bombarded by various messages that pull us away from the truth and centrality of the Word of God. In fact, we are tempted to drift away from it. This is the concern that the author of Hebrews had for his audience. In a world where our hearts are prone to wander, we have a reliable message that is a firm foundation. 1) The danger of drifting 2) The promise of a great salvation Text: Hebrews 2:1-4

What happens when the curtain pulls back and we see the throne room of God? In Revelation 4, John shows us a reality that changes everything—where every crown comes down and every voice cries “holy.” Join us as we discover why the cure for spiritual drift, idolatry, and empty religion isn’t more effort—it’s a bigger vision of God. The throne... 1) What it conveys 2) What it calls for 3) Why it's needed Text: Revelation 4:1-11

We are passionate about things that don't matter and indifferent to the things that matter most — and Jesus has a word for that condition. We wrap up Jesus' address to the seven churches of Revelation with a message to the wealthiest, most self-satisfied congregation Jesus addresses: Laodicea. Their story might be closer to home than we'd like to admit. 1) The symptom 2) The virus 3) The meds Text: Revelation 3:14-22

What if the greatest threat to your faith didn't come from skeptics or secularists — but from the church itself? We're in Revelation 3, where Jesus warns a faithful congregation that religious people can be the most unexpected source of opposition and exclusion. But he also offers them something better than belonging: a verdict that no one can overturn. Three different dimensions to this social shunning that we may all face... 1) The surprising source of it 2) The plan of action in the face of it 3) The reversal that ends it Text: Revelation 3:7-13

Your church might look alive — but what does Jesus actually see? We're examining Christ's sobering words to the church of Sardis, a congregation with a glowing reputation, full calendar, and zero spiritual pulse. Come ready to ask the hard question: beneath the activity, the programs, and the appearances — is there real life? 1) The rebuke 2) The remedy 3) The reward Text: Revelation 3:1-6

What happens when a church is full of love, but unwilling to say “no”? We'll examine Jesus’ sobering warning to Thyatira, a vibrant and compassionate church that drifted into dangerous compromise. Discover why real love requires discernment, why repentance is more than regret, and how holding fast to Christ is the only path to lasting life. We’ll approach this in three movements: 1) The pathology of permissiveness 2) The prognosis of permissiveness 3) The prescription for permissiveness Text: Revelation 2:18-29

Living faithfully in a culture hostile to Christ isn't easy—just ask the church in Pergamum (a.k.a. "Satan's City"). We'll discover that the greatest danger to the church isn't always external persecution, but internal compromise. But Jesus promises faithfulness will be rewarded. It will be worth it all. If we are going to remain faithful in Satan’s city, there are three realities we cannot ignore... 1) The pressure we face 2) The danger we harbor 3) The reward we receive Text: Revelation 2:12-17

Angels are intriguing creatures. At times they appear as men. Other times they are described with multiple wings and full of eyes! Although they might be fascinating, we must remember that they too are mere creatures who are not to be worshipped. We will explore the function of the angels and the worthiness of the Creator! 1) The creation of the angels 2) The function of the angels 3) The worthiness of the Son Text: Hebrews 1:5-14

The world is vying for our attention in many different ways. It seduces and lures us so that we might grab hold of what is fleeting. Is there anything that truly deserves our allegiance? Join us as we look to the one who reigns supremely! 1) The Nature of the Son 2) The Offices of the Son 3) The Supremacy of the Son Text: Hebrews 1:1-4

What does it mean to win when faithfulness costs everything? In Revelation 2:8–11, Jesus speaks to a persecuted church and redefines comfort, wealth, and victory through the lens of eternity. Discover how believers like Polycarp and Jim Elliot stood fearless and faithful in the face of flak—and how you can too. We need to tap into sources of... 1) Unexpected comfort 2) Unconventional wealth 3) Unheralded victory Text: Revelation 2:8-11

A church can be doctrinally sound and morally pure—and still be in danger. In his message to Ephesus, Jesus praises these much needed qualities but confronts a love that has grown cold. Discover why love for one another remains a vital part of the church's witness. Keys to victory... 1) Theological discernment 2) Moral purity 3) Familial love Text: Revelation 2:1-7
