BEASTLY IDEAS
Rev. 13:11-18 / Satan recruits a beast from out of the Earth to slander God, deceive people, and stop the church. How does the beast do this? What is the church to do? (This message was pre-recorded due to snow.)
THE BEAST VS THE LEAST
Rev. 13:1-10 / Satan gives his power to a beast to intimidate the church. Who does this beast represent? How does the beast operate? What are Christians to do?
WHAT CHILD IS THIS?
Rev. 11:19-12:17 / John sees a pregnant woman and a dragon waiting to devour her child. What do they mean and what might we learn from their meaning?
SEVEN TRUMPETS
Rev. 8:1-11:18 / The prayers of the saints brings the Kingdom of Heaven and with it, judgement. Isaac gives an overview of the seven trumpets of judgement and what they mean for us and our world today.
WE DO CHAOS. DIFFERENTLY.
Rev. 7:1-17 / An interlude between Rev. 6 & 8 offers perspective to the weary traveller on the road called faith. As we follow Christ, we will have opposition and even persecution. A life of faith is like swimming up stream and can get tiring. Rev. 7 says don't forget, you are sealed and destined for Heaven.

Rev. 5:4-10 / What does it mean that we are a ransomed people, a kingdom and priests of God, and that we will reign with Christ? What does that look like in the here and now?

Schedule your life with margins. I used to have my life scheduled in [...]
BEHIND THE CURTAIN
Rev. 4 / When one pulls back the curtain on the natural world and sees God in the heavenly realm they are forever changed. Some Christians are afraid to pull back the curtain for fear that there will be no god or a very weak god. John saw and heard God behind the curtain. What did he see and how does can it change our lives today?
WHEN JESUS ISN’T WELCOME
Rev. 3:14-22 / Christians with nice homes, nice clothes, and good health often see no real need for God. What does Jesus say, do and offer to these kinds of Christians?
