Why doesn't Jesus always respond to our prayers in the ways that we want him to? Is it because he doesn't care, or might he have a greater purpose and plan for letting us experience some of what we experience in this life? Maybe we're right where God wants us to be so that we might experience his power and glory in a way we couldn't have otherwise.
Revelation makes clear that the Christian life is hard. But God has not left us to fend for ourselves in this struggle. How exactly does he help us? Check out our latest sermon on Revelation 12 for more.
What is the book of Revelation trying to teach us through the seven judgments of God that accompany the blowing of the "trumpets?" There are times when God's judgments are actually warnings to his creation to wake up before it is too late to turn back to him. If this is God's heart, how should the church respond?
At some point, everyone wrestles with an important question. If there is an all-powerful, all-knowing, and good God over all things, how can there be so much suffering and evil in our world? Revelation 6-8 attempts to help us make sense of suffering. How can we make the most of the time we have here, and what might the purpose and plans of God be behind our current experiences?
One of the most important questions we'll ever answer is, "Who is on the throne?" The answer to that question tells us who is in charge, who has authority over our lives, and who we're trusting with our future. In Revelation 4-5, John answers that question, but his answer might surprise you.
The third episode of "Elder Chat" features a conversation on how you can begin to pursue a personal relationship with Jesus. What does it look like to use spiritual disciplines to help us grow?
Jesus tells the church in Sardis that they have the appearance of being alive, but in reality, they are dead. How do churches die, and what can churches do to guard against experiencing something similar? Jesus goes on to tell them that it all comes down to remembering the Gospel.
Any time we start something new, we should first sit down and ask whether it's worth our time, attention, and energy. We're trying to figure out, "Will this be worth the cost?" In Revelation 2:12-17, Jesus speaks to a church that has paid a heavy price for their faithfulness. Will it be worth it in the end? Check out our sermon from Revelation 2:12-17 for more.
All of us will experience moments when our love for Jesus and others begin to grow cold. When we enter a season where we're "going through the motions" spiritually, how can we rekindle our love for God?
