Revelation - Babylon Will Fall

Few things confuse us more than Revelation chapters 6-19. Within them seven seals are broken, seven trumpets are blown, and seven bowls of wrath are poured out on the earth. But what is the point of all of these judgments are disasters? What did they communicate to their original audience? And how should they shape the way we live today.

Revelation - Babylon the Prostitute

As John's vision progresses we are introduced to another symbolic critique of the Roman Empire: Babylon the Prostitute. But how is this element of Roman rule different than the Beast of chapter 12? And how should it shape the way that we live day in and day out?

Ray Lowe - Excel in the Grace of Giving

Ray Lowe shares from the heart on excelling the grace of giving. Money is one of the great idols of our culture, but the Scriptures have a ton to say about it, and the early church longed to excel in the grace of giving as they operated under God's blessing.

Revelation - 7 messages to 7 churches

As John's vision progresses, he is given 7 separate messages for 7 real churches in Asia Minor. These messages are for them (and for the church universal) but one of the many things they reveal is that Jesus is alive and well, and He walks among His churches. 

Revelation - 666, the Beast, and the Mark of the Beast

As the intense narrative of Revelation unfolds we are introduced to the "unholy trinity": the dragon and his two beasts. The beast, the mark of the beast, and the number of the beast (666) have been the subject of endless speculation in recent decades. But who was the beast in the eyes of its first century readers? And how should that shape how we live today?

Revelation - The Lamb, the Dragon, and the Church

After the centering vision of the Lamb on the Throne, John witnesses the Lamb open 7 seals. 7 trumpets, 7 signs, and 7 bowls of wrath follow in an intense narrative which spans from chapter 6 to chapter 20. But along the way there are several breaks in the narrative, in which "signs" help unlock the meaning behind all the happens in the book. Chapter 12 is one of the signs, in which all of creation is pictured in cosmic warfare. 

Revelation: The Lamb on the Throne

After receiving 7 messages for the 7 churches, John is then ushered into a heavenly realm in which he witnesses the centering vision of the entire book of Revelation: the Lamb on the Throne. 

Revelation - What is Revelation?

Revelation is likely the most controversial and dangerous book in all of the Bible. But we want to start our series by asking a simple question: What is Revelation? And how should the genre completely shape our experience in this book? 

Vision Series 2019 - Discipleship in Community

As we set our sights on the year ahead, we believe that God is bringing us into a “new era” as a church, and one of the things that will mark this new era is that more "church" will happen outside of Sundays. One of the avenues we expect God to use powerfully in all this is the missional community. 

Vision Series 2019 - Kingdom Mission

As we set our sights on the year ahead, we believe that God is bringing us into a “new era” as a church, and one of the things that will mark this new era is that God will increasingly capture our hearts for unreached people both here and abroad.
