Revelation
Babylon has Fallen!
flow from the ayin section of Psalm 119. Let us pray. Father, at times we feel like even though we have done what is just and right, we are still left to our oppressors. And so we ask that you might give us, your servants, a pledge of your good, that the insolent would not oppress us. Lord, our eyes long for your salvation. We long for the fulfillment of your righteous…
The Seven Bowls
Revelation 15 and 16. We come to the end, sort of. The cycles of judgment are culminating in these final judgments, but ahead is still the description of the world systems falling apart and the marriage supper of the Lamb. But here are presented the final judgments in the 7 bowls of God’s wrath. And as we look to the reading of God’s word, if you please join…
A Joyful Reward
Revelation 14, see the triumph of Jesus both in joy as well as in judgment. Revelation 14, as we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you would join with me in prayer. God of all mercy, you’ve promised never to break your covenant with us, and so amid all the changing words of our generation, Lord, we ask that you would continue to speak your eternal words…
The Unholy Trinity
For you to act. Your law has been broken, but work in us a love for your law that is above gold, even fine gold, that we would consider all your precepts to be right, that we might hate every false way. Father, we thank you for the Psalms. We thank you for this psalm that exalts your word. And we ask that you would use it, even our prayer, to prepare us to hear your word…
Cosmic Conflict
—For the reading of God’s word. Revelation chapter 12. It’s the center of the book, literally, but it’s also considered a key and a pivotal vision for the entire message of Revelation. So we look to the reading of God’s word. If you join with me in prayer. Our great God, we do ask that you would guide us by your word and by your spirit, that in…
Protected and Persecuted
Revelation chapter 11. If you came from a more dispensational background, maybe something like the Left Behind series is familiar to you. Know that this morning is going to be very different from that, and I recognize what I’m saying may not be as familiar to you if you’re from that background, but hear me out. As we begin, if you would join with me in prayer.…
Providence Lived Out
Revelation chapter 9 and 10. One writer reminds us that Revelation is a picture book and not a puzzle book. It’s not an allegory that must be decoded before we can understand it, but the experience itself tells us what it means. So with that in mind, we’re going to look to the experience of what is being said to us. That we would be able to understand and to…
Prayers & Trumpets
As we prepare to hear God’s word, let us go before the Lord in prayer. This prayer flows from Psalm 119, the section entitled Ayin. Father, our eyes long for your salvation and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise. Lord, deal with us, your servants, according to your steadfast love. And teach us your statutes. We are your servants and we desire…
The Seal of the Living God
Before we read the passage, I’ll give you a little bit of context. We’ll be in Revelation 7 this morning. Revelation 5 asked, who is worthy to open the scroll containing the plan and the control of history, the scroll with seven seals. No one in heaven or on earth was worthy or had authority to break the seals, save the lion of the tribe of Judah, the Lamb who…
Breaking the Seals
Revelation 6. We saw last week, the lion of Judah comes forward to take the scroll. To our great surprise, we find that the lion is a lamb, and he alone is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll. God’s redemptive plan for the world, sealed inside, is now released because of Jesus. We look to the reading of God’s word if you join with me in prayer.…
