S5 Ep 26Who or What is the Beast from the Sea? | Revelation 13:1-3
Satan trying to counterfeit God--it's a tale as old as time. This week, we'll begin to study in Revelation 13 and look at what the beast from the sea represents from John's vision. How does Revelation 13 tie into the prophecies of Daniel? Is there any difference between the Beast and the Dragon? And as we look at this introduction to the infamous Antichrist--the counterfeit of Christ Jesus--how do we combat all the things that set themselves up in the place of Christ in our lives today?

S5 Ep 25How to Tame a Dragon | Revelation 12:7-17
God vs Satan... it's no contest.In this week's message, we'll continue our study in Revelation 12 and get a further glimpse of the unseen war between the light and the darkness. We'll look at the common tactics of our enemy, but more importantly we'll learn the 3 things that allow us to overcome the tactics of our enemy and walk in the victory secured for us by Jesus Christ.

Baptism Sunday!
bonusSo what's the big deal with baptism? This week we put our study in Revelation on pause as we celebrate together the ordinance of baptism! But what is baptism? What are church ordinances? If we're saved by grace through faith, why do we need to participate in any ordinances as a believer in Christ? In this week's message, we'll look at all these questions and more concerning baptism.

S5 Ep 24The Woman, the Dragon, the Child | Revelation 12:1-6
Welcome back! If you're looking for a sign, this is it.This week, we will begin Revelation 12 and study a great sign in the heavens, represented by a woman, a dragon, and a child. But just who or what are these images supposed to represent? And how are we supposed to know what is a symbol and what is real? And in studying all this, what hope can we find as we battle our spiritual foe today?

S5 Ep 23Your Kingdom Come | Revelation 11:15-19
Welcome back! In this week's Bible Study, we will finish Revelation 11 and study the third woe that befalls the earth with the seventh trumpet judgment. But if a "woe" is defined as something devastating, then why is heaven rejoicing? And as we catch a glimpse of God's coming kingdom, how can we prepare now for that kingdom that is yet to come?

S5 Ep 22The Two Witnesses | Revelation 11:1-14
Welcome back! In this week's Bible Study, we will look at the beginning of Revelation 11 and learn about the two witnesses who are destined to do many great works before dying and rising again. But who are these two great end times witnesses? And what can we learn from them about how to be effective witnesses of our faith today? Hint: Witnessing isn't as much about who we are as it is wholly about who God is!

S5 Ep 21Why, God? | Revelation 10
What are you doing while you wait for Jesus to come and make things right?When will God say enough is enough? When will Jesus finally return and make things right? In this week's Bible Study, we'll study through Revelation 10, as there is a pause before the last trumpet judgment. We'll look at why God delays his return, why God doesn't have to answer all our questions, and most importantly: if God sees fit to delay his return, then what should we be doing in the meantime?

S5 Ep 20Angels of Destruction | Revelation 9:13-21
Welcome back! In this week's Bible Study, we'll continue reading from Revelation 9 and look at what woes still await a humanity ripe for judgment. Among other things, we'll look at why we pray in Jesus' name today, see whether all angels are good, and then analyze how the survivors left on earth after this last judgment will respond to all that's happened so far. And how does their response spur us on today to share the Gospel of grace with everyone while we still can?

S5 Ep 19Hell Unleashed | Revelation 9:1-12
Darkness or Light? Which do you choose?When we were last in Revelation 8, four of the seven trumpet judgments had fallen on the earth, destroying much of the natural world. The chapter ended with a heavenly messenger proclaiming woe upon the inhabitants of the earth, as the next judgments would turn away from nature and onto humanity--a humanity that has chosen time and again to cling to darkness rather than the light of God.In this week’s Bible study, we return to Revelation 9 and look at the fifth trumpet judgment. We'll see what happens when God allows the gates of hell to be opened and its inhabitants released upon the earth. Who is the one called a fallen star? Who are the demons locked in the abyss? And how do these horrible judgments actually show our God of mercy still calling for a rebellious humanity to turn from the darkness to the One who is called the Light of men?

A Good Model | Luke 15:11-32
bonusHappy Father's Day! What do a sheep, a coin, and a son have in common? In Luke 15, Jesus is confronted by the religious leaders for eating with sinners. In response Jesus tells three parables, one about a lost sheep, one about a lost coin, and one about a lost son. And illustrated in the details of this third parable, we learn of the heart of God the Father for a lost world. In this week’s Bible study, we take a break from Revelation to give a message of encouragement to fathers in honor of Father’s Day. By digging into the famous Parable of the Lost Son, we’ll learn four characteristics of our Heavenly Father that are examples to anyone who finds himself as a father or father figure in this life. What does God teach us about fatherhood? What does fatherhood teach us about God?

S5 Ep 18Trumpets of Woe | Revelation 8
Welcome back! The pause before the opening of the seventh seal has ended and John's prophetic vision of the coming wrath continues. And as the last seal is opened, all of heaven seems to hold its breath in anticipation of the cataclysms to follow. When the seven trumpet judgements begin, a third of the earth will be destroyed. In this week's Bible Study, we will study through the next phase of John's prophecy from Revelation 8. We'll learn the different ways God answers prayer and the significance of trumpets in God's calendar of history. As we see the earth begin to perish and remember the words of Jesus--that heaven and earth will pass away, but His words never will--we should ask ourselves whether our hope is in the creation or the Creator.

S5 Ep 17Who is Able to Stand? | Revelation 7
Welcome back! This week, we will take a look at Revelation 7 and learn about two groups of people who are able to stand when God pours out His wrath. We'll look at who the 144,000 are who will receive the seal of God, learn about the importance of the nation of Israel in this prophetic book, and ask the most important question of all: what do we learn about Jesus in this passage?

S5 Ep 16Shaking Things Up | Revelation 6:9-17

S5 Ep 15The Four Horsemen Ride! | Revelation 6:1-8
Welcome back! Last week, the Lamb of God was found worthy to take the scroll and all of heaven lifted up their praises to the Lord. And now this week, Jesus begins the process of breaking the seals on the scroll and many tribulations begin on the earth.
