This message is a simple, understandable and biblical picture of heaven. There is a lot of misunderstanding about heaven. Some people think you get there because you are good.

Join Pastor Ritchie Miller as he teaches from Revelation about what heaven will be like.

Jesus will return! This belief is foundational to Christianity. Speaking from the Book of Revelation, Pastor Ritchie Miller asks the all-important question, “Are you ready?”

Today Pastor Ritchie gives an overview of the part of Revelation that scares lots of people. It should not scare us because the judgments we find in chapters 6-19 describe the final victory of Jesus over sin.

One of life’s great questions is, “Why am I here?” Revelation chapter five takes place in the throne room of heaven. It shows us the big “why” of our lives. Why do we exist? Why do we worship Jesus? How can we navigate life’s trials? What is my place in the universe? Today Pastor Ritchie teaches why Jesus is worthy to exist at the center of everything in our lives.

Everyone worships something or someone. We either worship the Creator, the creature, or the creation. God designed us to worship him. We are incomplete without a personal allegiance to God and an intimate worship of God. Today Pastor Ritchie Miller teaches from Revelation chapter four what Jesus said about worshipping God.

In the famous passage of scripture in Revelation, Jesus confronted the Church at Laodicea for being neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm. There is a great misunderstanding about what that means. Jesus invited everyone in this church to open the door of their hearts to him and he would feed them and fellowship with them. Today, Pastor Ritchie Miller teaches how Jesus challenges us to live authentic and transformed lives.

What does it mean when someone says that God opens a door? We have all heard the cliché, “When one door closes, another one opens.” In Revelation chapter three Jesus said that he alone has the power to open and close doors. But the door He was talking about was much bigger than an opportunity that comes our way.

Have you ever felt a spirit of oppression? Are there times you feel like quitting? Are you ever tempted to do less at church, or do you ever feel like you are burning out? Are you ever tempted to compromise your integrity? Join us at Still Waters Church as Pastor Ritchie Miller teaches from the Book of Revelation about what Jesus told Christians who faced these kinds of challenges.

There is a great temptation to approach life as a culture war. The Bible uses imagery of soldiers in a war to describe the Christian life. But Ephesians tells us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers of darkness and the evils of the unseen world. Therefore, we must put on the armor of God. That is our goal at Still Waters Church. We don’t want to create culture warriors but spiritual warriors.

Sometimes life does not turn out like we expected. During these times of trials and troubles it can be difficult to follow God’s plan and to see his grace. In Revelation 2 Jesus told the church at Smyrna that they would experience great tribulation – even death – but that they could trust him. How do you trust God when it seems like he is distant and does not care?

If you have been a Christian for very long, you know what it means to lose your first love. We fight a loss of passion from time to time for varying reasons. We must work on our relationship with Jesus just like we must work on our human relationships. What does it mean to love Jesus? What did Jesus mean when he warned of losing your first love? What does every Christian and every church struggle to do? What does it mean to be light? Let's find out!

Join Pastor Ritchie Miller as he unpacks this parable of Jesus and helps us to learn how to set priorities that matter for eternity.
