Sadly, we live in a world where there are a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing. These wolves want to devour the sheep rather than serve and love them. How can we keep from being devoured by these wolves? In this message, we examine some of the elements of a wolf from 2 Peter 2 so that we might keep from being exploited by them.

God’s not just calling us to read His Word—He’s inviting us to see Jesus in it until His life comes alive within us.

Is there a limit to what you’ll do for God? Are you willing to obey whatever He says to see your miracle? Just like the waiter who filled the jars at Jesus’ command, we can trust Him to take the ordinary in our lives and turn it into something extraordinary.

God has fixed a day in which He will judge the world. In this message, Pastor Brian expounds Revelation 20:11-15 to consider the Judge, the Dead, the Books, and the Judgment of that great day.

In this vision we see that Satan has been bound in terms of being able to deceive the nations like he did before Christ came into the world. Since Christ's first coming, the church is able to take the gospel into all the world and see some from all the nations of the world bow their feet to Jesus Christ.

What is the marriage supper of the Lamb and when does it take place? In this message, Pastor Brian seeks help from the parable of Jesus in Mt. 22:1-14 to provide answers to this great question. [youtube id="4_-L12XVdVo"] The post The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb first appeared on The Bridge.

In Revelation 18 and 19:1-6 we see how different people react to the destruction of Babylon, which Pastor Brian believes to represent Jerusalem. The Earth (kings, merchants, and mariners) lament its doom because it will mean the end of their riches. However, Heaven rejoices, and the inhabitants of heaven worship God because His judgments are true and righteous.

In this chapter the Lord shows us a full description of the great harlot and a history of the beast on whom she rides.

Who is Babylon, the Great Harlot of Revelation 17 & 18? That is precisely the question we seek to answer in this teaching. After surveying the popular opinions on the matter, Brian shows why he leans toward the idea that the Great Harlot is Jerusalem who will be judged and destroyed in 70 A.D.

How are Christian husbands and wives to relate to one another Biblically?

Satan mimics God. God is a holy trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Satan has formed an unholy trinity - The dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. In today's message we look closely at the False Prophet and see that Satan uses lies, deception, false religion, and lying miracles to bring people unknowingly to align with Satan in his purposes.

What does Satan use to make war on and persecute the church? He uses two different Beasts. In Revelation 13:1-10, we see Satan summon the first Beast from the Sea. This Beast is governmental systems that persecute the church and seek to coerce them into submission to the State rather than to Christ.

Christ has conquered Satan and has cast him out of heaven where he was the accuser of the brethren. In this message we discuss the three aspects of the Christian's ability to overcome Satan: he trusts in the blood of the Lamb, he proclaims the gospel of Christ, and he doesn't love his life when faced with death.

In this sermon, we continue looking at the Shield of Faith from Ephesians 6:16, reminding us that spiritual battles aren’t won by human strength but through God’s power. Brother Jerome shows how Paul’s unwavering faith in Christ helped him push through hardships, while Peter encouraged early Christians to stay strong by keeping their focus on Christ’s return. Faith acts like a shield, protecting us from the enemy’s lies and giving us the endurance to stand firm. Just like gold is refined in fire, trials strengthen and purify our faith, preparing us for the glory that’s coming. When we trust in God’s promises, we can stand firm, knowing our faith will be rewarded. [youtube id="ND7Nu6jMNz0"] The post The Shield of Faith – Pt 2 first appeared on The Bridge.

Faith isn’t just belief—it’s our shield against the enemy’s attacks. Paul’s words remind us that a strong relationship with Christ empowers us to stand firm, even in the fiercest battles.

In upcoming sessions, we’ll dive deeper into spiritual armor and how each piece equips us to walk boldly in faith—stay tuned!

John's vision of the two witnesses that seemed to be invincible, ends with them killed by the beast. However, after 3 1/2 days they are raised from dead and called up to meet the Lord in the air. The meaning is probably that the church will be able to propagate the gospel throughout the world, but when their work is finished, the antichristian world powers will persecute the church and silence it by driving it underground. However, God will have the last say by vindicating the church, raising it from the dead and rapturing it at the second coming of Christ.

Revelation 11 depicts the history of the Church during the Church Age as 2 witnesses, the temple of God, two lampstands, and two olive trees.

In chapter 10 we see a transition from the main message of Revelation concerning God's judgment on Israel and Jerusalem, to His work throughout the Church Age.

How can we meditate on scripture? It starts with a desire to know God more. Next, we read scripture regularly, as well as memorize it. Thirdly, we can spend an equal amount of time thinking about scripture as we spent reading it. For example, if we spend 10 minutes reading, we can spend an additional 10 minutes going over it again, repeating it in our head and thinking about it, allowing the meaning to become apparent to us.
