Purpose of Studying Revelation Read Revelation 1:1-3 – we are blessed by simply reading the words in this book. No other book in the Bible offers such a direct command.We want to study Revelation right. The “right” way to study it isn’t to gain a great depth of knowledge or to have thoughtful theological insights. We study rightly when we choose to engage the God of eternity with His own scriptures and come to know Him better, to e...
Introduction – we should study Revelation, and every book of Scripture, not to gain more information, but to know God more. We should read and study and engage so that we will grow closer to God. In the process, we’ll gain knowledge, but that should never be our primary aim in studying the Bible. No matter how you choose to interpret Revelation, even if it is different from me, you should grow in your love for God. You should feel ...
To gain a perspective on where these churches were geographically, look up a map on Google. They’re pretty easy to come by if you search for 7 churches of revelation maps For each church, we’ll look at some background information, Jesus’ greeting to them, the positives Jesus has to say about each place, the negatives, and then we’ll look at the promises He makes to each church. Ephesus Background Ancient Greek city in Western Turke...
In Revelation chapters 4 and 5, we transition from the message of the seven churches to the heavenly realm. John is whisked away into the presence of God, and he begins to see things that will forever change history. This place has been described by Isaiah, Ezekiel and Paul, but no one gives us so detailed a tour as John. God is pulling back the veil of heaven for we believers to be able to peer into eternity. This is […]
In Revelation five, we saw God give Jesus the scroll with seven seals holding it closed. Now we will watch as Jesus pulls apart the scroll one seal at a time. First Seal John must look Jesus is the one who gives authority to this conquerer Much debate over the identity of this conquerer because of his white horse Seals 1-4 are four aspects of this conquerer This is the antichrist Second Seal Now the conquerer makes use of his […]
Week 5: Revelation 8-9 In chapter 8, we are immediately whisked back into the midst of the seal judgments as the seventh and final seal is opened. The final seal is what has held back the opening of the scroll that God the Father gave to Jesus, and as we see it opened, we will now hear trumpet blasts announce the judgments written within it. Seventh Seal Silence in heaven for 30 minutes: what does that look like? Holy moment […]
Last time we ended with the blowing of the sixth trumpet, and now we will take another break from the action to be given more background information. This is the second parenthetical section of Revelation and it will set up the majesty that is the seventh trumpet. This section of Revelation will show us that God fully intends to speak to His people prophetically during the tribulation period. God will not leave His people in the da...
Last week we talked about how God is going to provide prophetic revelation and guidance during the time of the great tribulation. This week we get into the meat of Revelation’s symbolism and grit. There is are too many symbols to go through during a podcast, but they are dealt with at length in the book, Revelation: a 10 Week Bible Study. I encourage you to get the book and go through it as you read Revelation. Instead, here I […]
We ended chapter 14 on a very sobering note. We are told that there is coming a “winepress of God’s wrath.” Chapters 15-16 will show us a little of what is to come, because we now enter the fullness of God’s wrath against those on earth who have rejected His Son and persecuted and killed His beloved bride. The Chorus of Heaven We need to pay attention when heaven erupts into song God is JUST in all that He does […]
Up until now, things in Revelation have just happened with little explanation of why. Through some context we have been able to pick up that God is judging only the wicked of the earth, but we are still left with more questions than answers. The next section of Revelation gives us the why behind what has been going on before the tribulation began. The why is Babylon The Harlot & The Beast John sees a vision of the harlot. This ...
The Great Transition & Eternity Chapters 19-22 cover a lot of ground, but there are two major things going on here. Jesus Himself is on earth to put an end to the wickedness and transition earth into His eternal kingdom. The End Jesus now meets the armies of the Antichrist in Jerusalem Casts the antichrist and false prophet into the lake of fire (hell) Personally kills all the rest of the rebellious army & allies Buzzards w...
An Introduction to the book of Acts Acts is an important book for any Christian to study because it is the story of how and why we are called Christians. It tells the story of the journey the apostles and the church took from Jesus’ ascension to the church age and moving forward. You might be surprised by a lot of the things you’ve probably overlooked in Acts, and that’s where this podcast comes in. In today’s podcast, we’ll discus...
Week 1: Acts 1-2 Acts is one of the most important book for every Christian to spend time studying. It is the foundation for our faith, in that it tells us of the transitional period from when Jesus taught a Jewish audience to the time when Gentiles were openly welcomed as part of the people of God. As we will see in chapters 1-2, God is going to begin to radically move and transform His chosen people in dramatic ways. If […]
Week21: Acts 3-5 Picking up in Acts 3, we find that the apostles have set into a routine of prayer. God is going to miraculously interrupt that routine which will change the methods of the church from here on out. If you haven’t already, don’t forget to purchase your copy of Acts: A 10 Week Bible Study on Amazon today. In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss: Normal Life – the power of routine The Miracle Peter’s Second Sermon The Respon...
Week 3: Acts 6-8 Starting in Acts 6, we will begin to see a dramatic shift in the life of the church. The methods that the apostles and the church begin to use to administer the responsibilities Jesus gave them will begin to take shape, leading to a dramatic acceleration of the Kingdom of God. In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss: Disciples were increasing Hellenistic Jews – Jews by birth and religion born outside of Israel The Acts 6...
Week 4: Acts 9-11 In Acts 9, we begin an intentional shift towards the story of Paul and his life. This is not because Paul is the most important New Testament character, but because our author, Luke, as we will find out later spent years traveling with him and is an eye-witness to many of the things later in the book. In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss: Story Begins to shift toward Saul (Paul) Saul’s conversion Suffer for My name? ...
Week 5: Acts 12-14 We now begin to follow Paul on his first missionary journey and discover just how true it was when God said to Paul he would suffer for His name. Find out why this week in the 10 Week Bible Study Podcast! In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss: James’ death: a reminder of Jesus’ words in John 15 Peter’s arrest and strangely large guard Peter’s release from prison: completely different from James Herod’s strange death ...
Week 6: Acts 15-17 Acts 15 begins with controversy. Paul and Barnabas find all their work from their missionary journey under scrutiny for its validity because men from Judea say that Gentiles must be circumcised to be Christians. This leads to the Council of Jerusalem and the greatest change and blessing in world history, especially if you’re a Gentile! In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss: The controversy over circumcision (followin...
Week 7: Acts 18-20 Acts 18-20 cover some of the most fruitful time in Paul’s ministry during the book of Acts. There is so much good stuff to learn from this week, so I hope you’ll dig into the Word of God with me! In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss: We get the phrase “tentmaker” from Acts 18 We discover that Paul is bi-vocational to some extent Devoted himself full-time to preaching when help arrived Paul shook the dust off his […]
Week 8: Acts 21-23 Things are going to begin to get difficult for Paul from here on out, but some of the most amazing things will also happen to him. You’ll want to follow along to find out! In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss: Luke begins Acts 21 with some interesting details: sailing courses – travel begins to get more difficult for Paul and crew Philip’s house must have been a hotbed for prophetic activity We meet Agabus again – w...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
