Key Verse: Mark 13:35-37
35 Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows,[c] or in the morning— 36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.

Many Christians today struggle with living balanced Christian lives. How do we live out our daily lives while still anticipating Christ’s return? This challenge isn’t new to our generation. In fact, the apostle Paul addressed similar struggles with those in the early church in 1st and 2nd Thessalonians.
Finding balance between living for today and anticipating Christ’s return isn’t always easy. However, by following Pa...

Key Point
Followers of the Lamb must act as faithful witnesses, confronting evil by boldly sharing their testimony about Jesus. They might have to give up their lives for this cause. Yet, the greatest reward awaits us when He returns, and we'll sing about victory in Jesus.

More than anything else the Lamb wants people to love God and love each other. Some refuse to do so by:
- Rejecting God or having a hard heart towards him
- Committing idolatry by putting things in the place of God
- Persecuting followers of the Lamb
- Powerful people oppressing weaker people
- Those who are blessed who don't help the poor
- Religious leaders who help themselves but lead people astray
- Putting barriers betwe...
In Chapter 6 the people of the earth all asked a question about who can stand when the wrath of the God and the Lamb comes. The answer is in chapter 7 when we are told that those who follow the Lamb will be able to stand in his presence and receive his spiritual protection. Join me and my friend Amos Jones as we discuss this topic.

Key Point
The ironic message of Revelation is that a slain Lamb defeats a dragon. He conquers sin and brings eternal life to a fallen world. He alone is worthy to take the scroll of God’s will and carry out its directives because he was slain and with his blood purchased for God people from every tribe and language and people and nation.

John the Baptist Announces the Lamb of God Has Arrived
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Then John gave this ...
Who is the Son of Man? The Son of Man is the term Jesus used to describe himself time and again throughout his time on earth. Why did he call himself this? As always, the answer is in the scriptural roots throughout the Bible.
What does the Son of Man expect from us?
- Love God and love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:30-31). Are we loving, merciful, and forgiving of others? (Hosea 6:4-6, Matt...
Key Point
God the Father’s will is to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ (Ephesians 1:3-10). Jesus, The Alpha and the Omega, will unify all things in heaven and on earth under himself so he can restore them back to the Father.

Key Points
1) God loves us and wants us to live in His presence eternally in a new holy city, the new Jerusalem. It will be within a New Heaven and New Earth.
2) God cannot and will not be around sin. This means that the city, the the New Heaven, the New Earth, and all of its inhabitants must also be made holy.
3) God sent his one and only Son to be a sacrifice to pay the penalty for sin for those who follow Him and fo...
This year our walk through Revelation will focus on the cast of characters. The very first character we encounter is the most important one of all, God. You may be thinking “the title of the podcast referenced the trinity and you are now saying we are talking about God?” That’s true. The Bible doesn’t use the term trinity. Many times it just says God. It will speak about The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit indiv...

What should we do while we wait for Jesus to come back?
Main Verse: Revelation 22:17-20
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this bo...
023- Worship God
Main Question
God made us to worship Him and Him alone. Are we worshipping anything instead of, or along side, Him?
Main Verse: Revelation 22:8-9
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets,...
Main Question
Main Verse: Revelation 22:1-5
All throughout the Bible, we see garden imagery that show that God is the source of all life. In Episode 20 we discussed that the River of the Water of Life flows directly from God’s throne and is full of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit infused river waters the Tree of Life. Because of this, every atom, every cell, every leaf, and all the fruit of the tree is bursting with life. The branches have leaves that heal the rela...
