The Final Battle and Judgment

Today we look at Revelation 19:11-15, the final battle against evil and judgment of evildoers.

Unity, Diversity, and Maturity: Becoming the Body of Christ

Rev. Grant Hofman preaches on Ephesians 4:1-16.

Rome Falls

Today’s chapters zoom us in and they get very specific about the Empire with which the early Christians had to deal and what will happen to that Empire. The 7 points about Empire that were mentioned in the sermon are available here to read.

Seals and Trumpets

Today we are looking at chapters 6-11, taking an overall view, then zooming in on chapter 7. We did look at a video which summarizes these chapters in visual form. You can find that video here.

Do Not Weep

Today we look at Revelation 5: we see the slain Lamb as the One who will rescue the world, not the "right-handed" power of the Empire.

Life Together as God's Image-Bearers

Today's sermon is by Rick Jonsen on Leviticus 25:8-28, on the Year of Jubilee.

The Central Vision

Today we come to Revelation 4, that central vision of worship before God's throne. We wove a part of the sermon into the beginning of the service, which has been added to the front of the sermon. Also, the song by Bob Dylan, "Gotta Serve Somebody", which formed the prelude for the sermon, is here also. Feel free to skip the song if you want, but we'd suggest you listen to it and let the choice it presents so clearly sink in.

Behind the Beast

Today we look at Revelation 12. Last week we saw the two beasts of empire and propaganda. Now we will see what Revelation tells us about the story behind the story - the cosmic struggle behind the earthly political power struggles. Hopefully we will be conforted and emboldened.

The Beast: Power and Propaganda

We look today at Revelation 13: the two beasts that form the central image of Revelation. When we understand what these are, we can understand the rest of the book.

The Beginning and the End

Today we start a new series for the fall of 2018 on the book of Revelation. Not as a map about when and how the world will end.
Rather, we will read it as a “prophetic critique of imperial idolatry (civil religion) and injustice (military, economic, political and religious oppression), and specifically Rome’s imperial idolatry and injustice.” We will explore how in our time we should wrestle with “matters of allegiance, idolatry, violence, witness and worship.”
