Matt Dirks - Revelation 14: We have an ancient enemy who’s trying to peel away the disciples of Christ to worship him instead. The continual encouragement in Revelation is to endure, even when Satan makes life difficult for us. And as we’ll see in Revelation 14, we can be faithful today by remembering the harvest reward we’ll experience in the days to come.

The Triumph Is a Harvest

Matt Dirks - Revelation 13: This week we’re heading back to Revelation! Many Christians think of Revelation as some kind of Magic 8-Ball that gives cryptic answers to our burning questions about the future, but John primarily wrote the book to be a source of encouragement and challenge for us today. There are many things Christians need to endure in the world today, and John will show us the way.

The Triumph Requires Endurance

Matt Dirks - Matthew 9:9-13, Proverbs 10:9-12: When Jesus came to earth, he didn’t just build friendships and relationships. He built spiritually-significant relationships. And when we imitate Jesus, we turn the world upside down.

God Became an Influencer

John Hahn - Mathew 26:36-38, Proverbs 27:5-17: According to a recent Barna study, a majority of American Christians (56%) feel their spiritual lives are entirely private. Yet, when we read about the lives of Jesus and His disciples, we see that spiritual growth is best fostered in community. This Sunday, we’ll be encouraged to start the new year investing in friendships that are life-giving and fruitful.

God Became a Friend

Matt Dirks - Philippians 2:5-9: The story of Christmas is the story of God taking step after step down a staircase of servanthood. On Christmas Day 2000 years ago, Jesus willingly gave up his glory, privilege, and eventually his life for sinners like us.

God Became a Servant

Matt Dirks - Mark 6:3: This year, 60% of Americans report being emotionally detached at work and 19% say they are completely miserable at work. Clearly we're experiencing more of the curse of work than the blessing that God created work to be. Jesus showed us how to thrive in work that might be obscure and even menial.

God Became a Worker

Matt Dirks - Luke 2:52: Luke records a time when Jesus was a child. His family made their way to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, but Jesus was so hungry for God’s word that he stayed behind. Joseph and Mary realized he wasn’t with them, only to find him in “his Father’s house.”

God Became a Learner

Matt Dirks - Luke 2:41-51: Luke records a time when Jesus was a child. His family made their way to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, but Jesus was so hungry for God’s word that he stayed behind. Joseph and Mary realized he wasn’t with them, only to find him in “his Father’s house.”

God Became a Child

John Hahn - Revelation 12: John witnesses a cosmic battle. There’s a woman who represents God’s people and a child who is Jesus. Jesus, along with the angels defeat the Dragon who is Satan. The Dragon is thrown down to the earth, where he persecutes Christians for a period of time.

Victory Over the Dragon

Matt Dirks - Revelation 11: John is told about two witnesses who represent God’s people. They are given authority to do powerful signs, but they also experience intense persecution and death. Yet, God breathes his life to resurrect these victims for Christ and lead them into victory.

Victory for the Victims

Matt Dirks - Revelation 10: A high ranking angel gives John a little scroll to eat. John’s told to ingest the bitter-sweet message, and then proclaim it to the world.

The Victory is Proclaimed

Matt Dirks - Revelation 8-9: In these chapters, John sees the seven trumpets of judgment executed on one-third of the earth. Each judgment intensifies from the other.

Victory Through Judgement

John Hahn - Revelation 7: In this chapter, John witnesses the confident and celebratory people of God, praising Jesus for his protection during the Great Tribulation.

The Victory is Secure

Matt Dirks - Revelation 6: During turbulent times, Jesus is the one who gives us the victory.

The Victory Brings Turbulence

The Victory of the Lamb

Matt Dirks - Revelation 4: John was given supernatural sight to see heaven and symbols that described the throne room of God, where John saw angels and God’s people worshiping the Almighty One.

The Victory Of God’s Glory

Matt Dirks - Revelation 3: Jesus continues to call the church’s to repent in specific areas of their life and to see the opportunities God has placed before them.

The Victory for Sinners Part 2

John Hahn - Revelation 2

Jesus is sending a message to seven churches in Asia Minor, modern day Turkey. In these
letters he commends their strengths and addresses their weaknesses, and he also tells
them of the rewards that come with overcoming these challenges.
