In our last visit we looked at some of what the book of Revelation had to say about heaven.  Today, let’s look at what it says about hell. Hell is a place God prepared for the Devil and the angels that followed him in rebelling against God.  In Revelation ...

In our last visit I encouraged you to receive God’s gift of eternal life offered to us through Jesus Christ. He is God’s love gift to us, and when we receive Him as our Savior by faith, eternal life that resides in Him, becomes ours.  Eternal life starts r...

As we’ve reflected on the various names and descriptions of Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation it’s clear He is depicted as having received the answer to His prayer in John 17:5, “Now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you b...

In our last visit we studied what I called the Cosmic Christmas story found in Revelation 12.  You’ll recall when Jesus was born there were wise men from the east who discerned that a king had been born and they came to do homage to him. Looking at the Chr...

Chapter 12 is a fascinating interlude in the description of events during the tribulation.  You have a pregnant woman who cries out in pain, as she is about to give birth.  Then an enormous red dragon confronts the woman intending to devour her child the m...

The book of Revelation is filled with statements of faith as well as declarations of judgment, followed by the actual dreadful judgments.  There is social upheaval beyond description.  The suffering of people and the significant loss everyone experiences d...

In our last study we were looking at the power of the blood of the Lamb which enables us to overcome the Devil.  Who is this Devil?  In Revelation 12:9 it describes him as the great dragon, that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the who...

In our study of the Lamb there were three verses in the book of Revelation that made reference to the blood of the Lamb. In 5:9 the heavenly chorus declares, “You are worthy…because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God.”  Then in 7...

In our last visit we began a study of the references to the Lamb of God in the book of Revelation.  We considered the sacrifice, sovereignty and marriage supper of the Lamb.  Now let’s look at the splendor of the Lamb. This is seen in many places, but most...

As we read on in Revelation, we find Jesus Christ referred to as “The Lamb” in chapter 5 verse 6.  This title would be familiar to Jewish believers because of the many references to lambs being sacrificed in their religious worship. Isaiah prophetically id...

We’ve been looking at how Jesus identifies Himself in the letters to the seven churches of Revelation 2 and 3.  In Chapter 3:14 He is “the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.”  “Ame...

Today let’s look at Christ’s titles as related to the church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3:7-13.  He is the holy and true one who holds the key of David.  When the angel announced the birth of Christ to Mary he said, “The Holy...

The focal point of the Book of Revelation is Jesus Christ.  In our previous studies we’ve looked at the various titles and descriptions of Jesus as found in the book of Revelation.  To each church mentioned in chapters two and three He reve...

In our study of the various descriptions of Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation you’ll find He is very much a part of what is going on in the church and her various local expressions.  He is seen in Chapter 2 verse 1 as the One “who hol...

When John saw the glorified Christ, as described in Revelation 1:13-16, it says in verse 17 he fell at his feet as though dead. That’s not surprising when you understand something of the glorious majesty and awesome splendor of Christ glorified....

Let me read a few verses from Revelation 1:13-16: “Someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.  His head and hair were white, like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like...

In our last visit we began looking at the various titles and descriptions given to Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation.  Let’s continue by looking at chapter 1:5-6.  It says that Jesus loves us.  “Loved,” in the original...

As you read through the last book of the Bible, Revelation, look for every reference to Jesus Christ.  Ask God for a deeper spiritual insight into the person of Jesus Christ.  In chapter 1 verse 5 He is referred to, along with the Father and the ...

The last book of the Bible is best identified by the opening words, “The revelation of Jesus Christ.”  If you find the book hard to understand let me encourage you to primarily look for the various names and descriptions given to Jesus Chr...

As we concluded our last program I pointed out that understanding the Scriptures was foundational to the disciples experiencing all they would need to accomplish their mission.  Acts, chapter one, amplifies the final days of Jesus’ time with the...

In recent visits we’ve seen the two Emmaus disciples, described in Luke 24, move from disillusionment and despair to discovery and inexpressible delight as Jesus, “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets…explained to them what was said...

In our last few visits we’ve reflected on Luke 24:13-35.  We saw the two Emmaus disciples move from disillusionment and despair to discovery and inexpressible delight.  After Jesus explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures conce...

In our last visit, reflecting on Luke 24:13-32, we found that too often what we read from the prophets or hear from God’s servants we process through the grid of our own priorities and hopes.  Our distorted expectations rob us of the beauty and ...

In our study of the ways Jesus communicated we’ve already noted that He often referred to the Scriptures and quoted from them.  One of the clearest examples of this is found in Luke 24.  On the day of His resurrection two of His followers w...

One thing you could always count on when Jesus communicated, what He said was always consistent with what is said in the Bible.  If He didn’t directly quote a scripture, He articulated what it revealed and meant.  He lived out what is said ...
