Why Jesus Came

(Revelation 4:7) Angels around God's throne reflect the glory of the One they serve. Each image tells us more about God. The Lord loves to teach through symbolism and in this study we see four pictures that serve one purpose. 

(Revelation 4:2-6) A throne is just a piece of furniture without an occupant. Our God is King and He has not abdicated His throne. Journey with John today and take a good look at the throne and the One sitting on it.

(Revelation 4:2-5) There are some breathtaking views that are hard to forget. John saw a view unlike any other when he was ushered into the throneroom of God in heaven! Take a look for yourself...

(Revelation 4:1-2) Is this the end of the world? How is it all going to end? Christians must remember that God doesn't lead to endings, He brings His people to new beginnings! This is what we are looking forward to...

(Revelation 1:12-13; 2:1) At this moment the Lord Jesus Christ is walking in and working on His churches. Only He can trim the candlesticks to make them give more light in a dark world. Today we ask Him to be thorough with us.

(Revelation 3:14-22) In so many ways the church at Laodicea pictures the church in the last days. There are three things that God says must be open to Him. When we get wide open to the Lord then He brings the greatest blessings.

(Revelation 3:7-13) My favorite church in Revelation is the church at Philadelphia. They were not a perfect church (there is no such thing!) but they were faithful to what God gave them to do. These believers are a pattern for us all.

(Revelation 3:1-6) There is a difference between having a good reputation with people and having a good testimony with God. We are not what we say we are or what others think we are - we are what God knows us to be. Study the church at Sardis and you will see that your name matters.

(Revelation 2:18-29) Someone sets the agenda in every church. Unfortunately, a woman in Thyatira began to teach and lead people away from the truth of Christ. She had the rebellious spirit of Jezebel and tried to take the place that is reserved for Jesus.

(Revelation 2:12-17) Where in the world was Pergamos? Today's study answers that question and deals with the bigger issue. This church's problem was not the world around it but that the world had crept into it. We are in a wicked world but the world is not to be in the church!

(Revelation 2:8-11) Fear is a powerful enemy. It can paralyze the strongest believers and keep them from fulfilling their calling. Christ's message to the church in Smyrna will strengthen your faith and help conquer your fears.

(Revelation 2:1-7) Two letters were written to the church at Ephesus. Both emphasize one truth: we must stay in love with the Lord if we are to make a difference. Churches should not be distinguished by what they hate but by who they love.

(Revelation 2-3) We live in a world of people looking for an escape. In a make-believe generation, God always deals with reality. We are real people, in a real world, with real needs. God always deals with us right where we are!

(Revelation 1:19) All of Revelation can be divided into three definite parts that God outlined on the first page of the book. These are the three things God wanted to be written...and three things God wants us to read and understand.

(Revelation 1:13-18) The beloved disciple had seen Christ in many different settings but he had never seen anything as he did in Revelation. Today we get a fresh glimpse of the Lord's glory as John describes what He saw.

(Revelation 1:11-13, 16, 20) There is both a mystery and clarity in the God of the Bible. God reveals a mystery -a sacred secret- through pictures. In this study, we see 7 candlesticks, 7 stars, and 1 Christ...

(Revelation 1:9-10; 10:11) Patmos was no vacation spot! This rocky island and the rugged environment was a prison, but John was not bound by his circumstances and neither are you. Patmos is not the end of the story.

(Revelation 1:9-10) John was the last of the original disciples. When everyone was gone and everything seemed to be against him he was still following His Lord. Will you be a disciple who lasts?

(Revelation 1:7-8) Our Lord Jesus is the first and the last, and everything in between. Two things are sure: Christ is all and He is all that you need. We will see Him soon - look to Him today!

(Revelation 1:4-6) Every story has main characters. In this study, we identify the main characters of Revelation - and you are one of them! Let's get acquainted.

(Revelation 1:3) If any generation of Christians should be passionate about studying God's Word it should be those who are living on the brink of His return! God promises a special blessing to those who give attention to the Scriptures and you can have it now.

(Revelation 1:1-2) In the final book of the Bible God takes the veil away and shows us, Christ, in His exalted, eternal glory. We are not looking for events. We are not looking for the evil one to arise. We are looking for Jesus Christ to appear! Take a look behind the curtain...

(Revelation 1:1, 5) The greatest event on earth is not trending on social media or being discussed on news outlets. Yet the whole world is moving toward this great moment: The King is Coming! Welcome to the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

Throughout Scripture those who have made a difference for Christ are those who have carried a burden for souls. Keep praying and believing God for the salvation of the lost. Witness in faith and pray on!

The gospel is advanced through praying people. Pray these three definite things and expect to see the Lord at work!
