The Gift

12/22/13 Listen to, "The Gift" by Randy Reynolds

Have you ever thought about why we give gifts and why we get gifts? Have you ever thought about the best gift you've ever received?

Please join us this Sunday as we discuss The Gift-- the most important one, the best one, our gift from above. As we enter into the Christmas season, hopefully we will get some new insights into the depth and true meaning of this gift.

Revelation For Beginners: Revelation 10-11

Watch, "Revelation for Beginners" by Greg Sidders
 

If you had a choice between a jigsaw puzzle with 100 pieces and one with 1,000, which would you choose?

 

Me, I'm a 100-piece guy. I prefer simplicity to complexity. Which may be why I'm not naturally drawn to the Book of Revelation. The level of difficulty is just too high. But as we tackle one of the most perplexing sections of the book (chapters 10 and 11), we're going to see that we don't have to put every piece in place to see the big picture. Even if you are prophetically challenged, you will be transformed by the simple truth popping out of this complex puzzle.

The American Dream: Revelation 6

Watch, "The American Dream: Revelation 6" by Greg Sidders

Most of us, despite the trials we have endured, would say that we are living the American dream. We live in nice homes in safe neighborhoods in the most prosperous county of a beautiful state.

That's why reading Revelation 6 is like watching a horror flick. It's so frighteningly worse than real life that your only relief is to remember it's fiction. 

But in this case, it's not.  It's a vision of what really will happen in our world between now and The End. And watching the footage, as surreal and scary as it is, will help you to live happily ever after.

God's Loving Wrath: Revelation 8-9

"God's Loving Wrath: Revelation 8-9" by Greg Sidders

You've been praying for them for years, maybe decades, but they seem further away from God than ever before. And you know, because the Book of Revelation says it clearly and repeatedly, that time is running out.

What if God's wrath comes before they turn to Christ? Will they still have hope? Or will the deadline have passed? Exactly when will God's patience give way to punishment?
It's a critical question. In this message we'll get a clear answer.

Fear Factor: Revelation 7

On Earth as in Heaven: Revelation 4-5

Watch, "On Earth as in Heaven: Revelation 4-5" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 10-27-13

Does worship really matter? Does it matter whether we do it? Does it matter how we do it?

If you're someone who gets to church early and sings your heart out and thinks about how great it's going to be in heaven where we'll never stop worshiping, such questions sound almost blasphemous, but chances are there are people you know who are unmoved by worship as you are edified by it. To them, these are sincere questions.
In this message we'll find answers in an unconventional way: By taking a peak into heaven, to see how they worship up there.

Just Do It: Revelation 2-3

Watch, "Just Do It: Revelation 2-3 by Greg Sidders, Sunday 10-20-13

Have you ever pursued a goal that turned out to be so much harder to achieve than you anticipated that relief became more attractive than success?

I think there are times in the life of every Christian when that happens. We set out to follow Jesus faithfully for a lifetime, but then we encounter fierce resistance. What keeps us going during times like that? A clear vision of the rewards of perseverance! 

That's what Jesus will give us in the verses we will be studying in this message. From the other side of the finish line, He will remind us of what we have to look forward to if we overcome the temptation to quit too soon.  I hope you'll listen, especially if you need a second wind.
