    Jesus Wins | Revelation 19:11–21 | The Return of the King

    Revelation is not just a book about the future. It's pulling back the curtain on the present moment, using wild apocalyptic biblical imagery to show you that Jesus is on the throne now and that he will come back to make all things right. In this sermon on Revelation 19:11–21, Pastor Trey Hayman walks through the second coming of Jesus and the central message of the whole book of Revelation: Jesus wins. He has won, he is winning, and he will win. What does Jesus win? What does it mean that his sword comes from his mouth and not his hand? Why is his robe dipped in blood before the battle even begins? And what does any of this have to do with the lies we believe about ourselves today? This sermon was preached at New City Church in Nashville, TN. Learn more at newcitynash.com. Key themes: A heavy dreamRevelation as imagination, not just informationWhat does Jesus win? Justice, the human heart, new creationThe unholy trinity and the warning against cultural ChristianityHow Jesus wins — not by a sword in his hand, but by a word from his mouthWhen Jesus won the final battle (and why his robe is already dipped in blood)How we also win: lampstands, not lampsWhy Jesus wins: because of who he is#Revelation19 #JesusWins #SecondComing #KingOfKings #LordOfLords #NewCityChurch #Nashville #Sermon #ReturnOfChrist

    God's Judgment Is True and Just (The Seven Bowls) | Revelation 15–16 Sermon

    In a world where AI blurs reality, where innocent people sit in prison, where survivors don't get believed — how do we know what's true? In Revelation 15–16, the seven bowls bring God's wrath to completion, and we're forced to ask: is God's judgment true? Is it just? Pastor Trey Hayman walks through the third set of judgments in Revelation and lands at the cross — where the wrath of God and the love of God are poured out in perfect harmony. 📖 Scripture Revelation 15–16 (NLT) • Revelation 21:22–27 • Isaiah 40:3–5 • Isaiah 51:17, 22 • Exodus 14:13–14 ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 — "They call OCD a doubting disorder" 3:30 — How do we know what's real?

    Kicking the Hell Out of Earth (Revelation 14-15:4)

    It's not hard to look at the world and see the smoke billowing. Genocide. Trafficking. Slavery. Loneliness. The common question rises up: why would a good God allow suffering? And why doesn't he do something? In this message on Revelation 14-15:4, Pastor Trey Hayman of New City Church in Nashville walks through one of the heaviest, most vivid passages in the New Testament—and shows that it's not actually centered on the darkness, but on the light of Jesus and what he has done. The way of the beast promises life and rest but ends up perpetuating the same longing it says it will fix. The way of the Lamb may look like dying, but it's the way of those who truly live. Every person belongs to someone. Every person is marked. The question is: by who? God's plan isn't just to get you out of earth into heaven so you don't go to hell. It's to kick the hell out of earth and reconcile creation to himself. It's to bring heaven to earth And the picture in Revelation 14 of the winepress trampled outside the city points us right to where Jesus was crucified—outside the city—shedding blood enough for all who would enter. Justice will win. Because Jesus wins. newcitynash.com Resources: Skeletons in God's Closet by Joshua Butler (source of the title of this message) The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis

    You're Not a Human Doing, You're a Human Being Loved by God | 1 Corinthians 13 Sermon

    1 Corinthians 13 is often read at weddings, but it isn't ultimately about weddings. Paul is writing in the context of spiritual gifts, and he says if you can do all the things that you really want to do and even that are valuable and good, but you don't have love, you're missing it. This sermon walks through 1 Corinthians 13 line by line. Love isn't ultimately first about us. It's about God. First John says God is love, and we love because he first loved us. Even if you don't get the thing you really want, if you have him, you're okay. You're secure. You're not a human doing. You're a human being who's loved by God. When Paul lists what love is not, he's very specifically calling out things he's already critiqued the Corinthian church for. Almost all eight. Love is not envious. Love is not boastful. Love is not puffed up. He's saying what you're doing is not love, no matter how much you're trying to sanitize it and call it love. Three things will last forever. Faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love. From New City Church in Nashville, TN. We are people of presence for the good of our neighbors and the glory of God. Learn more at newcitynash.com.

    Come to Me: Finding Rest in the Heart of Jesus | Matthew 11: 28-30

    What if the thing you're most tired of carrying is exactly what Jesus is asking you to bring him? In this message, Pastor Trey Hayman celebrates New City Church's 5-year anniversary by returning to Matthew 11:25-30, an incredibly tender invitation from Jesus. Across 89 chapters of the Gospels, this is the only place Jesus explicitly describes his own heart. And what he says about himself will reframe how you come to him. We'll walk through: Why "I know nothing" is actually the best posture to bring to JesusThe childlike qualifier that opens the door to the kingdomWhat Jesus means by his yoke being easy and his burden lightWhy gentle and lowly changes everything about how you approach GodHow to move from just knowing about the Holy Spirit to actually experiencing himThe contemplative and charismatic rhythms that form us into people of presenceIf you're weary, burned out, anxious, or sensing that your current way of life isn't forming you into the person you want to become — this message is for you. 📍 New City Church | Nashville, TN 🌐 newcitynash.com 📖 Text: Matthew 11:25-30 If you're local to Nashville, we'd love to have you join us on a Sunday. If you're not, we'd love to help you find a church home near you. #Matthew11 #GentleAndLowly #ChurchPlanting #Nashville #Sermon #ComeToMe #JesusIsEnough #NewCityChurch

    Seen. Known. Loved. | The Resurrection and the Ache of Loneliness

    One of Jesus' most overlooked miracles? Having close friends in his 30s.  Loneliness is one of the most universal human experiences and one of the hardest to admit. In this Easter sermon, Pastor Trey Hayman walks through the entire arc of Scripture to show that the ache you feel to be seen, known, and loved isn't a flaw in your design. It's a signpost pointing you somewhere.  From the garden of Genesis to the empty tomb to the book of Revelation, this is the story of a God who doesn't just wait for you to find your way back. He comes looking for you.  New City Church // Nashville, TN  newcitynashville.com

    The Devil's Imitation Game: Revelation 13, the Mark of the Beast, and Why Jesus Is the Real Thing

    Revelation 13 is one of the most feared and misread passages in the Bible. The mark of the beast, 666, the antichrist: these images have sparked centuries of speculation. But what if the point isn't a future microchip or a single world leader? What if it's something happening right now, in the systems and stories competing for your deepest allegiance? In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Trey walks through Revelation 13 with pastoral care and scholarly depth unpacking the "unholy trinity" of the dragon and two beasts, the ancient imagery behind 666, and what it means to be marked by the Lamb rather than the beast. The dragon's greatest trick isn't brute force. It's imitation. And the fact that he works so hard to copy Jesus is the dragon's unwilling confession that Jesus is the real thing. Whether you grew up terrified of 666, or you're just trying to make sense of Revelation for the first time, this conversation is for you. 📖 Revelation 13 | Luke 19 | Palm Sunday
