    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

    The Real Enemy Behind Your Struggles | Revelation 12

    Do you feel like the world is broken? Like there's opposition in your life you can't quite put your finger on? Revelation 12 names it. In this episode, we step into what several scholars call the theological center of the entire book of Revelation, a cosmic war between Team Dragon and Team Lamb. And what John does in this chapter is exactly what every good story does: he names the bad guy, names his moves, and shows you how the people of God overcome. We cover three tactics the enemy uses against you — accusation, deception, and the threat of death — and three ways verse 11 tells us to fight back: by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of our testimony, and by not loving our lives so much that we're afraid to die. This one is for anyone who's been feeling the weight of opposition, guilt, confusion, or fear lately. You're not just dealing with circumstances. And once you see what's really going on — you can't unsee it. A sermon from New City Church, Nashville, TN. Plan a visit @ newcitynash.com

    Protected, Not Insulated — What Revelation 11 Says About Suffering and Witness

    Revelation 11 is dense, symbolic, and honestly a little overwhelming. Even scholars can't fully agree on what it means. But here's what it does make clear: being a witness of Jesus costs something. And the people of God are not promised safety from suffering . They're promised that suffering won't win. In this episode, Trey Hayman (lead pastor of New City Church in Nashville, TN) walks through one of the most debated passages in the New Testament and lands on something both strange and deeply hopeful: the 42 months always has a last day. We cover: - What it means that God "measures" his people (and why it's about protection, not just counting) — The significance of the two witnesses and what olive trees and lampstands have to do with the church today — Why repentance and prophetic boldness aren't opposites — they belong together — How resurrection turns suffering into witness — Why the numbers at the end of the chapter (one-tenth, seven thousand) are actually numbers of mercy This isn't a sermon about having all the answers. It's about learning to live faithfully in the crunch of clashing kingdoms. It's about learning to live clothed in repentance, rooted in Scripture, and filled with the Spirit of the one who already defeated death. God with us in it. God over it in us. And one day God with us over it. New City Church is a church plant in Nashville, TN on a mission to help people become people of presence for the good of their neighbors and the glory of God.

    Bittersweet — The Angel, the Scroll, and What It Costs to Bear Witness

    * the first part of the sermon got cut off, so if you would like to see it, you can find that at the bottom of this description: Summary: Pastor Trey digs into Revelation 10 and a strange moment in the Bible— eating a scroll. But the image goes all the way back to Ezekiel, and it carries a truth that every follower of Jesus needs to sit with: the good news is sweet. And sometimes? It turns your stomach. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be a witness (hint: it's a see-and-say word), why words and works were never meant to be separated, and how the bitterness you feel over people not seeing it yet is actually a sign you're doing it right. Whether you love talking about your faith, feel guilty about it, or have complicated feelings about the whole thing — pull up a chair. Sermon script: Read Revelation 10. Years ago, one of my best friends, Hunter, and I took kayaks or a canoe out to this island on Percy Priest Lake. And I don’t know about you guys, but for some reason, I always thought it would be cool to be safely stranded on a deserted island and have to survive. At least in my head, it actually would be terrifying, but i don’t know we were walking around this area, and no one else was around. And we find this tent that had been destroyed by a storm or something, and Hunter and I both were like - somebody is dead in that tent. And we’re on this island in the middle of this lake, and we’re about to find a dead body. This is nuts. So of course, naturally, we tentatively look around and inside the tent, and nothing is there. But we were about ready to be witnesses in court to what we found on this island in the middle of Percy Priest Lake. Cause we’d seen it. Now of course none of that happened. You know I do often think though about situations where someone believes something that seems crazy and no one believes them, until it happens. Or until they do. Like I used to watch this sci-fi show Doctor Who. It’s been going on forever, but the main character Dr. Who - I’m not going to explain who he is, but he can travel across the universe and across time through a thing called the Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension in Space). It’s not just a a space ship. It’s a time and space machine, that looks on the outside like a phone booth. But is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. And naturally no one really believes it until they see it. But when you do, man if i saw that, I would tell everybody. You gotta see this space time ship thingI’ve seen. It’s crazy.I can’t help but tell you about it. I’ve witnessed something and I have to tell you. And this text sets us up for next week about witnessing. This word witness is an important word. We look to witnesses in court cases. We look to witnesses to see if somehting actually happened. If someone we know tells us about something and we trust them and they’ve seen it, we’re more prone to trusting it.Witness is a “see and say” word (per Scot McKnight.) You see something and you testify it. And it’s a super important word throughout the Bible. A witness is the one who sees something. And then you bear witness by sharing what you’ve seen. "

    A Wake-Up Call: The Seven Trumpets and the Good News of God’s Judgment

    Many people approach Revelation with fear or confusion—but what if its purpose is actually to wake us up to reality? In this sermon from New City Church, Pastor Trey walks through the powerful imagery of the Seven Trumpets in Revelation 8–11. These visions of judgment are not meant to ultimately terrorize believers but to reveal something deeper: God sees the suffering and injustice of the world, and he is not indifferent to it. The trumpet blasts are warnings meant to turn hearts back to God. They expose the false promises of the idols we trust—power, wealth, security—and invite us to find life in Jesus instead. In this episode, we explore:• Why Revelation uses apocalyptic imagery• How suffering can become a spiritual wake-up call• What the trumpet judgments reveal about God’s justice• Why repentance and hope sit at the center of Revelation Even in its most sobering passages, Revelation points us toward the ultimate hope: the kingdom of God is coming, and Jesus will make all things new.

    A Sermon on Biblical Unity from Philippians 2 // Kristoff Hart

    Christians are called to unity, but what does that mean? Biblical unity is not the same as uniformity. It's not everyone always sharing all the same preferences. Biblical unity is built off a commitment to the person of Jesus and being part of the family of God. In this message, guest preacher Kristoff Hart breaks down Philippians 2 talking about unity in Christian friendship.

    The Seven Seals of Revelation and the Four Horsemen

    The world feels divided. War, injustice, greed, fear, political power struggles. In Revelation 6–8:5, we encounter the famous Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as part of the seven seals—but what do they actually represent? Revelation pulls back the curtain to show us what's going on beyond what we can see. In this sermon from New City Church, we explore how Revelation is: • An apocalypse (an unveiling of reality) • A prophecy (a word of comfort and challenge) • A letter to shape communities The Four Horsemen reveal conquest, war, famine, economic injustice, and death—not as future speculation alone, but as the recurring patterns of broken kingdoms. Yet in the middle of chaos, Revelation gives us stunning hope: a sealed people who belong to the Lamb. This message speaks to: – Political division and cultural tension – Fear and instability – Consumerism and greed – Suffering and persecution – What it means to belong to Jesus in turbulent times Revelation is meant to open our eyes and point us to Jesus. It reminds us that Jesus is still on the throne, evil does not get the last word, and the Lamb will wipe every tear from our eyes.If you’re tired of darkness and longing for clarity, this sermon is for you. 📖 Scripture: Revelation 6–7 🏛 Church: New City Church 🔔 Subscribe for weekly sermons rooted in Scripture, shaped by hope, and centered on Jesus.

    A Sermon on Forgiveness // Micah E. Davis

    Forgiveness is a word that is often thrown out but not understood. At its best, it shows a central message of the Christian faith. At its worst, people use it to excuse all sorts of behavior. What is forgiveness? And what does the Bible actually teach us about it? How are those who follow Jesus also to forgive? And what does that mean anyways? In this sermon, pastor and author Micah E. Davis invites us to let go of our restless pursuit of perfection and to find rest in Christ. Micah shares powerful spiritual truths about forgiveness and grace, guiding us through the process of forgiveness from a biblical lens. He explores: what forgiveness is, what it isn’t,how to practice ithow to understand biblical forgiveness and offer it to othersthe beauty of forgivenesswhy it’s essential to healing relationships with others, ourselves, and God We’ll learn how forgiveness, mercy, reconciliation, and redemption can free us from bitterness and anger, releasing us into a life of peace, joy, and love.
