    Sermon - Your New Home: Overcomers Series

    Sermon Outline Focus: Our final hope is not escaping earth, but God making all things new and dwelling with His people forever. I. God Is Making All Things New       “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1).       Our ultimate hope is not escaping creation, but God’s restoration of it.       Everything sin has corrupted; God will make right.       The brokenness of this world doesn’t get the final word. Jesus does! II. God Is Making His Home with Us       “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.” (Revelation 21:3).       The greatest gift of heaven is not what will be there, but WHO will be there!       No more death. No more mourning. No more pain. No more separation.       Our ultimate hope isn’t simply the absence of suffering. It’s the presence of our       Savior. III. God Is Inviting Us to Come Home       “To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment”       (Revelation 21:6).       Salvation is not something we earn, but a gift we receive through Jesus Christ.       The God who promises to make all things new is already making people new       today.       We don’t overcome because we’re strong. We overcome because Jesus has       overcome! IV. Am I living with my eyes fixed on the brokenness of this world, or on the promise of     the One who is making all things new? Who needs to hear this hope through me? Support the show Visit us online at churchofthelakes.org or on social media at churchofthelakesohio

    Sermon - Your Family in Faith - The Overcomers

    Sermon Outline: Jesus is preparing a people, not merely saving individuals. We belong to the Bride of Christ, and we need one another to remain faithful until He comes. I. Jesus Is Preparing a People, Not Merely Saving Individuals “The marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready” (19:7) Jesus gave His life to create a redeemed people who belong to Him. The Church isn’t simply a place we attend. It’s a family where we belong. Nobody overcomes alone. II. The Family of Faith Reflects the Love of the Lamb “Fine linen, bright and pure, was given her to wear” (19:8) We are saved by grace, and that same grace transforms how we live. The Bride is called to reflect the heart of the Bridegroom. We don’t merely talk about restoration. We participate in it. (i.e. Paul Smith in Sierra Leone) III. The Family of Faith Is Getting Ready for a Wedding “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb!” (19:9) The Holy Spirit is preparing us through holiness, obedience, worship, and love. We help one another remain faithful until Christ returns. We are not simply waiting for a wedding. We are being prepared for one. IV. How am I helping others in the family of faith grow closer to Jesus? And who might God be calling me to welcome into His family?

    Conversation - with Pastor Robby and Pastor Jared - Living Counterculturally - Overcomers - Week 6

    Kingdom Conversations | Overcomers – Week 6: Living Counterculturally in a World That Shapes Us How do we follow Jesus in a world that constantly tries to shape our beliefs, priorities, and values? In this episode of Kingdom Conversations, Pastor Robby Strock welcomes Pastor Jared Priset as they continue the Overcomers series, exploring Revelation 12–14 and the challenge of living with a Kingdom mindset in a culture that often stands in opposition to our faith. Together, they discuss how culture influences our daily lives, how even good things can become idols, and what it truly means to be in the world but not of the world. They also explore the subtle dangers of comfort, materialism, distraction, and the desire for acceptance—and how Christians can remain faithful without withdrawing from the world or becoming consumed by it. Rather than focusing solely on what Christians should stand against, this conversation challenges us to focus on who we are becoming in Christ. Join us as we discover how to live courageously, resist cultural pressures, and find our identity and hope in Jesus, the One who has already overcome.

    Sermon - Your Cultural Caution - The Overcomers

    Sermon Outline Focus: The world pressures us to bear its mark, but overcomers belong to the Lamb. I. Be careful what is forming you.         The world and the things of it are constantly discipling us.         The question isn’t whether you’re being formed. The question is who is forming you.         Question: What is shaping what I love, desire, and believe? II. Stop chasing almost-sevens.         666: the most complete incomplete thing.         Created things can never provide what only the Creator can give.         Money. Success. Approval. Pleasure. Power. Comfort. Almost 7 but never complete.         Question: What “almost-seven” am I asking to satisfy me? III. Remember whose name you bear.         “The Lamb was standing on Mount Zion…” (Revelation 14:1)         The beast has a mark. Jesus has a name.         If you are “in-Christ,” you are redeemed. Forgiven. Chosen. His.         “They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.” (Revelation 14:4) IV. The world pressures us to bear its mark. But overcomers belong to the Lamb.

    Conversation - with Pastor Robby and Pastor Jared - Seeing the Invisible - Overcomers - Week 5

    Overcomers – Week 5: Seeing the Invisible | Revelation 12 What if the greatest battles we face aren't against other people, but against spiritual forces we cannot see? In this episode of Kingdom Conversations, Pastor Robby Strock and Pastor Jared Priset dive deeper into Revelation 12, exploring the unseen spiritual battle taking place in our lives and the victory we have through Jesus Christ. Together, they discuss how Satan uses deception, temptation, accusation, division, and isolation to pull us away from God. They also explore how to recognize the difference between the enemy's accusations and the Holy Spirit's conviction, why people are not our true enemy, and how God's transforming grace empowers us to overcome sin and pursue holiness. At the heart of this conversation is a powerful reminder: "We don't fight for victory; we fight from victory." Jesus has already overcome, and through Him, we can find the strength, hope, and courage to face life's spiritual battles. Join us as we discover what it truly means to be an overcomer!
