    Thankful, Grateful, Blessed, pt. 1 - For My Friends

    Passage: Philippians 1:3–5; Proverbs 18:24; John 15:13–15; Galatians 6:2; Philippians 4:6–7; Ephesians 1:16–17; 1 Corinthians 1:4; 1 Thessalonians 1:2 This series is about perspective: even in a brutal year, the preacher chooses to honor God and his mother by noticing what has gone right, not only what has gone wrong. Today he thanks God for friends, including this church, and draws on Paul’s letters to show what real friendship looks like. The big idea is that you are thankful, grateful, and blessed no matter your circumstances, if you have even one person who truly has your back. Key Takeaways: This month is about perspective. It is human to fixate on what is wrong, but we can choose to see what is going right—and you are thankful, grateful, and blessed regardless of your circumstances.A friend shares your burdens, has a stake in your growth, and genuinely wants what is best for you. Real friends stay through highs and lows; ten years of friendship still matters.You do not need a lot of friends. You need real ones. One reliable friend is worth a hundred unreliable acquaintances—cherish them and tell them they matter.Jesus is the truest friend. He laid down his life, calls you friend, and invites deep intimacy with him—not servitude for its own sake, but friendship that obeys him.Great friends focus on what they can give, not what they can get. You do not have to be everyone’s friend; you can still be kind while stepping back from one-sided relationships.Pray for your friends. That joins God’s work in their lives, shares their burdens, and eases the crushing weight of loneliness.Loneliness is one of Satan’s favorite tools. When you feel alone, remember: people love you, people pray for you, and God is fighting for you.Carry each other’s burdens. Be a source of joy to others, and thank the people who have been that for you—do not take their effort for granted.The answer to prayer is not always getting what you asked for. It is the peace of God guarding your heart—and purposeful prayer for wisdom and revelation helps friends see life as God sees it.Friendship requires grace, the way God has been gracious to you. That is not being a doormat, but refusing grudges that leave you isolated—and refusing to throw people away the way God did not throw you away.

    Come, Jesus Come, pt. 7 - The Triumphant Return

    Passage: Revelation 19–22 After Babylon falls, heaven answers with worship and Jesus returns as the conquering King, not the sacrificial Lamb. The preacher walks through the wedding feast, the thousand-year reign, and the new heaven and new earth, then keeps pressing what that means for waiting on God, real worship, and telling people the truth. Key Takeaways: The martyrs had to wait, but justice comes in God’s time. Never doubt that the Lord is working on your behalf, even when the wait is unfair and hard.If you hold on and stay true in Christ, the truth will out. What is hidden will be seen.Worship belongs to the Creator, not what He creates. When we worship circumstances, our “faith” collapses the moment life turns bad.The second coming is the Lion, not the Lamb. His blazing eyes mean you cannot hide who you are from God, and He will judge accordingly.We love Lamb Jesus and ignore Lion Jesus. Both are real. Lion Jesus brings accountability, and that uncomfortable truth is still true.You serve an undefeatable Savior. Stop living like a victim. The church has gotten soft, stays silent to avoid offense, and people are not being saved because of it.You know someone who needs Jesus and you are not telling them because it is easier. He would rather be the bad guy than see their blood on Christ’s robes.Debates over when the millennium fits are not worth dividing the church. What matters is that these events happen: Christ wins, Satan is bound, there is a thousand years of peace, then judgment and a new creation.You will either be with God in that new heaven and new earth, or separated from Him. There is no worse outcome than being cut off from the Father.Christ is coming soon. Our job is to prepare His bride by sharing the gospel so as many as possible are ready when He comes—and so we are not keeping grace to ourselves for comfort’s sake.

    Come, Jesus Come, pt. 6 - The Collapse

    Passage: Revelation 17–18 Babylon collapses, first as a false world religion and then as a world power that forgot God. John sees it after the seals, trumpets, and bowls, but it happens before that tribulation and clears the way for Jesus to come. The idea the preacher keeps underlining is that God’s people cannot trade his truth for something easier. Key Takeaways: Chapter 17 is a false religion dressed up as truth. Chapter 18 is one real world power. Rulers chase her because she offers power.Do not trade uncomfortable truth for cozy lies. The truth is not for sale.The gospel is supposed to offend. It starts by naming sin and calling sinners to repent.This false religion dresses like God. The way to recognize it is to know Scripture and live by it.The frightening thing is a church that welcomes people and will not tell them the truth.Believing in Jesus and refusing to submit to him is exactly what Satan does.The nations will use that religion and then destroy it. God put that in their hearts. He still has the final say.You are a Christian before you are anything else. When God says flee, real belief leaves.These events will come. Do not give up or help them along just because you know how the story ends.The job has not changed: grow in the faith, tell people the truth, pray for them, and keep pursuing them. You will answer to God for what you did with his word.

    Come, Jesus Come, pt. 5 - Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls

    Passage: Revelation 6–16 The Lamb opens the seals, and the trumpets and bowls pour out God’s wrath on a world that will not repent. The preacher wants those judgments heard as real events still ahead, in the three and a half years before Jesus comes. Then he presses what that means for sin, forgiveness, and how we love people. Key Takeaways: These events are literal and still future. They are not symbols, and they are not headlines already in the news.They come after the rapture, on people who have not repented and trusted Jesus.The rider on the white horse is not Jesus. He conquers with a bow and no arrows, and only God could unite the world that peacefully.God himself sends these judgments. They break the laws of nature so no one can mistake them for an accident, and the living would rather die than face him.Some people will repent in the middle of it and be spared. Many will not, and we often do the same thing when God is clearly right.Even while the bowls are being poured out, God is still leaving room to repent. He is holding out hope to the end.This is why we share the gospel. That wrath is coming for everyone who will not repent and confess that Jesus is Lord, no matter how decent they seem.What is fair is that all of us deserve it, because we killed the Son. He is still willing to forgive. That is the gospel.The truth does not answer to our feelings. We are not God, and we do not know better than the Creator.Love the Lord with all you are, and love your neighbor by telling them the truth plainly and calling them to repent. You get one life. Do not put that off.

    Come, Jesus Come, pt. 4 - Throne Room Worship

    Passage: Revelation 4–5 John is caught up in the Spirit and sees the throne room of heaven—God on the throne, the elders and living creatures worshiping, and a sealed scroll no one is worthy to open. Only the Lion of Judah appears as the slain Lamb who lives, takes the scroll, and draws all creation into praise. This message reminds us that Revelation is meant to stir faith, not fear, and that worship is ascribing worth to God alone—not to the things we chase on earth. Key Takeaways: Revelation is not meant to freak you out and leave you in fear—God winsThe first thing John sees is God on the throneEven in the throne room, God’s mercy is on displayNo matter how much the elders have overcome, they lay their crowns before God and worship Him aloneNo one in heaven or on earth was worthy to open the scroll—only Jesus, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb who was slainThese chapters are about worship—and worship means to ascribe worthThe ultimate worth for Christians is God and Jesus; everything else is worthless by comparisonIt’s not how we worship that matters most—it’s who we worshipWe all ascribe worth to the wrong things sometimes; at the end of the day it’s all about God and JesusPrayer, Scripture, giving, and the way we live can all be acts of worship

    Come, Jesus Come, pt. 3 - The Seven Letters, Cont’d

    Passage: Revelation 3 Jesus finishes the seven letters with Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea—and the accountability sharpens. One church looks alive but is dead, another has little strength yet stays true and faithful, and another is lukewarm, wealthy, and spiritually blind. This message calls us to drop the facade, stay steadfast, repent when conviction comes, and open the door while Christ is knocking. Key Takeaways: Guard yourself against the trap of appearances—you can fool the world, but Christ sees to your very coreChrist’s opinion is the only one that mattersIf no one else is doing what’s right in the eyes of the Lord, be the last oneLittle strength, but true and faithful—what an awesome description for a follower of ChristWe serve the holy Lamb of God who holds the keys to our spiritual futureDon’t rely on earthly possessions instead of your heavenly Father—comfort leads to stagnationLukewarm does no goodThose whom I love I rebuke and discipline—that’s loveConviction isn’t punishment; it’s the loving correction of a good GodJesus is standing at the door and knocking—will you answer?

    Come, Jesus Come, pt. 2 - The Seven Letters

    Passage: Revelation 2 Jesus writes to the churches of Asia—beginning with Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Thyatira—and shows that He knows their works, their struggles, and their compromises. These letters still speak to congregations and individuals today: keep love at the center, stay faithful under pressure, refuse cultural compromise, and deal with sin honestly. The call is clear—be the church, rooted in Scripture and marked by agape love. Key Takeaways: Christ knows our works—nothing is hidden from Him, on a church level or an individual levelIt doesn’t matter what we do or how well we do it if love for God isn’t the foundational motivationGod doesn’t just want our head and our hands—He also wants our heartYou can be poor and afflicted and still be rich in ChristHealthy churches are marked by growth and by their ability to identify sin and remove itA church must be Bible-believing, God-fearing, loving, steadfast, and always seeking improvementDon’t just come to church—be the church: pray, serve, build relationships, and dig in with both feet

    Come Jesus Come, pt. 1 - The Exalted Christ

    Passage: Revelation 1 Revelation opens by putting the exalted Christ at the center—not timelines, charts, or speculation. John receives a vision that unveils who Jesus is in glory, assures persecuted believers that God is in control, and points toward His visible return. This message calls us to faithful living now, because Christ reigns, He is coming, and we will give an account. Key Takeaways: Revelation uses apocalyptic imagery to encourage persecuted Christians to remain faithful—God wins, and good winsThe subject of this revelation is the exalted Christ; He takes center stage from the first verseJesus freed us from our sins with a purpose: to make us a priesthood who serve God dailyHis greatness isn’t in His appearance, but in His ability to redeem you from your sinsThe study of the end times is a fruitless pursuit if it doesn’t lead us to winning souls for ChristIf eschatology causes you to build a bunker rather than build relationships, you’ve got a problemStay out of the weeds—beware of anyone who claims to know when Christ is coming backChrist is who He said He was; He reigns supreme over all the earthNo one has any time to waste—not because we have a definitive timeline, but because He could return at any second and deserves our greatest devotion
