Circumcision is a word that can often make us cringe. Being procedural, graphic and rather uncomfortable, it stirs up images we would rather not consider. Yet, for the Christian, it is a word of promise, representing a covenant the Lord established long ago. And Paul explains in the book of Romans how this covenant finds its spiritual fulfillment in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Listen to Pastor Efrain preach on what it means that believers are circumcised in their hearts, set apart and sealed by the Holy Spirit.

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that we all suffer from insecurity. Whether it is in our jobs, our marriages, our churches or even our faith, we often feel as if we do not measure up. Worse still, our fears and sufferings exacerbate our insecurities and leave us in a constant state of "hamster wheeling" our way through the week. So what do we do with that? How does the gospel free us from the never-ceasing need to measure ourselves against impossible expectations? Listen to Pastor Jeremy as he delves into the details of how the gospel really is the good news for the insecure and how Jesus meets us in our fears and anxieties.

As we wrap up our series in the book of the Revelation, the final verses of God's written word are examined. How does the greatest story ever told end? After all of the judgment, plagues, destruction and wondrous visions the Apostle John sees, what does Jesus leave with him with?

An invitation for all people to come to him... to find their rest, salvation and redemption in his accomplished work. We are reminded that our time on this earth is limited and that we never know when His return will occur. Listen to Pastor John implore the faithful to persevere and the unbelievers to come to faith in Christ.

As Revelation comes to a close, the Apostle John is given his final vision of what's yet to come. The New Heaven and the New Earth are unveiled, Christ receives his Bride and all things are made new again. The description of life everlasting is is not merely the avoidance of hell or living in paradise. In the end, the greatest of all things occur... we get God!

Listen to Pastor John's message from Revelation 21:1-22:5 on what our life will look like and that the ultimate blessing of our Savior is to be in his presence... forever and ever.

Revelation 19 & 20 are some of the most debated, intense and terrifying sections in all of Scripture. When King Jesus returns, he is not coming to die for the forgiveness of sins. He is coming to judge the world and throw Satan and all who belong to him in the lake of fire which burns forever and ever. The White Throne Judgement occurs, books are opened, accounts are audited and the culmination of God's fury is satisfied.

So what? What does this mean for the believer? How does this change us? To what degree does it apply to our lives in the here and now? Listen to Pastor John's message on why these chapters of Revelation serve as both our living hope and our immediate call to kingdom living.

Revelation 17 & 18 declare the fall of Babylon and the destruction of the great Prostitute. So what? How are these chapters of Revelation relevant to believers today? Do they serve as only a prophecy of what's to come or do they have a practical purpose? Do they speak into our current fears, hopes, sins and sufferings? Yes!

The gospel stands in the midst of this great judgement, beckoning believers to further repentance and offering salvation to a broken and sinful world. There are two paths available for all people: Following the Prostitute into utter destruction or King Jesus into eternal life. Listen as Pastor John guides us through this practical and relevant portion of Scripture.
