Throughout His earthly ministry Jesus used stories that His audience could identify with in order to help them understand a heavenly truth. They're called “parables”. We're about to encounter one such parable today, and it's one of the best known of all shared by the Lord. The parable of the sower really is designed to get us to think about the condition of our own heart, so let's do that together.

Daniel speaks of a seventieth week that has yet to come and at the midpoint of that week, the Antichrist will demand to be worshiped and will force his mark to be taken upon all people.

Today on Light on the Hill we'll be talking about the rise of the Antichrist and the process of him coming to power! What will happen when this takes place? Exactly when will this happen?

As we continue our study through Revelation with pastor James Kaddis we've reached chapter twelve. We're going to learn about one of the great battles of all time, one that's been fought since the beginning of time and one that continues today. It's the battle between satan and God. One interesting aspect of this battle is that we already know who has won! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Last time we had just begun to get to know the two witnesses, described for us in Revelation chapter eleven, when we ran out of time. So today, pastor James will bring us the rest of his message. As is the case with much of this book, debate has raged over the real identity of the two preachers, and Pastor James will point out the varying opinions that exist, and offer his thoughts too.

We've been studying the Book of Revelation. During the Tribulation period the Lord will send out two witnesses to testify of His grace, love and forgiveness. Though they'll have the power and authority of God they'll be opposed at every turn. Similarly we're called to be God's witnesses in a hostile environment. Thankfully we have the power of the Spirit to help. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Today, we make a return visit to Revelation chapter ten. This chapter is a chance to catch our collective breaths after the cataclysmic events in chapter nine. We're in between the sixth and seventh trumpet judgments… a parenthesis if you will. There's been much speculation about what the Seven Thunders are here in this chapter. But God chose not to tell us what it is for good reason. And pastor James Kaddis says we should just accept the fact that we really don't know! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Maybe like many you've wondered, what are the seven thunders mentioned in Revelation chapter ten? What was actually heard by the apostle John? Why would he be told to be quiet about that encounter? What does it all mean? We'll get some answers on today's Light on the Hill as pastor James Kaddis continues our journey through Revelation.

In these days leading up to Easter we're airing a five-part series on the Prophecies that Changed the World Forever. And we're starting with some prophecies concerning Palm Sunday, which we'll be celebrating this coming Sunday! But pastor James Kaddis is going to focus primarily on how we choose to respond to prophecy and really God's Word as a whole! When we refuse to apply the Bible to every area of life that leads to missed opportunities! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Get ready for what will be shockingly powerful as we hear how God spoke to us about a very special moment in history. This moment didn't just alter the course of history, it changed the world forever. We're breaking away from our study of Revelation for a couple of weeks here on Light on the Hill so we can focus on the prophecies that changed the world forever. And we'll start off with Luke chapter nineteen, where Jesus gets on a little donkey and rides into Jerusalem.

Today we jump back into our study of Mark's gospel, and aim to complete chapter three. When Jesus said that doing the will of the Heavenly of the Father is more important than doing the will of His family, He was conveying something important to us about obedience.

Pastor James Kaddis continues today in the book of Revelation.

Today pastor James picks up where we left off in Revelation. At this point in the Tribulation people are now subject to supernatural tormenting of demonic creatures! So horrifying it's enough to make your skin crawl. What's even more astonishing, as this evil is unleashed, mankind remains unrepentant.

What would you do to get someone's attention? If your neighbor's house was on fire would you break a window to get their attention? What would God do to get the attention of a world that's about to burn down so to speak? We'll find out on Light on the Hill. Pastor James Kaddis is in the middle of his study of Revelation and in chapter eight the seven trumpet judgments are sounding.

We're in the midst of an intriguing study of Revelation. And as we open our Bibles to chapter seven, we're introduced to 144,000 people that are sealed and protected during the Tribulation period.

Who are the 144,000, and what does it mean when they are referred to in Revelation chapter seven as being sealed? Is this a literal moment in time or is this some largely symbolic metaphor? If it's literal, how do we respond and what does it mean for us? If it's metaphorical, what in the world does it represent? We hope to answer those questions and more today on Light on the Hill.

Especially around Christmas time, we tend to have a picture in our minds of a gentle Jesus, meek and mild and loving. The book of Revelation depicts a different side of our Lord and savior.In chapters 6-19 we learn about the wrath of the lamb. One day the judgment of God will come upon a Christ-rejecting world in the Tribulation period. And today on Light on the Hill pastor James Kaddis will turn our attention to some of the seal judgments, described for us in Revelation chapter six.

Today on Light on the Hill seal number 5 is about to be opened, and we get a glimpse of the suffering that will come as a result of totalitarianism! God will judge all of it and bring His vengeance. The whole world will seek to escape it but they will be unable to hide from what God has in store for them. All of this should serve as a wake up call, and encourage us to get right with the Lord today, to avoid this coming judgment.

We'll be learning about the first four seal judgments, what is commonly referred to as the horseman of the Apocalypse. It's during this time that the final antichrist will come onto the scene, and as we'll learn today he is very much a totalitarian ruler! He's the rider of the white horse.

The first four seals of the book of Revelation are very telling.

Today we'll examine the moment that the Bible speaks of when Christ opens the seals of a scroll that nobody is worthy to open. It is at that glorious moment when we will witness the beginning of the Lion of the tribe of Judah putting into motion what will be the end of all evil and the beginning of a perfect eternity.

We're traveling through Revelation one verse at a time, here on Light on the Hill with pastor James Kaddis. Today we'll be resuming a discussion on the titles of Jesus, found in chapters two and three. The first one we'll have a look at is when Jesus calls Himself the first and the last.

The real war that we fight every day cannot be seen but everything is affected by it!

Today on Light on the Hill we're going to pause and do something rather unique! And that is examine the many titles Christ gives to Himself as He writes the seven letters to the seven churches!

Today on Light on the Hill we are going to talk about perhaps one of the greatest warnings ever given by God to the church. The warning is so severe and strong, if it were ignored, then results would be catastrophic. The church today is in grave danger of falling into this category and we must be very careful to heed the message.

Pastor James Kaddis will begin a look at the last of the seven letters to the seven churches. And this one is to Laodicea. And unlike the church we looked at previously, the Lord has really nothing good to say to this group! Today pastor James points out there's really a lot of bad teaching out there on this passage, so we need to clarify what Jesus meant by hot, cold and lukewarm!

As we continue through the book of Revelation here on Light on the Hill, we will spotlight the letters that were written by Christ to the churches at Sardis and Philadelphia. Christ's message to the both of them are very different but equally important. One church is rebuked and told to repent while the other is praised and encouraged. No matter what category you may fall under, it is critical to know that Jesus is coming soon. It's time to sober up and pay attention to what the spirit of God is doing because time is running out!

When we begin a relationship with Christ, typically we're on a great spiritual high, our love of the Lord is where it should be, and we're depending on the Spirit of God to help us grow. Then over time, there can be the tendency of drifting, and even dying in some area of our lives, spiritually speaking. Discover what to do when you're in that condition today on Light on the Hill.

There are many laws and commands found in the pages of the Bible. And while obedience to them is important, we must also stop to consider the spirit behind them! Today on Light on the Hill we'll hear of how the Pharisees got off track, as they focused entirely on the letter of the law when it came to the Sabbath. Jesus masterfully points out to them and us the spirit with which it was given. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Pastor James Kaddis' study on the letters to the seven churches in Revelation continues today with letter number four - the letter to Thyatira. Like several other churches, The Lord has something good to say. They were loving, faithful, growing and serving, among other things. But there was something terrible going on in this church too.

Last time we completed pastor James' look at the Lord's letter to Smyrna, in Revelation chapter two. It was a letter of encouragement and praise. Today, as we begin a study of the letter to Pergamum, we see a very different tone from the Lord. Pergamum had fallen into the hands of false teaching. They were compromising. The Lord's response? Repent! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Today we return to our exciting study of Revelation. We'll start by looking at the Lord's postcard to the church in Ephesus. While they were commended for some things, they had left their first love. It happened to the Ephesians and it's still happening to Christians today. If things aren't where they used to be in your relationship with Jesus, today's message will show you how to get back on track.

Today we begin a look at the first of seven letters Jesus gave to seven different churches in Revelation. What do you suppose Jesus would say if He stopped by for a visit to your church? Would He commend you and say keep that up? Or would He offer some words of correction? The church at Ephesus received both.

Revelation is an often times misunderstood book. It can be daunting, to say the least, but as we go verse by verse through all twenty-two chapters, I think you'll come away with a new found knowledge and appreciation for this amazing book of our Bible.
