Making Jesus Irresistible in Everyday Life
In this powerful message, Pastor Timothy walks us through the opening of the first six seals in Revelation 6 — a passage filled with imagery of conquest, persecution, famine, death, and divine judgment. But behind the symbols and chaos stands the Lamb who reigns.Is the rider on the white horse Christ or a counterfeit? What hope do we have in the face of suffering and wrath? And how does this ancient vision speak to the church today?Discover how the gospel goes forth, how the church is called to conquer through sacrifice, and how every heart must choose between the mercy of the Lamb or His wrath.
On Memorial Day weekend, we pause to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. But in Revelation 4–5, we're invited into a greater throne room—where all of heaven remembers and worships the One who was slain for the redemption of the world. At the center of all creation stands the Lamb, and He alone is worthy to open the scroll and fulfill God's plan. This message calls us to reflect on the cost of our freedom—both earthly and eternal—and to respond with lives of worship, sacrifice, and prayer.
When life feels out of control, what we need most is not escape—but a vision. In this episode, we explore the connection between Stephen's final moments in Acts 7 and John's throne room vision in Revelation 4. In both, we're reminded that Jesus reigns—and He invites us to come up, look up, and live with eyes fixed on the throne. In the midst of discouragement, compromise, and cultural pressure, the call is clear: He is worthy. Worship is our response.
What does it take to remain faithful when life feels overwhelming, when faith costs everything, and when compromise seems easier than conviction? In this powerful message from Revelation 1, we're given a vision of Jesus that changes everything—eyes like fire, a voice like rushing waters, and a face shining like the sun. He is not only the faithful witness and firstborn from the dead—He is the conquering Christ.Drawing from the vision given to the apostle John and a dramatic scene from Elisha's ministry in 2 Kings 6, this sermon calls us to open our eyes to the ultimate reality: Jesus reigns even when the world rages. Through suffering, persecution, or tribulation, we are reminded that we are more than conquerors—but only when we see the Conqueror for who He is.Whether you're in a season of fire or facing fears that feel insurmountable, this message is a call to courage, faith, and endurance. Look up. Do not fear. Christ has conquered.
In this kickoff to our new series through the book of Revelation, Pastor Timothy unpacks the purpose, power, and practical importance of the final book of the Bible. Revelation is often misunderstood—as either a confusing puzzle or a prophetic timeline—but it's first and foremost a revelation of Jesus Christ.This message lays the groundwork: how to read Revelation, why it matters today, and how to anchor our lives in the reality that Jesus is on the throne. Whether you're curious, cautious, or captivated by Revelation, this episode invites you into a journey of worship, wisdom, and faithful witness.
On this Easter Sunday, we don't just celebrate an empty tomb—we behold a reigning King. In Revelation 1, John gives us a vision of Jesus unlike any other: eyes like fire, a voice like rushing waters, and keys in His hands. This isn't pocket-sized, manageable Jesus. This is the risen, reigning, ruling Christ.Pastor Timothy walks us through seven types of people (like Loveless Larry and Lukewarm Lucy) who still exist in the church today—and reminds us that what we need isn't “a little Jesus,” but the living Jesus. This message calls us to worship, repentance, and mission in light of the resurrected King who holds all authority in heaven and on earth.
On Good Friday, we remember not just the suffering of Christ—but His worth. In this message from Revelation 5, Pastor Timothy takes us into the throne room of heaven, where angels and elders fall down before a slain Lamb who stands in victory.Why is Jesus the only one worthy to open the scroll? Because He was slain. Because He ransomed people by His blood. Because He conquered through the cross.This sermon explores the meaning of true worthiness, the justice and mercy of God, and how the cross of Christ becomes the hinge of history. Featuring rich theological insight and a powerful story of Moravian missionaries, this message calls us to respond with nothing less than worthy worship.
