by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on December 3, 2025) In today’s sermon, after reviewing what the phrase “I come quickly” means, Elder Buddy Abernathy explains to us what it means when Jesus says “I am the Alpha and Omega” in verse 13. Join us today as we learn about the eternal Being of Jesus Christ,...
Revelation 1 (Sylvester Siu)
From Revelation 1:8, who is the Alpha and Omega and what does this name reveal about Christ and the Creation?
Theological Reflections The "Alpha and Omega," © 2026 ISBN 978-976-97826-0-0 PREFACEI, Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D., a qualified theologian with training, have decided to focus on the coherent theological arc that extends from creation to new creation in my study of the biblical story, particularly by looking at Genesis 1 and Revelation 1. My investigation is based on the knowledge that these two chapters are intricately linked in their depiction of God's work in the world, despite being separated by a great deal of time. I pay special attention to God as the "Alpha and Omega," a title that emphasizes the continuity and uninterrupted character of God's divine design from the start of creation to His final restoration (Revelation 22:13). Understanding how the Bible's narrative is a cohesive account of creation, fall, and salvation rather than just a collection of disparate events depends on this thematic thread.https://www.christourlife.online/salvation-historyUsing my research lens, I have highlighted the deep theological unity across the biblical text by capturing, framing, and revealing a number of striking differences between the accounts in Genesis and Revelation. For example, Revelation 1 describes a new creation, free of sin, confusion, and darkness, where the fullness of God's glory is shown, whereas Genesis 1 describes the creation of the world from a state of chaos, darkness, and nothingness (Genesis 1:1-5; Revelation 21:1-4). Additionally, in Genesis, the illumination of the world is initially provided by the sun and moon, whereas in Revelation, the divine presence of God Himself becomes the source of eternal light (Genesis 1:14-19; Revelation 21:23-24). Another notable parallel is the reappearance of the Tree of Life in Revelation, signalling the restoration of eternal access to God's presence, a concept first introduced in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9; Revelation 22:2). These theological connections demonstrate that the Bible, though written over millennia by various authors, narrates a coherent story of God's redemptive work, culminating in the fulfilment of the original creation through the restoration of what was lost.In the end, I argue that these contrasts not only reveal a continuity of God's plan throughout history but also emphasize His restorative work, offering hope for the ultimate redemption of the world. The Bible, in its entirety, tells a story of loss and restoration, of creation and recreation, all pointing toward the fulfilment of God's kingdom as seen in the new heaven and new earth. Thus, the theology presented in Genesis and Revelation together underscores a divine narrative that is both continuous and restorative, culminating in the redemption of creation itself.Support the showCultural Factors Influence Academic Achievements© 2024 ISBN978-976-97385-7-7 A_MEMOIR_OF_Dr_William_Anderson_Gittens_D_D_2024_ISBNISBN978_976_97385_0_8 Academic.edu.

We focus our attention on Christ as "Alpha and Omega" once again this week on "Encounter God's Truth"—also applying that reality in ways that will help us serve Him in these distressing times. Host Wayne Shepherd guides us in listening to portions of three different presentations by Dr. John Whitcomb. Together, they offer a brilliant demonstration of the fact that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. First, we consider the outworking of our faith in Christ as "Alpha and Omega" by studying the strategy offered in 2 Timothy 2, by which we endeavor to teach the entirety of Scripture to the whole world. Next, we hear questions posed to Dr. Whitcomb on both creationism and prophecy, followed by an exhortation that will motivate us to serve the Lord at this crucial hour. With thanks to Victory Baptist Church in Whiteland, Ind., and Prairie Baptist Church in Noblesville, Ind., for portions of this audio, we offer this broadcast with prayers that many will hear and share its gospel message.
Author and Biblical scholar Dr. John Whitcomb offered words of hope and anticipation to help us press forward during spiritually challenging times in this message, which focuses on Christ as "Alpha and Omega." With assistance from host Wayne Shepherd, Dr. Whitcomb drew from the broad sweep of Scripture in this message—giving Biblical reasons to persevere in our service to the Lord until the day of His return. Dr. Whitcomb went all the way back to creation to establish this theme. This program truly embodies our mission on "Encounter God's Truth," which is to declare that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end! In fact, Dr. Whitcomb encouraged us to be faithful to take all 66 books of the Bible seriously. We trust that this broadcast—the first half of a short series—will be a great blessing to you. If it is, won't you please consider sharing it with someone else as well?

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Fr Mike Delaney reflects on how our lives often intertwine with others in ways that shape and teach us, if only we take the time to notice God's presence in those shared moments
Pastor Ray Bentley points out how we identify with Christ through suffering. Each one of us receives our own cup of suffering. You will only know what you have physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually suffered. That's your cup. But it's to that degree that I drink my own cup that I'm able to identify with him and therefore love and appreciate his love for me and what he did for me there upon the cross spreading.

Message from Kyle Burkholder on October 12, 2025
Revelation has possibly become the most discussed and speculated on, if not the most controversial, of all books in the Bible. This is not that surprising, considering the incrediblyabstract literary images that are contained in this wonderful piece of writing. A four-week teaching series is not going to come close to answer all the questions that could be addressed, but what we can do is focus on the key characters and themes that we can find in this powerful book. Firstly, it is helpful to understand that Revelation is a mix of literary styles. It is a prophetic text following in the tradition of Old Testament prophets, it is an apocalyptic work full of symbolic imagery,and it is a situational letter written to a group of people living within the historical and societal context of the Roman Empire.-------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at https://gatewaybaptist.com.au or join us on Sundays at gtwy.au/live
Is the world spinning out of control, or is there something deeper going on?In this message, Tim Lucas opens a new series on the book of Revelation by exploring its central theme: worship. Rather than focusing on predictions or timelines, this teaching highlights the throne room of heaven in Revelation 4, where God is revealed as sovereign, eternal, and worthy of all worship.Tim explains the historical context of Revelation, the different ways it has been interpreted, and why it continues to speak powerfully to both ancient and modern audiences. He reminds us that despite the chaos we may see around us, God is still on the throne.This is not an end-times breakdown—it's a call to worship the One who was, who is, and who is to come.Revelation Is About Worship, Not Just End TimesGod Is on the ThroneHistorical Context MattersMultiple Interpretive LensesSpiritual Reality Beyond the PhysicalGod Is EternalWorship Is Central in HeavenContrast with Roman Emperor WorshipEveryone Will WorshipCall to Present-Day WorshipRevelation 4:8“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”---- Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.

Revelation 1
In this episode of Chai Beauty, I reflect on how the When You Pray Bible study reshaped the way I approach prayer. Instead of only petitioning God for what I need, I've learned the importance of admiration—confessing who God is: provisional, personal, a giver, and good. Through scriptures like Psalm 139 and Philippians 4, I share how worship, gratitude, and reverence have deepened my prayer life and helped me see God's goodness even in sorrow.We'll explore:The difference between petition, thanksgiving, and admiration in prayerThe four truths about who God isWhy worship and reverence matter in building faithHow the Holy Spirit quietly guides us with truthLearning to see problems as bumps, not endingsUsing the spiritual tools God has already given us

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – When you think about Revelation and the end of time, are you filled with hope or fear? Join me as I explore God's powerful message in the last book of the Bible. Together, we'll discover the hope that Jesus brings and look forward to dwelling with God forever. Let's see what Revelation reveals for us today...
Scripture Reading: Revelation 1:1-8 From the first line in the book of Revelation, John exalts Christ. Then, in the first chapter, he describes Christ in majestic terms. Christ is the "faithful witness" … the "firstborn from the dead" … the "ruler of the kings on earth" (Rev 1:5). Christ loves us and has freed us from our sins and made us a kingdom of priests. This prompts John's heart and pen to surge into a doxology … "to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen" (Rev 1:5). The words "I am the Alpha and the Omega" in Revelation 1:8 are words from God the Father. But those same words are echoed by Christ in Revelation 22:13. To say that Christ is the ruler of kings on earth is to declare His sovereignty, by which He governs everything that rulers do. "Kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations" (Psa 22:27). "The heart of the king is in the hand of the LORD . . . he turns it wherever he will" (Prov 21:1). "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand" (Prov 19:21). To say that Christ is the Alpha and the Omega is to declare His eternality and self-existence. Our response before Christ should be reverential fear and ecstatic delight and thankful adoration. "There is none like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might. Who would not fear you, O King of the nations? For this is your due" (Jer 10:6-7).

Many churches only teach about salvation and going to heaven, but that leaves us ill-prepared for the battle we face here on earth. God is training us in the same way parents train their children to prepare them for life. If we listen, we will realize God is preparing us for what we will face next. He is giving us the power to overcome the battles against the enemy. God is preparing us to overcome in the end days.
“Alpha and Omega” is of my favorite titles of Jesus Christ. I think we tend to think of this one with an eternal feel to it, and rightfully so. But what if we looked at it with a more DAILY mindset?If you'd like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here
