Pastor Timothy explains what it means.

Self Control - Part 3

In Revelation 17, we encounter one of the Bible's most vivid and unsettling images — the great prostitute, Babylon the Great, riding the beast and seducing the nations. But beneath the imagery lies a timeless truth: the world's systems of pleasure, prosperity, and power still war against the Lamb today.In this message, Politics and Prostitutes: A Tale of Two Cities, Pastor Timothy unpacks the meaning of Babylon as more than an ancient empire — it's the spirit of the age, the City of Man, contrasted with the City of God. Through Scripture, history, and modern parallels, we're called to live as faithful exiles: in the world, for the city, but never of the world.

Ever felt disappointed with life?

Pastor Timothy shows that Jesus silences the voice of shame, and shame removed leads to transparent living.

In Revelation 15–16, we encounter one of Scripture's most sobering truths — the wrath of God. Far from being cruel or impulsive, God's wrath is the necessary expression of His holy love and justice.Pastor Timothy unpacks the two expressions of wrath — passive and active — and shows how every act of divine judgment flows from a heart of love that refuses to let evil win. Through powerful connections to Romans, Exodus, and the cross, we see that Jesus drank the cup of wrath so we could drink the cup of salvation.

Pastor Timothy shows that Baptism and The Lord’s Table proclaims who we belong to, who we are, and what we have to look forward to.

In Revelation 14, we are called to “Follow the Lamb wherever He goes.” This powerful passage contrasts the way of the Lamb with the way of the beast — two marks, two allegiances, two destinies.Pastor Timothy unpacks what it means to live as those who bear the name of the Father, not the mark of the world. Belief becomes allegiance, and worship becomes witness as we learn to follow Jesus with endurance and purity in a world that pressures us to conform.

Discover the transformative power of joyful giving in this inspiring message on becoming a cheerful giver. Learn how to shift your perspective from seeing giving as an obligation to experiencing it as a joyful privilege. Based on 2 Corinthians 9:7, this message explores the Greek word 'hilaros' (the root of our English word 'hilarity') and how God desires us to give with genuine delight. Uncover the three keys to developing a cheerful giving attitude: understanding giving as a seed rather than a debt, adopting a 'triple P perspective' (Personal, Pensive, and Passionate giving), and embracing God's 'all-ability' to provide abundantly. This message challenges common misconceptions about generosity and reveals how God's economy works - where generosity multiplies capacity not to get more for ourselves, but to give more to others. Perfect for anyone struggling with mixed motivations in giving or seeking to experience more joy in their generosity. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned Christian, this message offers practical wisdom for cultivating a heart that gives cheerfully. Discover how generosity creates a beautiful circle of joy and thanksgiving that brings glory to God.

Title: Revelation 13 — The Dragon, the Beast, and the Call to EndureDescription: Revelation 13 pulls back the curtain on spiritual warfare. John shows us the dragon (Satan) and his helpers—the beast of persecution, the false prophet of deception, and Babylon's seduction. These powers demand worship, but the church is called to endure in faith and worship the Lamb.In this sermon, Pastor Timothy unpacks the mark of the beast, Nero and Rome as historical types, and how these symbols continue in modern forms of power, false religion, and cultural idolatry. More importantly, we see how believers overcome: by the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and not loving life even unto death.This is not a puzzle for tomorrow—it's a word for today. Stand firm, stay faithful, and live marked by Christ.

Week 3 of our Holy Habits series — Pastor Timothy pulls Psalm 1 apart and gives a very practical, very hopeful roadmap for growing in Christ instead of drifting into spiritual stagnation. This message names the sin of unrealized potential, explains why we naturally chase growth (and hate decay), and offers concrete rhythms to “be the tree” planted by streams of water: guard your way, root yourself in Scripture, welcome God's watch, and overflow with fruit.You'll hear a clear reading of Psalm 1 and an easy-to-remember framework (the “Here We Grow” breakdown) plus down-to-earth tips for meditation (the Heb. hagah—chewing on Scripture), memorization, and setting your mind on what's eternal. Pastoral, practical, and full of pastoral wisdom — a sermon to help you build habits that actually shape your soul.

The news shook us this week, but also woke us up. Now is not the time to let fear hold us back. Instead, let it be a call to live boldly in truth. To love truth more than comfort. To live consecrated in a world that wants compromise. To shine as light when culture embraces darkness. This is the cost of truth, but it's also the call of every believer. Lord, give us courage to stand, even when it costs.

Here's what makes unholy desire a trap

We were reminded today: ⚠️ LUST IS A SCAM. It baits you, promises to fulfill you, but always ends ugly. And if you think lust only applies to sexual desires, think again. Lust can be an uncontrolled desire of pleasure, possession, power or pride.

You know this: what you feed grows stronger

Pastor Timothy asks; What does it look like to live a zealous “not going through the motions,” worshipful life?!

Christ vs. Chaos | Revelation 12Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain on the cosmic battle between Christ and the dragon. In this message, Pastor Timothy shows how Jesus is the promised serpent-crusher who defeats the accuser, disarms the enemy, and secures victory for His people.We overcome not by our strength, but by the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and by loving Christ above even our own lives.

Title: Witness & Woes: Revelation 8–11 — Bitter Warnings, Sweet Gospel, Faithful WitnessesDescription: Revelation 8–11 gives us three powerful movements: the trumpets (warning judgments that call the world to repentance), the little scroll (the sweet gospel that also brings bitter cost), and the two witnesses (the church's courageous testimony in a hostile world). In this message, Pastor Timothy shows how God uses partial judgments to awaken hearts, how the church must “eat the scroll” and speak, and how faithful witnesses may be opposed now but will be vindicated when the seventh trumpet sounds and Christ's kingdom is revealed.Key Scriptures: Revelation 8–11; Joel 2; Luke 10:18–19; John 10:10; Matthew 16:18Takeaways:Choose brokenness over bitterness—God's warnings are mercies meant to lead to repentance.Eat the gospel, expect the cost, and speak anyway.Wait, War, Witness until Jesus returns.Join us next Sunday at 10am (Vintage Church, Lodi). Subscribe for weekly sermons & resources.

Pastor Timothy shows that “God’s mercy and love creates a people who speak the truth in fear-casting love.”

Sevens: Prayer, Trumpets, and Warning Mercy (Revelation 8:1–6) Revelation aims at faithfulness today. Pastor Timothy teaches how the silence in heaven, incense with the saints' prayers, and the first trumpet judgments call the church to pray specifically, repent quickly, and endure faithfully. With echoes of Exodus and Jericho, and a clear explanation of recapitulation, this message shows how God uses our prayers—joined to Christ's intercession—to advance His purposes.Text: Revelation 8:1–6; cf. Revelation 9:20–21; Luke 22:31–32; John 21; James 4:2; Romans 8:34 Series: More Than Conquerors (Revelation) | Speaker: Pastor Timothy Stewart | Date: Sept 7, 2025Takeaways: • Prayer is a real means God uses to accomplish His ends • Warning judgments are severe mercy—meant to lead to repentance • Suffering drives us toward bitterness or repentance—choose repentance

Description: Every family has culture and tradition — and the family of God is no different. From the very beginning, God's heart has been to create a family that multiplies, flourishes, and reflects His glory.In this message, Pastor Timothy walks us through Genesis 1–11, showing how God is the fountain of family, how sin breaks families apart, and how Jesus restores us into God's new family through the gospel.

Pastor Timothy shows that our identity defines who we are,and asks then how should we live?

One moment of extravagant worship can shift heaven and change history. Mary broke her jar, pouring costly oil in love. The demon-oppressed man bowed in surrender and was set free. Both worshipped beyond their limits and reached for a limitless God. One extravagant act. Heaven responds with extravagance. Will you pour it all out?

When was the last time your worship cost you something? True worship isn't casual, it's costly. It's not about what's convenient. It's about what He's worth. Not for our gain, but for His glory. Love moves us beyond the expected. And when we give Him our all, we step into destiny. Let your worship be wild. Costly. Real. Because He is your exceedingly great reward
