Matthew 117 Matthew 20:20 ESV   20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something.       Matthew 20:21 ESV   21 And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom."       Matthew 20:22-23 ESV   22 Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?" They said to him, "We are able." 23 He said to them, "You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."       Psalm 16:5 ESV   The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;   you hold my lot.       Isaiah 51:17 ESV   Wake yourself, wake yourself,   stand up, O Jerusalem,   you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord   the cup of his wrath,   who have drunk to the dregs   the bowl, the cup of staggering.       Acts 12:1-2 ESV   About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. 2 He killed James the brother of John with the sword       Revelation 1:9 ESV   I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.       Matthew 20:24-28 ESV   24 And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, 28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."       2 Corinthians 1:7-9 ESV   7 Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.   8 For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.       Luke 22:31-32 ESV   31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."       2 Corinthians 12:7-10 ESV   7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.       1 Peter 4:12-13 ESV   12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.       Romans 5:1-5 ESV   Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.       1 Peter 1:6-9 ESV   6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.       Hebrews 12:7, 11 ESV   7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?   11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.       Romans 8:18 ESV   18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

SÁBADO 8 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2025 TU DOSIS DIARIA DE ESPERANZA "Yo Juan, vuestro hermano, y copartícipe vuestro en la tribulación, en el reino y en la paciencia de Jesucristo, estaba en la isla llamada Patmos, por causa de la palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesucristo. Yo estaba en el Espíritu en el día del Señor, y oí detrás de mí una gran voz como de trompeta…" (Apocalipsis 1:9-10) El apóstol Juan, un buen administrador de los misterios de Dios, llegó a la isla de Patmos como exiliado; pero, su ministerio se hizo más fuerte y productivo al recibir la revelación del Apocalipsis. Entregarle al apóstol esta enorme responsabilidad nos habla de una fidelidad probada y un amor a Dios permanente. Administrar los "misterios" de Dios, que dejan de serlo cuando Él abre el momento adecuado para revelarlos, es un privilegio; así lo disfrutó el apóstol. La pregunta es: ¿Cómo abríamos reaccionado nosotros? Lo que para los enemigos de Dios fue una orden para hacer daño a su Iglesia, para Dios fue la oportunidad de usar a su siervo para la revelación más importante del futuro de la humanidad. Donde quiera que un siervo de Dios se encuentre, a veces en lugares inimaginables, Dios tiene un propósito que solo ese siervo tiene la capacidad de cumplir. Juan estaba "en el Espíritu" en el Dia del Señor. No queda duda de que era un buen administrador de los misterios de Dios. Seamos flexibles ante las decisiones del Maestro.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchJUEVES, 06 DE NOVIEMBREUN TESTIGO DEL PODER DE DIOSLos que se asocian íntimamente con Dios pueden no ser prósperos en las cosas de esta vida; a menudo pueden pasar por pruebas y aflicciones muy severas. José fue calumniado y perseguido porque decidió conservar su virtud e integridad. David, aquel siervo escogido de Dios, fue perseguido por sus malvados enemigos como si hubiera sido una bestia de presa. Daniel fue lanzado al foso de los leones porque se mostró fiel e inconmovible en su lealtad a Dios. Aunque a Job lo despojaron de sus posesiones mundanales y afligieron su cuerpo de tal manera que sus familiares y amigos llegaron a aborrecerlo, él conservó su integridad y su fidelidad a Dios. Jeremías hablaba únicamente las palabras que Dios colocaba en su boca, y su claro testimonio airó de tal manera al rey y los príncipes que lo arrojaron en una mazmorra repugnante. A Esteban lo apedrearon porque no dejaba de predicar a Cristo y este crucificado. A Pablo lo encarcelaron, lo azotaron con varas, lo apedrearon y finalmente lo mataron, porque fue un mensajero fiel en llevar el evangelio a los gentiles. El amado Juan fue deportado a la isla de Patmos "por causa de la palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesucristo". Estos ejemplos de inquebrantable confianza humana en la fuerza del poder divino, constituyen un testimonio para el mundo acerca de la fidelidad de las promesas divinas, de su constante presencia y de su gracia sustentadora. Mientras observa a estas personas humildes, el mundo es incapaz de discernir el valor moral que Dios les adjudica. Es una obra de fe reposar serenamente en Dios en la hora más sombría —no importa cuán severamente probada y azotada por la tormenta—, porque sabe que nuestro Padre está en el timón. Únicamente el ojo de la fe puede ver más allá de las cosas temporales y discernir el valor de las riquezas eternas. Un gran genio militar conquista las naciones y sacude a los ejércitos de la mitad del mundo, pero muere frustrado en el exilio. El filósofo que recorre todo el universo, tratando de descubrir las manifestaciones del poder divino para gozar de su armonía, a menudo no logra contemplar en esas maravillas la Mano que las formó a todas. "Mas el hombre no permanecerá en honra; es semejante a las bestias que perecen". Salmo 49:12. El futuro de los enemigos de Dios no se ve iluminado por la gloriosa esperanza de la inmortalidad. Pero los héroes de la fe poseen la promesa de una herencia de mayor valor que cualquier riqueza terrenal: una herencia que satisfará los anhelos del alma. Puede ser que el mundo los desconozca y no los tome en cuenta, pero en los libros del cielo están inscritos como ciudadanos. La recompensa final de aquellos a quienes Dios ha hecho herederos de todas las cosas, será una grandeza exaltada, y un inagotable y eterno peso de gloria (Exaltad a Jesús, 10 de noviembre, p. 322). VIERNES, 07 DE NOVIEMBRE: PARA ESTUDIAR Y MEDITARAlza tus ojos, "El verdadero amor no se puede ocultar", 22 de abril, p. 126.

Revelation1:9-20 | Pastor Rick Packinghouse's Sunday evening worship service from November 6, 2025. John writes from exile on Patmos, reminding the church that he is their brother in trials and that Jesus is Lord over every ruler; on the Lord's Day he hears a trumpet like voice declaring, I am the Alpha and the Omega, and he is told to write to seven churches. Turning, he sees seven golden lampstands and the Son of Man walking among them, dressed as the true High Priest with hair white as snow, eyes like fire, feet like burnished bronze, and a voice like many waters; in his right hand are seven stars, a sharp two edged sword proceeds from his mouth, and his face shines like the sun. John falls as though dead, yet Jesus touches him and says, Do not be afraid, I am alive forever and I hold the keys of death; then he gives the outline of Revelation, the things seen, the things that are, and the things after this, explaining that the stars are the messengers of the churches and the lampstands are the churches themselves. - Greg Opean - Sunday, November 2, 2025

Historians described Patmos as a small, rocky, and rugged island in the Aegean Sea. It was a place of banishment for criminals. A place of isolation. From this desolate location, John received divine visions and wrote the Book of Revelation.

The courier carrying the book of Revelation from John on Patmos followed a circular route through the seven churches—starting in Ephesus, then Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and finally Laodicea. Laodicea, the last stop, was a wealthy Phrygian city renowned for its banking industry, fine black wool, and medical school, which produced a famous eye ointment. 

Revelation 1:9-20 ESV I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.” Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Today we begin a new sermon series as we study the book of 1 John. The Apostle John was used by God to write five books in the New Testament. He wrote the gospel that bears his name, he wrote three general epistles, and he was also given the Revelation as he was exiled on the Isle of Patmos. The letters of John have a clear connection with John's gospel in this way: the gospel was written that we would "believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing we may have life in his name" (John 20:31). The letters were written "to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:13). In other words, we need to believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah sent from God and we should have assurance of the salvation found only in Christ. Scripture text is 1 John 1:1-4.

(Revelation 1:1-2, 9-10 ) Journeying With John: We all love to meet God in good circumstances and on good days. The Lord sometimes chooses to meet us in the loneliest moments of life. Regardless of your circumstances you can hear from the Holy Spirit.

Dr. Randy White | Modern Service | Revelation 1:9-20I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11 which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches

Join us this Sunday as we continue our journey through the book of Revelation. When John finds himself isolated and weary on the island of Patmos, he is given a vision of Jesus unlike any other. He is radiant in glory, yet standing among His churches. In a world that can feel dark and uncertain, this passage reminds us that Christ is not distant or disinterested. He walks among His people, holds them in His hand, and speaks words of life and comfort.

Lessons from the Isle of Patmos

A Sunday mornings sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. I was challenged the other day by Melissa Archer's reflection on the worship found in the book of Revelation. She writes: “The hymns heard in heaven are to be the liturgy of the churches on earth.”    When we read the book of Revelation we find John alone on the isle of Patmos, seeking the presence of Jesus. Our faith is a communal faith, it is a pilgrimage together as God's people with Jesus and with one another. It is powerful to recognize when Jesus comes, in all His eternal glory and stands before John, He speaks to His disciple and through His disciple to all His people. Like the book of Leviticus, most of us set out to read the book of Revelation and make it through the letters to the seven churches of Asia before we lose steam. After those divine messages to the churches, the apocalyptic and prophetic nature of Revelation are overwhelming. And that's the point. The revelation is revealing. It's prophetically revealing of what's to come, but prophesy is meant to be applied today. In Revelation 4, we enter the throne room of heaven and are overawed by the overmorrow's worship! We are submerged by the flood of “Holy Holy Holy, is the Lord God Almighty!” It is the liturgy of eternity, and this revelatory glimpse of forever is meant to shape our worship today! When we see Christ in apocalyptic splendor, we are reminded not only of the eternal tomorrow, but of our creation. Through Jesus, all things were made (Colossians 1.16-20) and at the present, we are living within His creation. The time to worship Him is now. He is worthy to receive glory and honor and power, yes for all eternity, but nothing is stopping us from exalting Him today! Take time today, right now even while you read these words, and praise our Lord and God, who is worthy. For the one who was and is and is to come, is Holy Holy Holy!

In this powerful introduction, we dive into the awe-inspiring vision of Jesus Christ given to John on the island of Patmos. Discover what the "revelation of Jesus Christ" truly means, the significance of the seven churches, and the powerful imagery that sets the stage for everything to come.

John receives instruction to write down this book while he's worshiping in exile.

The holy Apostle was, by the world's reckoning, the nephew of our Savior, since his mother Salome was the daughter of St Joseph the Betrothed. Called 'the beloved disciple,' St John was the only one of Christ's disciples to follow Him to the Cross. He was entrusted by the Savior with the care of the most holy Theotokos, and became like another son to her, providing for her care until the day of her repose. He preached the Gospel of Christ throughout Asia Minor, especially in Ephesus. During the persecutions of the Emperor Domitian, he was taken in bonds to Rome, where he was subjected to various tortures; but when he emerged from these miraculously unharmed, he was exiled to the island of Patmos, where he wrote the book of Revelation. After the death of Domitian, he returned to Ephesus and there wrote his Gospel and Epistles. He reposed in peace at a great old age. When his disciples later opened his grave, they found that his body was not there. He is called the Theologian because of the sublimity of theological expression in his New Testament writings.

JOHN IN EXILE stars career stage and screen actor Dean Jones as the exiled saint on the island of Patmos. We were excited to review this filmed stage production, since we're huge fans of other one-man pieces of Bible fanfiction and inspirational slop—like Curt Cloninger's WITNESSES (a true VHS classic) and Mike Adkins's A MAN CALLED NORMAN, a beloved sermon distributed by Focus on the Family. Both of those productions feature their leads absolutely killing it and drawing heavy laughter and applause from captive audiences. ST. JOHN IN EXILE is no exception. The late Dean Jones was clearly a trained actor, with a film career dating back to the late 1950s, including many classic family films such as THAT DARN CAT and THE COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES. He kept acting well into his golden years, with his final performance in the 2009 Christian movie GOD PROVIDES. For the math-challenged, that's over 50 years of regular acting work, much of it devoted to uplifting the Word of God or making wholesome entertainment for families. These decades of experience pay off in a captivating performance as St. John. Jones is a huge asset to the material, which would be extremely boring without his investment in the role. Unfortunately, the script in ST. JOHN IN EXILE is a little too straight-laced to match the wild, wonderful turns of WITNESSES, which we love for its constantly shifting perspective and Curt Cloninger's 10+ voices and personalities. Still, the film raises some interesting questions about biblical history—insisting that the same St. John authored both the Gospel of John and Revelation, a belief once common but now challenged by contemporary scholarship. We only wish ST. JOHN IN EXILE had leaned into some insane end-times visionary type shit. Regardless, Dean Jones's performance and the film's enduring place in the Christian media video world make it a must-have for collectors and completists of the faith-based film genre.

More than Hype ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | September 14, 2025 1 John Series, Part 1: More than Hype 1 John 1:1-4 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY In the opening message of a new series on 1 John, Michael Shockley introduces us to the incredible journey of John the Apostle - from a barefoot boy splashing in the Sea of Galilee to the last living eyewitness of Jesus Christ. Through the colorful backstory of "Johannan" (John's Aramaic name), discover how a hot-tempered fisherman's son became known as the "Apostle of Love." This message establishes that our faith isn't based on hype, legend, or secondhand stories, but on the real, tangible experiences of people who lived with Jesus daily for three years. John's opening verses in his first epistle emphasize what he personally heard, saw, looked upon, and touched - making the case that the Gospel is more than hype, more than history, but the very Life of Jesus living in believers today. Core Message: The Gospel is more than hype, more than history — it's The Life of Jesus in us. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Story of John the Apostle - Born as "Johannan" in Bethsaida, son of Zebedee and Salome - Growing up as a fisherman with calloused hands and stormy nights - Transformation through John the Baptist's preaching and baptism The Call to Follow Jesus - John the Baptist pointing to Jesus as "the Lamb of God" - The moment John's spiritual compass found "true North" - Jesus choosing both John and James as disciples despite their rough edges - The nickname "Boanerges" (Sons of Thunder) for their fiery tempers - Jesus' correction when they wanted to call down fire on Samaritans John's Special Relationship with Jesus - Being part of the inner circle with Peter and James - Witnessing the Transfiguration and Jesus' glory shining like the sun - Sitting beside Jesus at the Last Supper, asking bold questions - Being the only disciple to stand at the foot of the Cross - Receiving the personal mission to care for Mary, Jesus' mother From Death to Resurrection - John's heartbreak at Jesus' death, not understanding the promise of resurrection - Sprinting to the empty tomb on Easter morning - Seeing and touching the Risen Christ for forty days - Receiving the Great Commission to spread the news worldwide - Becoming "a man on fire for the mission" after Jesus' ascension A Life of Persecution and Ministry - Multiple arrests and beatings for preaching the Gospel - Watching his brother James become the first apostle martyred - All other apostles dying violent deaths for their faith - Moving to Ephesus to father the local churches - Writing the Gospel of John to record previously untold stories Exile and Final Years - Surviving execution by boiling oil through divine protection - Exile to the rocky island of Patmos for his continued witness - Receiving and recording the visions that became the Book of Revelation - Returning to Ephesus in frail old age but with powerful words - Writing three epistles recognized as Holy Spirit-breathed truth The Credibility of the New Testament - Written by eyewitnesses and those who interviewed eyewitnesses - Composed within decades of the actual events, not centuries later - Authors gained no earthly advantage - only persecution and death - Hundreds of people could have disputed fabricated details - The ultimate test: would you die for something you knew was false?

And it changed me forever." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: 1 John 1:1-4 - Key Theme: Eyewitness testimony to the reality of Jesus Christ - Historical Context: John writing as the last living apostle - Emphasis: Physical, tangible experience with Jesus ("heard," "seen," "looked upon," "handled") - Purpose Statement: Fellowship with God and complete joy in believers - Connection: The Word of Life manifested in human form ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You Question Whether Jesus Really Existed: - Consider the historical evidence from multiple eyewitness accounts - Remember these weren't legends written centuries later - The apostles gained nothing earthly and died for their testimony - Ask yourself: would you die for something you knew was false? - Examine the transformation in the lives of the eyewitnesses If You Feel Like Your Faith Is Just Ideas or Rules: - Understand that Christianity is relationship with a Person, not a system - Know that Jesus became physically present because we couldn't reach God - Remember that faith is about knowing Jesus personally, not just knowing about Him - Allow the reality of who Jesus is to transform your daily experience - Let His life live in you rather than trying to follow external rules If You Feel Alone in Your Spiritual Journey: - Recognize that fellowship is a core purpose of John's message - Church isn't just a Sunday event but a family of believers - Connect with people who know your name and walk with you through struggles - Don't try to do life alone - God designed us for community - Find or create spaces where genuine spiritual fellowship can happen If Your Joy Feels Incomplete: - Understand that joy doesn't depend on pleasant circumstances - Remember that even good things like family have limitations - Don't base joy on what you have or what happens to you - Ground your joy in who Jesus is rather than temporary things - Seek the fullness of joy that comes through fellowship with Jesus If You Haven't Shared Your Faith Recently: - Ask yourself why you don't feel a nudge to share what you've experienced - Remember that healthy believers naturally spread the Good News - Consider what Jesus has done in your life that others need to hear - Be an eyewitness to His power and miracles in your own experience - Share your story of transformation and hope with others ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you've always thought of Jesus as just a historical figure, a good teacher, or even religious hype. But John's testimony calls us to something far greater - a personal encounter with the Living Christ. The same Jesus who walked dusty roads, ate with tax collectors, calmed storms, and rose from the dead is available to you today. Not as an idea to understand, but as a Person to know. Not as history to study, but as Life to experience. The little boy who splashed in Galilee became an old man who could say, "I have seen Jesus, heard Him, touched Him, and it changed me forever." Today, Jesus offers you the same life-changing encounter. Will you let His life live in you? ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Have you moved beyond seeing Jesus as just a historical figure or religious concept to experiencing Him as a living Person?

In this message from Revelation 1:1–20, we explore the powerful vision of Jesus Christ given to the Apostle John on the island of Patmos. Far from being just a mysterious prophecy, Revelation begins with a stunning portrait of Christ as Savior, Judge, and King. We'll see how John responds to this overwhelming vision—and how Jesus meets him with compassion and assurance. This passage reminds us that Christ is not distant; He is present among His people and holds the keys to life and death. Be encouraged and challenged as we encounter the risen Lord together.

Volgens Barbara is het herfstseizoen geopend en dat brengt een heleboel kopzorgen met zich mee. Kledingstress bijvoorbeeld, dus er moest geshopt worden. Het gaat steeds beter met de nieuwe pronte borstjes van Gijsje, ze verheugt zich op haar vakantie naar Patmos (al mogen de meisjes dan nog niet in de zon). Femke heeft de beslissing genomen om te stoppen met de Ozempic. Ze mag dan afvallen, maar lijf en geest trekken het gif (medicijn) totaal niet meer.

We’ve all heard the old adage, “If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.” But is that REALLY true? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week our guest introduced us to a step-by-step process that can teach us how to see work through a different lens than we have looked at it before and in the process teach us how to pursue truly purpose-driven, fulfilling work. For decades upon decades the lie that the Jewish people do not need the saving work of Jesus on the cross, but our guest says that lie is so dangerous because of the eternal consequences that come with believing it. He took us back to scripture to show how His role as the Redeemer is for all people in all nations and is pivotal to the God’s promise to restore the nation of Israel and redeem the other nations. The daughter of arguably the most respected evangelist of the 20th century and a highly respected Bible teacher in her own right, joined us for an eye-opening tour of the final book of the Bible. She helped us understand the importance of the final book of the Bible, why John was on Patmos and why there is a continual blessing to who read it. Times are unsettled in the Middle East, especially in Iran. The leader of one of the most important ministries to this nation joined us once again to discuss how the unrest is impacting the lives of believers in Iran and how we can pray for these fellow believers. Then we shared the powerful personal journey of a woman who came to the foot of the cross through the valley the occult and demonism. As we end another week, just one look at the news reminds us once again that we live in a broken, backward world. That’s why it is imperative to be watchmen and watchwomen on the wall in our homes, communities and churches. To that end we invite you for another probing examination of the stories making headlines this week through the clear, undiluted viewpoint of God’s word.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 56 Gary discusses general interpretative principles about the Bible and specifically, the book of Revelation. When people become Christians due to some scary interpretation of the end times taught by a well-meaning teacher, they often jump right to the last book to begin their initial reading of the Bible. This usually causes more confusion than clarification for them.

On the penal colony of Patmos for his faith, John and could easily have allowed himself to feel deeply discouraged, and even resentful at being ‘stuck' in such a dreadful place. No wonder we find him speaking of himself as being ‘our brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus! (Rev. 1:9) How grateful we and countless millions are that John resolutely overcame the plaguing ‘if onlys,' and kept his heart open to Jesus, thereby turning his disappointments into God's appointments. Jesus rewarded him first with a glorious awareness of how He is now in His glorious heavenly state, and then with a long series of visions of Heaven winning through in the battles to come on Earth that culminate in his return to rule on Earth.

In this powerful message, guest speaker Bruce Miller explores the transformative power of worship by walking through four biblical encounters with God—from Adam and Eve in the Garden to Jon on the island of Patmos. He emphasizes that worship is not about routine or checking off a box but about genuinely encountering the living God. Drawing from stories of guilt, suffering, failure, and loneliness, Bruce highlights how God reveals Himself as Judge, the Incomparable One, the Great “I Am,” and the Living One—and how these revelations lead to transformation in our own lives.

Historical context can bring incredible weight to the Bible. Take Revelation 1:9 as an example. John wasn't just casually writing from an island; he was exiled to Patmos, a place reserved for Rome's most serious criminalshttps://www.ryleyheppner.comhttps://apologeticscanada.com/ryley-heppner/

Like Jimmy Fallon's "Friday Thank You Notes," John of Patmos interrupts Revelation with seven letters to seven different churches in various cities. These letters reveal to us the diversity of Christian thought and practice in the ancient world, and pulls us back into the big, wild, vast ecosystem of God. 

The book of Revelation is both one of the most read and most misunderstood books of the Bible.  Attempts to “decode” or interpret the Apocalypse have often done more harm than good for the church.  Pastor Nathan Hoff and Pastor Dave Wollan will present a different approach to reading the Revelation, one more along the lines of a pastoral letter from Pastor John on Patmos to a beleaguered people. 

"Saint Irene, who was from Cappadocia, flourished in the ninth century. Because of her great beauty and virtue, she was brought to Constantinople as a prospective bride for the young Emperor Michael (8422-867); however, as St Joannicius the Great foretold, it was God's will that she assume the monastic habit instead. She shone forth in great ascetical labors, and suffered many attacks from the demons; while yet a novice, she attained to the practice of St Arsenius the Great, of praying the whole night long with arms stretched out towards Heaven (see May 8). God showed forth great signs and wonders in her, and she became the Abbess of the Convent of Chrysovalantou. She was granted the gift of clairvoyance and knew the thoughts of all that came to her. She appeared in a vision to the king and rebuked him for unjustly imprisoning a nobleman who had been falsely accused. Through a sailor from Patmos to whom he had appeared, St John the Theologian sent her fragrant and wondrous apples from Paradise. She reposed at the age of 103, still retaining the youthful beauty of her countenance. After her repose, marvellous healings beyond number have been wrought by her to the present day." (Great Horologion)

Scripture Reading: Revelation 1:9-20 The description of Jesus Christ, given in the first chapter of Revelation, is one of the most majestic pictures of our Savior found in the Scriptures. The awesome imagery is taken mostly from Old Testament passages and is meant to evoke from us the same reaction that this vision produced in John. While banished to the island of Patmos, John had the wondrous visions recorded in the book of Revelation.  In chapter 1:12-16, he sees Christ and he rehearses what he saw for us.  The person John saw was "like the Son of Man" (Dan 7:13).  He was dressed in a long robe (Dan 10:5; Exod 28:4) embroidered with gold, a garment of dignity, respect, and authority.  His hair was white like wool (Dan 7:9; Prov 16:31), signifying honor (Lev 19:32) and eternity (Dan :9).  His eyes were like a flame of fire (Dan 10:6; Rev 19:12), displaying judgment.  His feet were like polished bronze (Dan 10:6), representing glory, strength, and stability.  His voice was like the sound of torrential, rushing water (Dan 10:6), symbolic of majesty and power.  Out of His mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword (Rev 19:15), representing judgment.  When John saw this man … God the Son in all His glory … he fell at His feet, as if all the life had gone from him.  Jesus tenderly touches John and assures him that he need not be afraid.  Our response to Christ ought to be both profound awe, on the one hand, and heartfelt comfort and pleasure, on the other.  We hear in His voice the roar of torrential waters … and the whisper of a still small voice.  "Jesus, the very thought of Thee, with sweetness fills my breast . . ."

In the Bible? Praise is nearly always political. Certainly in the book of Revelation where crying out “Salvation belongs to our God” is a direct affront to the Emporer of Rome who claims salvation comes soley through him and his “Pax Romana”. And a post script to our series on Revelation and Resistance: Thanks be to God for artists like John of Patmos (and countless others across time and space!) who buoy communities seeking to be faithful to the Way of Jesus in the midst of and in direct resistance to the empire.Sermon begins at minute marker 3:37ResourcesBibleWorm podcast: Episode 650 - Revelation and Resistance - Praising God, Amy Robertson and Robert Williamson, JrChutzpadik definition, OED: “colloquial.

Exiled on Patmos, the Apostle John receives a vision from Christ and dictates the message we now know as Revelation to seven churches across Asia Minor. This Sunday we focused on Pergamum, a church living in the shadows of Roman power—called “Satan's throne”—yet praised for its steadfast faith and refusal to deny Christ even amid persecution. Christ commends their loyalty but rebukes them for tolerating the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans and calls them to repentance. He reminds us that open compromise with the world can dilute our witness and invites the faithful to overcome, promising hidden manna and the white stone of victory. May we, like the church in Pergamum, resist cultural pressures and faithfully proclaim that Christ is Lord above all.

Sunday Service: Revelation 1 introduces the Book of Revelation as a prophetic message given by Jesus Christ to the Apostle John through an angel, revealing events that must soon take place. John, exiled on the island of Patmos, receives this vision while in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. He describes a powerful and symbolic appearance of Jesus, who stands among seven golden lampstands and holds seven stars in His hand. Jesus identifies Himself as the First and the Last, the Living One who died and is now alive forever. He commands John to write down everything he sees and send it to seven specific churches in Asia.

Eso le pasó a Juan, pero en vez de pruebas de supervivencia, recibe las mejores vislumbres de lo que va a pasar en el futuro. Sí, estamos hablando del Apocalipsis, esa parte de la Biblia que parece sacada de una película de ciencia ficción.Juan estaba ahí, en Patmos, y no estaba precisamente de vacaciones. Estaba conectado con el wifi celestial y recibió un mensaje directo de Dios, un mensaje lleno de visiones sobre todo lo que se avecina y el regreso de Jesús, que promete ser más épico que un final de temporada.Aquí viene lo interesante: así como Juan recibió la información secreta de Dios, todos tenemos acceso a esa conexión divina. No se trata de tener superpoderes, sino de estar sintonizados con el canal de Dios. Como dice 1 Corintios 2:10, hay cosas alucinantes que Dios quiere mostrarnos, y todo lo necesitamos hacer es escuchar.Para captar esas verdades espirituales, necesitamos tener "auriculares" puestos, pero en el corazón y el alma. Al pasar tiempo en oración y sumergirnos en la Biblia, comenzamos a entender el mensaje de Dios, esas verdades profundas que él está compartiendo.Ahora, no es cuestión de pegarse al teléfono esperando una revelación. La cosa es buscar una conexión real, no una de esas de wifi que se cae, sino una conexión espiritual que no se cae ni se retrasa nunca. Cuando estamos en esa sintonía, empezamos a entender las cosas que Dios nos está pasando, como si tuviéramos una fuente interna de discernimiento espiritual.La historia de Juan nos recuerda que Dios está listo para compartir las escenas "detrás de las cámaras" con quienes realmente quieren saber. Y no se trata de tener un montón de likes [me gusta] o de ser un influyente espiritual. Se trata de mantener esa conexión con Dios al día, para entender el plan y no perdernos ni un episodio.Oración: Querido Padre: quiero esa sensibilidad espiritual para captar las verdades que tienes. Ayúdame a estar en la misma frecuencia, listo para recibir los mensajes celestiales y vivir con ese discernimiento que solo tú puedes dar. 

VIERNES 4 DE JULIO DE 2025 TU DOSIS DIARIA DE ESPERANZA “Yo Juan, vuestro hermano, y copartícipe vuestro en la tribulación, en el reino y en la paciencia de Jesucristo, estaba en la isla llamada Patmos, por causa de la palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesucristo. Yo estaba en el Espíritu en el día del Señor, y oí detrás de mí una gran voz como de trompeta…” (Apocalipsis 1:9-10) El apóstol Juan fue deportado a la Isla de Patmos, en soledad, a causa de la persecución a los cristianos. Sin iglesia, sin familia, sin hermanos que lo acompañaran, literalmente solo. Pero la Palabra de Dios nos dice que estaba en el Espíritu en el Día del Señor. Su fidelidad y compromiso se mantuvieron intactos y recibió la revelación del Apocalipsis. Nosotros tenemos iglesia, hermanos en la fe, dirección pastoral; pero ¿cómo está nuestra fidelidad a Dios cuando los problemas nos agobian? ¿Tomamos en serio nuestra relación con el Espíritu Santo? Que cada día que transcurra sea un día en el que vivamos en el Espíritu. (Gina Sánchez) -- Te damos la bienvenida a nuestras reflexiones diarias.

Daily Dose of Hope July 2, 2029   Scripture – Matthew 20:20-34   Prayer:  Almighty God, We rejoice in your perfect name.  We praise you and give you all the glory. We are grateful that you are a God who sits high and looks low.  Thank you for loving and caring for us.  We know that we fall short.  We know that we are not the people you want us to be.  But we want to do better.  Lord, help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you this morning.  In these next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers, hear our deepest needs...  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently doing a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are finishing up Matthew 20.   In today's passage, we meet a mama who wants what's best for her boys.  Don't most of us parents really want our kids to do well in their jobs?  This woman was no exception.  She wanted her sons, James and John, to be ahead of the other disciples, seen as most worthy by Jesus.  She asked that when Jesus comes into his Kingdom, he would have one of her boys seated on his right and the other boy seated on his left. She wanted her sons to have the places of highest honor. This was not a small request, nor did she have any idea what she was asking. Let's get this straight.  There isn't anything wrong with ambition.  There isn't anything wrong with wanting to excel.  That's actually pretty important if we want to get things done in our lives.  And this mother was just looking out for her sons.  But I want you to picture this.  Here comes this mother with her grown sons in tow.  These are adult men, not little kids.  If we read the parallel passage in Mark 10, it's obvious these “boys” were in on the discussion.  They wanted to ask the same thing.  Maybe they felt like Jesus would be more empathetic toward their mama.  One thing that is interesting here is that their mother clearly believes that Jesus will come into his Kingdom.  She had faith in Jesus, so we have to give her kudos for that.  There were a lot of people doubting Jesus at this point.  So that is good. However, the competitiveness between the disciples was not good.  Even up through their time at the Last Supper, the disciples were always talking about who was the best and/or most important.  This mother and her boys coming to talk to Jesus about hierarchy in the Kingdom was one of several incidents in which the disciples just get things totally wrong.  God's Kingdom was not like earthly kingdoms with people wielding power over other people.  It wasn't about status or places of honor.  What this woman doesn't understand, nor do the disciples, is the servant nature of Jesus' Kingdom.  To be great in God's Kingdom, one must sacrifice much, more than they could ever anticipate.  They underestimated the level of sacrifice and humility required for Jesus' Kingdom and overestimated their own importance.  Don't we so often do the same?  Jesus is kind.  He doesn't put them down.  He just says, “You have no idea what it will cost you to sit next to me.”  It won't be long before Jesus will head to Jerusalem, disciples in tow, knowing he will be killed.  When Jesus asks if they understand the cost, they don't.  But he is asking them to suffer with him.  It will be Jesus who will die on the cross for the sins of the world, but all his disciples (including us) are also called to suffer by being faithful to him. And the disciples do suffer.  After Jesus' death and resurrection, the disciples are all in.  They are willing to suffer and die in Jesus' name.  James became the first disciple to die.  He was executed under Herod Agrippa I in Acts 12.  John was the last disciple to die; he ended up exiled on the island of Patmos.    At the end of this portion of Scripture, Jesus says something quite profound (he was known for doing that, you know.) He says the leaders of this world lord their power over the people.  But “not so with you.”   Four powerful and life-changing words.  The disciples are to behave differently.  We are to behave differently.  Jesus' followers are not supposed to be seeking earthly power and fame.  We are to be seeking Jesus.  How we get this so messed up.   The chapter ends with another miracle.  This seems appropriate.  Jesus is showing his disciples, “This is who we are.”   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Apocalipsis 3:20El libro de Apocalipsis es uno de los más fascinantes de toda la Sagrada Escritura, tanto desde el punto de vista espiritual como literario. En una rocosa isla llamada Patmos, Juan «vio» y «oyó» «la revelación de Jesucristo» (ver Apocalipsis 22:8), y posteriormente se dedicó a transmitirla por escrito.Uno de los detalles más interesantes que surge al leer este enigmático libro es el que encierra la palabra «puerta». Esta palabra, en griego thura, aparece tres veces en el libro (Apocalipsis 3: 8, 20; 4: 1).* En dos de esas tres menciones, la «puerta» está relacionada con Dios y en ambas ocasiones la puerta está «abierta».Tanto en tiempos de Juan como en el presente, una puerta abierta es sinónimo de oportunidad, así como de acceso libre y garantizado.  ¿No es ese un hermoso mensaje para hoy? De parte de Dios, las puertas están siempre abiertas para sus hijos. Las oportunidades están garantizadas para ti. Tienes libre acceso para que en tu vida se cumpla el propósito que Dios preparó para ti desde antes de la fundación del mundo. Y las puertas no solo están abiertas para ti, sino que como es Jesús mismo el que las abre, nadie las puede cerrar (ver Apocalipsis 3: 8). Pero no olvidemos que hay una tercera puerta en Apocalipsis.La tercera mención a una «puerta» (gr. thura) aparece en Apocalipsis 3:20. Sin embargo, a diferencia de las otras dos menciones de esta palabra, esta «puerta», que a menudo se ha equiparado con el acceso al corazón humano, no está abierta. Mientras que Dios deja sus puertas abiertas y garantiza el acceso a la salvación y sus bendiciones, a menudo nosotros mantenemos cerrada la puerta que permite a Dios entrar en nuestras vidas. ¡Qué gran contraste!Hoy, como cada día, Jesús está tocando a la puerta de tu corazón. Él desea otorgarte las más ricas y abundantes bendiciones. ¿Cómo le responderás?

The apostle John came as close to being a time traveler as any man is likely to be. When he was sitting near the coast on the isle of Patmos one day, a great voice behind him said: “I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia.” And what John saw was enough to make our hair stand on end.But we have to decide what it is we are reading when we pick up the Book of Revelation. There is a view that says John traveled in vision and saw the future. He saw people and events and tries to describe them for us as best he can. One source on this, for example postulates that John actually saw a helicopter assault in this vision, but having never seen a chopper, he described them as locusts. Mind you, he didn't say they were like locusts. He said they were locusts. The fundamental assumption here is that John was carried into the future and saw real events. And from that assumption comes another one. The events described in Revelation have, to all intents and purpose, already happened. Because John has seen them.“Now wait a minute”, I can hear someone say, “How can these things have already happened and be in the future at the same time?” We have walked smack into a paradox. Look at it this way. If they haven't happened, how could John have seen them as they happened. Before we blow a mental fuse, let's back away from this and consider another way of looking at the Book of revelation. John did not travel forward in time. He had a vision, and he wrote it down. That vision has come forward to us as the Book of Revelation.Someone once said that prophecy is history written in advance. I don't think so, and let me try to explain why. For history to be written in advance, it must already exist. That means you and I have no choice. The future is already written and all we can do is walk through it. Our choices are already written down and we can't change them. But I don't believe either the future or the past exist. The past no longer exists. The future does not yet exist. This has serious implications for the study of the Book of Revelation. So how should we look at this book?
