Vintage City Church // The Book of Revelation: Revelation 18-19:10 | Investing In Eternity // Dustin ScottAs we finish studying John's vision of the sinful indulgences and excesses of Rome in Revelation 18 and 19, we are asked this question: are we investing in the momentary pleasures of sin, or are we investing in eternity?

Vintage City Church // The Book of Revelation: Revelation 17 // Gary PetersRevelation 17 sets the stage for the completion of Christ's triumph over evil and the restoration of God's original design for humanity and the world.

Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality.”9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”1.     Have you ever struggled with the concept of hell? How have you dealt with it?2.     Have you noticed how often Jesus mentions hell and judgment? Is it relieving or frustrating to you the varied images and symbolic language about hell?3.     At death we become all heaven or all hell. How does this impact your view of eternity?4.     In view of the cross, do you trust God with eternity for yourself and those you love?5.     In what ways is a discussion about hell sobering for you? Is there anyone in your life who needs to hear the gospel from you?6.     Are you willing to trust Jesus with your doubts and uncertainties?

Sunday Morning Service given by Pastor Cory Sexton on February 23, 2025

The book of Revelation can feel like a lot—visions, lampstands, and even dragons make an appearance! But at its core, it’s a powerful reminder of God’s glory and ultimate plan. Revelation 4:11 tells us that He is worthy of all honor because He created all things and sustains them by His will. In this episode, Ash Couchman and Tilly Hosannee dive into the mystery of Revelation (we’re no experts, but we’ll give it a go!) and unpack what it truly means to honor and glorify God. Revelation is packed with powerful truths… and some pretty unique imagery. Let’s break it down together! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vintage City Church // Revelation 14: Judgment Day // Dustin ScottJohn has a vision of Judgement Day in Revelation 14, casting an enteral perspective over our lives. A lifelong decision to follow Jesus determines our eternity, and John reminds us that if we endure in Christ, we will cross the finish line.

Vintage City Church // Revelation 13 Pt.2 // Greg SandersIn this second part of Revelation 13, we consider what John's vision could mean for our current time in a way that is consistent with the historical context we have been studying. While we might not be sure what all the images mean, we know we are called to endurance and faith as we follow Jesus.

Vintage City Church // Revelation 13 // Greg SandersWe study how the early church would have understood John's vision in Revelation 13. With that context in mind, we carefully consider the identities of the beasts described in the chapter.

Vintage City Church // Revelation 12:11 // Dustin Scott. As we return to our Revelation study, we reflect on our strategic placement in this world and are encouraged to examine how we witness Christ through our testimonies.

The last book in the Bible, Revelation, has been misunderstood, misused, and misapplied perhaps more than any other book in Scripture. And it's no wonder. It's an ancient text far removed from our usual experience, filled with unfamiliar and frightful images. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you know the interpretive key to Revelation you can unlock its message, read it with understanding, and benefit from its practical and encouraging message.

We begin this series in Revelation considering the opening verses of Revelation 1.  Even in the introduction, we are led to see the way in which Revelation draws our attention to Jesus and the hope that is ours in Him.

1. Revelation is meant to point us to Jesus. (v. 1-2) 2. Revelation is meant to be obeyed. (v.3) 3. Revelation is meant to give us hope. (v. 4-8)

The book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus. John is sharing the Word and testimony of Jesus, so we should expect that the book is full of descriptions of Jesus. The sermon covers the descriptions of Jesus in nearly every chapter, giving us a greater understanding of who Jesus is and of His nature.

We are reminded that the true meaning of Advent and Christmas goes far beyond the festive imagery we're accustomed to as Luke Parker shares what John has to say in this powerful message. The Book of Revelation offers us a startling, awe-inspiring vision of Christ that challenges our comfortable notions. We're introduced to Jesus as the majestic 'Son of Man,' holding stars in His hand and speaking with a voice like rushing waters. This imagery, drawn from Revelation 1:9-20, presents Christ not as a helpless babe, but as the all-powerful, glorified Lord. The message encourages us to trust in this Jesus who is in absolute control, even when we feel isolated or in misery. Just as John received this vision while exiled on Patmos, we too can find hope and strength in the midst of our personal struggles. This Christmas, let's look beyond the familiar trappings and see the cosmic significance of Christ's coming – a reminder that He holds the keys to death and Hades, and that the end of the story has already been written in our favor.

This week's scripture passage(s): Revelation 1:1-20

Vintage City Church // The Book of Revelation: Revelation 7:9-17 // Greg SandersRevelation 7:9-17 reminds us that the Lamb came to save all of humanity. Jesus wants us to be counted in the limitless crowd worshipping the Throne. There is hope and encouragement in the power of grace, which remedies the problem of sin and chaos.

We're back at it again with Revelation!!!The book of Revelation is, in my humble opinion, one of the most confusing books in the Bible, if not THE most confusing book. There's dragons, beasts that come from the land and sea, prophets who breathe fire, horsemen, forehead marks, and more. Many people read this and think, "What is happening here?" This, coupled with so much confusing teaching, has made Revelation a book that is very intimidating to many people. So we thought, why not tackle it at Youth Group!Since we are starting this series, our first episode is dedicated to historical context, because if you do not understand what Revelation would have meant to it's original audience, you'll miss it's overall message. So join us as we unpack who wrote it, who they wrote it too, what every day life was like for a believer at that time, as well as the 3 genres that make up the book.If you are interested in learning more about Revelation, then welcome! We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)PS - The mic we used for this episode picked up Braden's voice spendidly, but for some reason I sound like I'm super far away. So if it sounds wonky to you, that's because it is! Bear with us as we figure out how our mic works, we promise it'll sound better next week.

Vintage City Church // The Book of Revelation // Dustin Scott  // Revelation 6: 1-11In Revelation 6:1-11, we see that the six seals represent various forms of divine judgment linked to human actions, specifically false worship and idolatry. As the people of God, we must adopt the worship culture of Heaven and make sure Jesus is the only one receiving our attention and praise.

Vintage City Church // Come Up Here // Greg Sanders  // Revelation 4:1 Pt.4When we avoid God's plans out of fear and choose our own paths instead, we miss out on His promises for our lives. Revelation 4:1 invites us to let go of our own answers, desires, and beliefs and trust God. We are to focus on the Throne Room and live in constant worship of the Lamb.

In Chapter 6 of Revelation we see the symbolism of the first six seals and the significance of God's judgement, the four horsemen, and the suffering of believers. We also learn we must stop fixating on the woes of a world under judgement, and instead fix our eyes on Him through pure worship and lives of faithful obedience.

Message by Chris Brown on April 13, 2024.
