Have you been serving, staying doctrinally sound, and doing all the “right” Christian things—but feel your love for Jesus growing cold? In Revelation 2, Jesus praises the church in Ephesus for their diligence, discernment, and perseverance, but then gives a sobering rebuke: “You have left your first love.”This episode is sponsored by The Master's University. To learn more about how you can invest in a college education devoted to Christ & Scripture, visit: https://www.masters.eduIn this episode, we unpack what it means to leave your first love (not in sequence, but in prominence) and why a cold, apathetic heart is spiritually dangerous—even if your life looks strong on the surface. Using the Challenger space shuttle tragedy as an illustration of a “missing critical piece,” we look at Christ's clear prescription for spiritual apathy:Remember where you've fallen (preach the gospel to yourself)Repent (this is a heart issue, not just burnout)Return to “the deeds you did at first”We also discuss what those “first deeds” can look like: renewed hunger for God's Word, fervent prayer, love for God's people, evangelistic zeal, and honest confession—not just going through the motions.If you've been asking:“Why don't I love Jesus like I used to?”“How do I overcome spiritual dryness?”“What does Revelation 2 teach the church today?” …this conversation is for you.Scripture: Revelation 2:1–7

Scripture: Revelation 5:1-14 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.In Revelation 4 and 5, John is taken in the Spirit to heaven. He is shown the heavenly throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders. The majesty and splendor are breathtaking. Then, he saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne, sealed with seven seals.And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice,“Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.Revelation 5:2-4John's sorrow eases when one of the elders announces that someone has “triumphed.” He looks to see the mighty Lion (the conquering warrior-Messiah from the Root of David) but instead sees the striking figure of a “Lamb” as if it had been slaughtered, standing in the center of the throne room.And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that He can open the scroll and its seven seals.”Revelation 5:5The Lamb is victorious and has been given all power and authority from the One seated on the throne. When He takes the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fall down and sing a new song as they worship the Lamb.And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, for You were slain, and by Your blood You ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”Revelation 5:9-10Song: Worthy is the Lamb – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alJOStsdw3s&list=RDalJOStsdw3s&start_radio=1

Scripture: Revelation 4:1-11 Title: Worship at the ThroneSHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.In Revelation, chapter 4, we see a marvelous example: The Throne of God in heaven. Worship there is endless, unceasing, constant, and everlasting.John is the last remaining disciple, living on the Island of Patmos. He is given a specific assignment from God. John is transported in the Spirit to heaven and receives a fresh view of God's majesty and power.After this, I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.Revelation 4:1-2 The throng surrounding the throne of God consists of twenty-four elders, seated on twenty-four thrones, and four living beings. The four living beings never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever.Revelation 4:9-10 He is holy. The Lord God Almighty is worthy to receive glory and honor and power. Song: Behold Him - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_izK4kI_wmA&list=RD_izK4kI_wmA&start_radio=1

In this episode of the Story of Scripture, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the scrolls, trumpets, witnesses, and beasts of Revelation. While at first glance, it all appears complicated and confusing, this imagery has deep roots in the Old Testament, and provides simple, compelling message for the church today. 

In this episode of The Story of Scripture, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester begin the book of Revelation. A letter that is sometimes ignored, sometimes minutely studied, and often misunderstood. What can be learned from the opening of this letter and what is its surprisingly simple message?

Call: Psalm 2 Offering: Acts 20:35 Scripture: Revelation 5:1-7 NASB Revelation 5:1 introduces a divine scroll sealed with seven seals, representing God's final decree of judgment and salvation, rooted in the Old Testament pattern of covenant lawsuits against unfaithful Israel. This legal document, complete and final, is held in the right hand of God and cannot be opened by any creature, symbolizing the inescapable weight of divine justice. The only one worthy to open it is the slain Lamb—Jesus Christ—whose sacrificial death and resurrection qualify Him as both the judge and the redeemer, fulfilling the role of the rejected Messiah who overcomes. His worthiness is grounded in His victory over sin and death, making Him the sole mediator of the new covenant that supersedes the old, bringing judgment upon covenant unfaithfulness while establishing a new people of God. The scene in heaven, with worship from the four living creatures and the 24 elders, underscores the cosmic significance of Christ's redemptive work, where His sacrifice is the foundation of both judgment and eternal worship, calling believers to live in the freedom and hope of the new covenant, united in a community that transcends earthly divisions.

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 1:1-8SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. The book of Revelation starts with a greeting and a blessing that blend elements of prayer and doxology. These verses strongly praise Jesus Christ (verses 5-6), and verse 7 offers a prophetic statement about His second coming. "John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne." Revelation 1:4 The apostle John (the disciple Jesus loved) is addressing actual, historical churches. He speaks to them in the same way as the New Testament letters. These seven churches represent those from every era since the first century and show common patterns of obedience and disobedience. "Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So, it is to be. Amen."

Sermon: The Great White Throne JudgmentSeries: Revelation - Jesus Wins!Scripture: Revelation 20:11-15Speaker: Dr. Jimmy A. LongLocation: Grace Fellowship of GreensboroDate: Sunday, November 2, 2025

The Book of Revelation is often misunderstood as a frightening prediction about the end times, but its true message is one of hope and redemption. Many people abandon reading it halfway through, missing the beautiful conclusion where good triumphs over evil. After describing battles and judgment, Revelation reveals God creating a new heaven and earth where He dwells permanently with His people. In this renewed creation, there is no more death, pain, or tears—God Himself wipes them all away. The scary story transforms into the ultimate story of hope, reminding us that no matter what difficulties we face today, we already know how God's story ends: the Lamb wins.

Scripture - Revelation 2:12–17To the Church in Pergamum[12] “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword.[13] “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. [14] But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. [15] So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. [16] Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. [17] He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.' (ESV)

Scripture - Revelation 2:8–11To the Church in Smyrna[8] “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.[9] “‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. [10] Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. [11] He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.' (ESV)

Sermon: The Rider on the White HorseSeries: Jesus Wins!Scripture: Revelation 19:11-21Speaker: Dr. Jimmy A. LongLocation: Grace Fellowship of GreensboroDate: Sunday, October 19, 2025

Revelation 12-14 presents a cosmic battle between the dragon (Satan), the beast (anti-God empires), and the Lamb (Jesus). The woman clothed with the sun represents Israel and the church, while the dragon's fury explains why bad things happen to good people. The beast symbolizes any system demanding loyalty at the cost of faith, whether ancient Rome or modern consumerism and nationalism. In contrast, the Lamb conquers through humility and self-sacrifice, not force. These chapters call us to examine whose jersey we're wearing and whose song we're singing, challenging us to live as worship becomes resistance against fear and empire.

Revelation isn't a horror story but a message of hope wrapped in apocalyptic imagery. Written to persecuted churches in Asia Minor, it unveils the spiritual reality behind suffering and shows that Jesus remains sovereign even amid chaos. The four horsemen represent systemic evils like political oppression, war, economic collapse, and death—forces that appear in every generation. Yet the crucial message is that none of these terrors operate outside God's authority. For believers facing fear, Revelation offers the assurance that death isn't the final chapter and that Christ, not chaos, gets the last word.

In this episode of FACTS, Stephen Boyce and Pat May explore one of the most striking Marian images in all of Scripture—Revelation 12. Was the Apostle John given a heavenly vision of the bodily assumed Virgin Mary? And is the Queen of Heaven not merely a title, but a reality rooted in biblical prophecy and fulfilled in Christ's glorified Mother?Stephen and Pat walk through the imagery, theology, and early Church interpretations of this apocalyptic vision. They also address common Protestant objections and show how the assumption and queenship of Mary harmonize with Scripture, not contradict it.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 #FACTSPodcast #StephenBoyce #PatMay #QueenOfHeaven #AssumptionOfMary #Revelation12 #BiblicalMariology #CatholicTheology #MaryInTheBible #Theotokos #JohnsVision #Apocalypse #ChurchFathers #HeavenlyLiturgicalVision #MarianDoctrine
