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 New JerusalemSeries: Revelation - Jesus Wins!Scripture: Revelation 21:9-22:5Speaker: Dr. Jimmy A. LongLocation: Grace Fellowship of GreensboroDate: Sunday, November 16, 2025
Call: Psalm 149 Offering: 1 Chronicles 29:9 Scripture: Revelation 3:7-13 NASB The Church of Philadelphia, though small and marginalized in its cultural context, is commended by Christ for its unwavering faithfulness, holding fast to His word and name despite persecution from both Roman authorities and Jewish opponents. Jesus, identified as the holy, true one with the key of David, affirms His sovereign authority over the kingdom, declaring that no one can shut the open door He has provided, emphasizing that true access to God comes through Him alone, not through human institutions or religious heritage. He promises to vindicate His faithful people by humbling their enemies, making even those who falsely claim to be God's people bow before them, and to keep them secure through the coming hour of testing, not by removing them from the world, but by guarding and sustaining them in faith. The ultimate reward for perseverance is eternal permanence in the temple of God, where believers will bear the name of God, the New Jerusalem, and Christ's own new name, signifying their eternal belonging in the heavenly city. This passage calls all believers to prioritize faithfulness over influence, to trust in Christ's power rather than their own strength, and to remain steadfast in the truth, knowing that their eternal security and significance are rooted not in worldly success, but in Christ's unchanging faithfulness.

Are we comfortable… or close to Jesus? In the final letter to the Seven Churches, Anthony Delaney unpacks Jesus' message to the church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14–22) — a community that thought it had everything, yet made Jesus sick with its lukewarm faith. Laodicea's comfort had numbed its passion. They were rich in possessions but poor in spirit. Yet even in His rebuke, Jesus offers mercy: “Be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.” This powerful message calls us to break free from complacency and expand our intimacy with God — to open the door, reignite the fire, and rediscover wholehearted devotion to Jesus. Join us for worship, prayer, and this final call in our Revelation series as we ask:
Call: Psalm 147 Offering: Matthew 6:19- Scripture: Revelation 2:18-29 NASB
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)

Call: Psalm 146 Offering: Acts 20:35- Scripture: Revelation 2:12-17 NASB
What doors is God opening in your life? In week seven of our series VII Letters to the Church, Lisa Lee shares Jesus' message to the church in Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7–13). Though small and weak, this was the church that made Jesus smile. They held onto His Word, stayed faithful to His Name, and in return He promised them an open door that no one can shut. Jesus still opens doors today — doors of opportunity, calling, and mission. They can't be forced open, and they don't depend on our strength, but when He opens them, we are invited to step forward in faith. Join us for worship, prayer, and this inspiring message as we ask:
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
Are we living off reputation — or truly alive in Christ? In week six of our series VII Letters to the Church, Anthony Delaney unpacks Jesus' words to Sardis (Revelation 3:1–6). Outwardly, Sardis looked strong and vibrant. In reality, Jesus says, “You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” This sobering message reminds us that what matters is not our reputation but our reality before Jesus. A church (or a life) can coast on past glory while the Spirit's fire grows cold. But Jesus offers a way back: Wake up. Strengthen what remains. Remember the gospel. Repent. Join us for worship, prayer, and this timely call as we ask:
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.
How do we tell the difference between what just sounds Christian and what is actually true? In week five of our series VII Letters to the Church, Matt Donaldson unpacks Jesus' words to the church in Thyatira (Revelation 2:18–29). Outwardly thriving and fruitful, they were failing in one vital area — discernment. By tolerating false teaching, they were accepting what Jesus rejected. Jesus calls His church not to compromise but to cultivate discernment: to know His voice so clearly that anything counterfeit is exposed. He searches hearts and minds, warns against deception, but also promises authority and the morning star to those who remain faithful. Join us for worship, prayer, and this timely message as we ask:
Call: Psalm 144 Offering: Proverbs 3:9- Scripture: Revelation 2:8-11 NASB The sermon centers on Christ's message to the church in Smyrna, emphasizing that suffering is not a sign of divine abandonment but a mark of faithful discipleship. Christ identifies Himself as the First and the Last, the One who was dead and has come to life, affirming His sovereignty over history and victory over death, which provides profound comfort to a persecuted church enduring poverty, slander, and imprisonment. Despite their material loss and external trials—particularly from those claiming to be Jews but acting as a synagogue of Satan—Christ declares them rich in Him, underscoring that true wealth is found in Christ alone. He calls them to remain faithful even unto death, promising the crown of life and assurance that the second death, eternal condemnation, will have no power over those who overcome through faith in Him. The passage calls believers to fix their eyes on Christ, the faithful High Priest who knows their struggles and sustains them by His grace, reminding them that their temporary afflictions are outweighed by the eternal glory awaiting them in Him.
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

The Bible begins in a garden but ends in a city—a recurring theme that highlights how cities, and the people within them, matter deeply to God. The City of God, in contrast to cities that have strayed from the Creator's design, offers eternal presence, rest, and welcome. There is a future hope where suffering, distance, and division are no more. But that hope isn't reserved only for the afterlife; it is a present reality that shapes how we live, endure, and love today—because God's presence dwells within us and among our cities. When we place our hope in Christ, we are reassured by His Spirit, spurred to victory through merciful rest, and welcomed by the radical grace that defines the City of God, where His promises endure and persist as our lasting hope. --- Scripture: Revelation 21:9-22:5 (NRSVUE) Vision of the New Jerusalem 9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And in the spirit[a] he carried me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It has the glory of God and a radiance like a very rare jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It has a great, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates are inscribed the names that are the names[b] of the twelve tribes of the Israelites: 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel[c] who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16 The city has four equal sides, its length the same as its width, and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits by human measurement, which the angel was using. 18 The wall is built of jasper, while the city is pure gold, clear as glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each of the gates is a single pearl, and the street of the city is pure gold, transparent as glass. 22 I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 Its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. 26 People will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. The River of Life 22 Then the angel[d] showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life[e] with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him; 4 they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
