Good Morning “Already Sealed by The Spirit”.  Today we dive into Revelation 7.First a little review…- John is in the Throne Room of Heaven witnessing the opening of the first 6 seals.  The 6th seal resulted in Catastrophic Natural events and the inhabitants of the earth crying for the mountains to fall on them.  That brings us to chapter 7.“After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners...  Read More

Good Morning “Tribulation Observers”. Today we are in Revelation 6.  If you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior - you will observe the events that are about to unfold from heaven.  As we wrapped up yesterdays chapter we saw John in the Throne Room of Heaven.  Jesus the only One worthy of opening the scroll and its 7 seals, and all the creatures in Heaven worshiping Him.  “I watched as the Lamb open...  Read More

Good Morning “Priests to Serve our God.”  Today we are in Revelation 5.Continuing from Revelation 4 we find John still in the Throne Room of Heaven.  In Gods right hand is a scroll, with writing on both sides.  Typically only legal or land agreements had writing on both sides of the scroll - so this is significant.  Most scrolls were sealed with a wax seal, that they might not be opened until they...  Read More

Good Morning “Soon to be Raptured.”  Today we are in Revelation 4.Ever worry about “End Times” events?  I mean, we are about to get into what could be some pretty scary verses in Revelation.    However; if you know Jesus, and you know The Word you should have peace knowing what He has said to be true.  It is absolutely true that things are going to get ugly - very ugly.   The World will face 7 yea...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who Dine With Jesus.”  Today we are in Revelation 3.In my 20+ years as a Youth Pastor one of the questions I get most, in some form or another, is, “Where is the line?”  “How far can I go with my girlfriend?”  “Is it ok to lie if it’s for someone’s benefit?”  “Is speeding a sin?”  As soon as students turn 21 they want to know, “Should Christian’s drink alcohol?”  “How many is o...  Read More

Good Morning “Hearers of What The Spirit Spirt Says to the church’s”. Today we are in Revelation 2.We see the first 4 of the 7 church’s addressed in this chapter.  Each church has things they are commended for.  After commended by the Words of Jesus for things they are doing well He informs 3 of the church’s that He has something or something’s “against them.”Remember these were actual church’s, b...  Read More

Good Morning “Blessed by Revelation.”  We’re in chapter 1 of the book of Revelation.  While exiled on the Island of Patmos the Apostle John receives a Revelation from Jesus Christ brought to him through an angel - A vision shown to him.  It was shown not spoken so John must interpret what he saw when at times he likely struggled to explain it - thus the symbols we see.  As Christians it’s common t...  Read More

Good Morning “Contenders for The Faith.”  Today we read Jude.Jude was the brother of James and Jesus.  Jude appears to write this letter to a group of believers who like the rest - had some issues.  False teachers had slipped in among them.  They convinced some that they had received “dreams” that were “inspired.”  These dreams led them to distort their teaching, pollute their bodies and live by t...  Read More

Good Morning “Doers of What You’ve Been Told.”  Today we are in 3 John.  John wrote a letter to one of the church’s within the community he cared for introducing and commending some fellow Christians he was sending to them.  One of their leaders named Diotrephes did not recognize Johns authority and so refused to accommodate them.  He threatened to throw anyone out of the church who did.  Despite ...  Read More

Good Morning “Truth Walking Children.”  Today we take a look at the one chapter letter of 2 John.  Have you ever noticed how quickly a lie spreads?  The Truth although supremely powerful seems slower to move.  It’s weird.  Almost as if there were some driving force behind the lie or deception. Never forget the spiritual battle we wage daily.  John has recently received a visit from some of the mem...  Read More

Good Morning “Eternal”.  Today we wrap up Johns first letter with Chapter 5In closing John reminds us that Gods love should compel us to repent.  True love for God results in a changed life.  With the Holy Spirit we have overcome the world, and all of its evil.  These believers struggled to believe Jesus came in the flesh.  Remember they believed the flesh was evil.  As we get to verse 13 he discl...  Read More

Good Morning “Over Comers.”  Today we are in 1 John 4.John starts by discussing false prophets and teachers led by deceiving spirits or rather demons.  Yes there are angels all around us.  Let’s not forget 1/3 rebelled with Satan and are roaming around also.  They are focused on derailing anything God is doing.  They will not acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, come in the flesh.  Our knowledge o...  Read More
