Revelation 6 as the Lamb opens the seals and brings forth a series of cataclysmic events. The four horsemen—conquest, war, famine, and death—serve as sobering reminders of our world’s brokenness and the harsh reality of judgment. We’ll hear the desperate cries of martyrs, the cosmic upheaval shaking the heavens, and humanity trembling before the Lamb’s wrath. Yet amidst all this intensity, we uncover a powerful truth: Jesus, the Lamb, is firmly in control. Although the imagery is unsettling, it directs us toward the ultimate hope of God’s righteousness prevailing.

This message explores the majesty of a Savior who, through His sacrifice, holds the scroll of our lives in His nail-scarred hands. We see how His reign offers hope in the face of life's uncertainties, calling every creature in heaven and on earth to worship and empowering us to live with renewed courage under the authority of our worthy King.

In Revelation 4:1-11, where John sees God seated in glory, ruling over all creation. Lightning flashes, thunder roars, and heavenly beings cry out, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty” (v. 8). The elders fall before Him, laying down their crowns, declaring, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power” (v. 11). This passage reminds us that worship is the heartbeat of heaven. When we recognize God’s sovereignty, our response should be surrender and praise. As we gather, let’s open our eyes to see the One who reigns forever!

In Revelation 2:1-17, Jesus speaks to the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamum. As we explore this passage, we'll see Jesus as the One who walks among His churches, knowing our struggles and drawing us to faithfulness. His promises remind us that every challenge we face is an opportunity to overcome through His strength, and His reward is greater than anything this world can offer.
