Paul shares his personal story to demonstrate that the message of Christ is not a human invention but the result of divine revelation. His life was radically transformed by grace, and ours can be too.
Paul rebukes the Galatians for deserting Christ and insists that salvations rests solely on the true gospel of grace.
We conclude our journey through Revelation with a powerful vision of God making "all things new." We'll explore the magnificent reality of a new heaven and earth, where God Himself dwells with His people, bringing eternal peace, comfort, and joy.
In Revelation 19 and 20 we witness the dramatic return of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, who brings justice and final victory against evil. Together, we will unpack the events of His final war, His sovereign reign during the millennium, His ultimate defeat of Satan, and the reality of the final judgment before the Great White Throne. Be encouraged and challenged as we see that history is moving decisively toward a day when Christ's victory is complete, justice is perfectly fulfilled, and the new eternal realities are established.
Revelation 15 - 16 unveils seven golden bowls brimming with God’s wrath, poised to be poured onto an unrepentant world. Before any drop is spilled, the victorious saints sing their praises to God. In these chapters, we are shown that judgment is a holy response to persistent evil. This passage urges every hearer to examine whom we worship, trust in the righteousness of God’s justice, and remain clothed in Christ while we watch for His return.
In Revelation 14, the vision shifts from the chaos of the beast to the victory of the Lamb. We see Christ standing on Mount Zion with His redeemed, hear the final proclamations of warning and mercy from three angels, and witness two great harvests, one of salvation, the other of judgment. This chapter presents a clear call: follow the Lamb with unwavering devotion, resist the seductive power of the world, and remain faithful in the face of pressure. As the battle between light and darkness intensifies, Revelation 14 reminds us that the outcome is sure. The Lamb will reign, and those who follow Him will find eternal rest. Choose your allegiance, follow the Lamb wherever He goes.

At the time the New Testament was being written, some believed there was no resurrection, and this teaching was taking root in some of the minds of those in the early church. The Apostle Paul addressed this head-on near the end of his letter to the church in Corinth, and in so doing, teaches us important truths, so important that your life and eternity depend upon them.
In Revelation 13, the dragon, Satan, escalates his war against the followers of Christ by summoning two powerful beasts, one rising from the sea, the other from the earth. These beasts are agents of deception and domination, seeking to draw the world into false worship and to persecute all who remain loyal to the Lamb. In the face of such opposition, God’s people are called to patient endurance, faithful resistance, and spiritual wisdom. This passage challenges us to recognize the battle behind the scenes and to stand firm in our allegiance to Christ.
