The Hands of Jesus

He’s Been There

Revelation 2:8-11 · Revealing the Lion and Lamb · 38 min When your faith costs you everything — your income, your freedom, your life — does it hold? Smyrna's church lost it all and refused to bend. Jesus speaks to them not as a distant King but as one who has been there: tested, imprisoned, killed, and risen. What He promises them, He promises you.

Preparing the Soil

What kind of ground is your soul right now? Jesus' Parable of the Sower reveals why the same seed lands in four different ways — and the difference is never the seed's fault. Discover what surrender, humility, forgiveness, and grace add to the soil of your life, and how to bear fruit even in your driest season.

Ephesus, Don’t Lose Your First Love

Revelation 2:1-7 ESV · Revealing the Lion and Lamb 46 min You can be doctrinally sound, suffering for Christ's name, and faithfully guarding the truth — and still have abandoned your first love for Jesus. This passage asks how passion cools without warning, names the quiet dissatisfaction that sustained conflict breeds, and calls you back to the garden where God always wanted you.

The Hands of Jesus

Revelation 1:9-20 ESV · Revealing the Lion and Lamb · 42 min What do you do when your circumstances tell you God has abandoned you? John writes from a prison island — not bitter, but worshipping. This sermon unpacks a vision of the glorified Christ that reframes suffering, corrects how you read your circumstances, and calls you back to the church you were made to serve.

He Who Is

Revelation 1:4-8 ESV · Revealing the Lion and Lamb · 48 min You know Jesus as the lamb who died for you — but do you know Him as the Almighty? Revelation 1:4-8 peels back a one-sided view of Christ to reveal the God whose name is I Am: sovereign judge, eternal ruler, and the one every eye will see.
