When God Doesn’t Tell Us Everything

In Revelation 10, John sees a mighty angel, an open scroll, and a message that is both revealed and hidden. This sermon reminds us that God has not told us everything about His plan, but He has told us enough to trust Him, obey Him, and proclaim the gospel. Even when we live with unanswered questions, we can have hope because Jesus reigns, God’s promises will be fulfilled, and His mission continues until Christ returns.

Seen in the Struggle

In Genesis 29:31–35, Leah’s pain of being unseen becomes the place where God meets her with compassion. This sermon reminds us that even when others overlook us, God sees our struggle, hears our longing, and invites us to find our worth in Him. Join us as we discover hope for the hidden, weary, and wounded heart.

The Kingdom Behind the Chaos

In Revelation 9, the fifth and sixth trumpets reveal a terrifying picture of judgment, demonic torment, and death. Yet even in the darkest scenes of Revelation, we are reminded that evil is not sovereign—God is. The powers of darkness are real and destructive, but they are also limited by the authority of God. This sermon explores how Revelation 9 exposes the true end of rebellion against God. Sin promises freedom, security, and life, but apart from Christ, it leads only to bondage, torment, and destruction. For believers, this passage is not meant to produce fear or speculation, but faithful endurance. The safest place to be is not in the comfort of the world, but sealed by God and loyal to the Lamb.

When Heaven Answers Earth

Revelation 8 shows the silence of heaven, the prayers of God’s people rising before Him, and the warning that His judgment is real, holy, and near.

Who is Able to Stand?

"Who is able to stand?" This haunting question from Revelation 6 finds its answer in chapter 7. Before judgment falls, God pauses to seal His people—marking them as His own, securing them for eternity. The vision reveals two stunning truths: God saves a remnant people (the 144,000 from Israel's tribes), and that remnant becomes an innumerable multitude from every nation, tribe, and language. What begins as preservation ends in celebration. These are the ones who've washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb, coming through tribulation into eternal comfort. Your greatest need isn't physical safety—it's spiritual security. Stop reading world events as proof God has lost control. He hasn't. He's sealing His people even now. The Lamb who was slain will shepherd you through every trial and wipe away every tear. That's not just a promise for someday—it's your security today.
