It's Easter and we are completing our study in Revelation by digging into the final few lines of the entire Bible. What we discover is surprising. Jesus is returning! And He invites us to join Him in calling thirsty ones to embrace the life that His victory bought for us.

"It is DONE" are three of the best words ever spoken by Jesus because they mean that everything has been made new! In this hope filled message, the final pages of the Bible encourage us that not even death can separate us from the love of Christ. Death itself is "DONE"!

As we come near the end of Revelation, it becomes more and more clear that Jesus wants to marry His people and pour out His kindness on us forever. This message is deeply encouraging and will help to put the fight back into you.

In Revelation 17 & 18 John uses a graphic image to depict God's judgment against the systems of human government that have brought nothing but abuse and oppression to the world. But we also see God's unwavering commitment to His people. If you are His, be encouraged. He has His eye on you!

There comes a point in history when God calls "time of death" on planet earth. Today we begin the final judgment of God on earth. In this message, God pours out wrath against false religion.

The goal of Revelation is to put the fight back into you so you get back into the fight. This message focuses on Revelation 12-14.

We continue our deep dive into the Book of Revelation by asking this question, "How much pain does it take to make you change course?" In the seven trumpets, we see God's kindness colliding with our stubbornness, and it brings us a lot of pain. Have we reached our breaking point yet?

In this message, we get the veil between the natural and the spiritual worlds pulled back and we begin to see what is really going on in our world. With open eyes, we can begin to fight the battle that God is calling us to fight. Let's go!

In Revelation 4 & 5, John receives a vision of the Throne of God and it is breath taking! This literally changes EVERYTHING! God bless you as you listen.

What does Jesus see when He looks at His Church? Revelation 2 & 3 contain seven personal messages from Jesus Himself to His Church. Our obvious threats are not our greatest threats. Jesus reveals the obstacles about which we need to focus.

The first thing John sees in Revelation is so breathtaking that he cannot find the language to express it. John sees JESUS and He is awesome. It makes sense that John would see Jesus first. After all, a clear vision of Jesus brings the pain of life into proper perspective. Buckle up. Jesus is stunning.

When studying the Book of Revelation there are four important factors that we need to keep in focus. If we do not keep all four of these in mind as we study, we can easily become wonky in our interpretation of this wonderful book.

Many people are seeking their identity these days. In this message, Pastor Doug asks the question for us corporately. Who are WE as a local church? One thing is certain, when we understand the majesty and glory of the Rock from which we have been cut, we will never underestimate ourselves again!

In this message, Michael teaches through Psalm 124. We learned that God makes us strong in order to use our strength to serve others.

If we do not properly grieve the losses of our past, they will weigh down our souls and produce a backlog of bitterness. In this message, Pastor Doug uses Psalm 22 as a template for processing grief. Please see the attachments for a resource that will help you walk through your own losses using Psalm 22.

Caston wraps up our Christmas season with a message on worship. We often think of worship as singing, raising hands, or other expressive forms. However, true worship is much deeper.

In this message, Pastor Kenny takes us to Matthew 2 and teaches us about how worship leads us to hope. You feeling hopeless? Worship! Set your affection on God and you will soon find that hope returns to your soul.

In this message, Matt dives into Luke 2 and reminds us that when we give our hopelessness to God, He can not only restore our hope but redeem it for good purposes.

Losing hope is an occupational hazard of life on earth. In this message, Doug talks about the difference between earthly hope and heavenly hope and how we can maintain it.

Today we welcomed Kenny Sullivan to New River Church. In this powerful message he talks about the power of gratitude.
