Day 1: The Divine Origin and Purpose of Revelation
Bible Reading: Revelation 1:1-3
Devotional: As we begin our journey through the Book of Revelation, let's consider this profound text's divine origin and purpose. God's intention for revealing this message is not to confound us but to unveil His plan and encourage steadfast faithfulness. Reflect on how the Lord is revealing His purposes in your life today. What does it mean to you that this scripture is God-breathed and intended for your encouragement?
February 18 Sermon: The Revelation of Jesus Christ
It's fun to be a part of when something is revealed to people who are unexpected, when they are waiting for something, and my mind immediately goes to those renovation shows that are on television. While watching those shows, you get insights into what the owners of the house would like to have done to update their home. And then we're taken along on the process of remodeling, but we're never really given the full view. During the course of the heart of the show we're given some updates but we don't ever see the full finished project, and the shows are edited in such a way that we have a very good idea of what the exterior and the other rooms are supposed to look like, what they might look like, but we don't really see the full thing until we get to the end. And then, right before the final commercial break, we get a preview of the reaction of the owners of the home and they're gasping. We are excited to see the full reveal.
