For lawbreakers and thieves
For the worthless, the least

oh my heart, how can I face you now?
when we both know how badly I have let you down
and I am afraid of all that I've built

Want to do some more studying on your own (or start a study group)? There are tons of great resources to help you mine The Book of Revelation for all it's worth. Here are a few commentaries that cover the entire book.
Triumph of The Lamb, by Dennis E. Johnson
Top pick!
An easy-to-read commentary with serious scholarship under the hood. Johnson sticks to the main plot and doesn't loose you.
This is a conservative work from a Californian pastor with lots of help on applying the Word to our lives today.
*We will have a copy of this book available for purchase on Sundays.
The Lamb Wins, by Richard Bewes
A brief overview of the entire book. Bewes does a great job of getting right to the point.
This is a short read and, as such, will leave some wrestling with the finer issues of interpretation. This book shines when it comes to connecting the dots and keeps the plot going.

The Book of Revelation (NIGCT), by G.K. Beale
Technical, expensive, and only for those looking to grapple with the text word by word. Some working knowledge of biblical greek is helpful.
Many scholars argue that this is the best contemporary work on the book. A great addition to a long list of academic treatments we appreciate: Beasly-Murray, Hamilton, Osbourne, Bauckham, and Mounce.
Sovereign Grace Ministries hosted the Transfer Conference in Orlando, FL a few weeks ago and now all the messages are online.

Thanks for your patience as our old website broke the feed and you had to do things the old fashion way...not cassette tapes but close. Go here to learn more and subscribe today.Cities have rhythms...busy times, quiet times, times of celebration and times of contemplation. Seasons play a part. Holidays play a part. School schedules too.
Our city celebrates Easter.
Even if they don't understand what the church is celebrating. Even if they don't believe what we believe. Still families will gather, business will close, and people will feast.
Some will visit a church.
Let's be the church where our city feels welcome to stop in and hear the Good News of the Resurrection! Let's preach the gospel to the lost on Sunday, March 31st!
Three ways we can work together:
- Pick up some Easter invites on Sunday and distribute them to your friends, coworkers, classmates, supermarket checkout guys, barristas, barber, massage therapist, tattoo artist, coach, landscaper, landlord, neighbor, teacher, clients, and awkward gym buddies.
- Replace your Facebook cover photo with an easter invite (Click here.)
- Distribute flyers door-to-door on Saturday evening, March 30th, 6:00pm. We'll meet outside the church offices, break into groups, and canvas the neighborhoods.
