VII: Letters to the Church
A Study of the Book of Revelation
We live in uncertain times. The pace of life is fast, culture feels divided, and people are searching for solid ground to stand on. It’s not all that different from the world the early church faced. About 60 years after Jesus rose from the dead, the church found itself struggling and trying to hold on to its identity as God’s people in the middle of pressure, persecution, and distraction.

It’s into that world that Jesus speaks — through the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation — to seven real churches in real cities. His words are both comforting and challenging. They offer encouragement and correction, praise and warning. And they aren’t just ancient words for ancient people… they’re words for us today.

So as we study these letters together, let’s not just read what Jesus said to them, let’s be ready to hear what He wants to say to us. Because his voice still speaks and He’s still shaping His Church today.

This Easter, join us as we celebrate the glorious, victorious, and powerful resurrected Jesus. In a world filled with uncertainty, the resurrection reminds us that Jesus holds the future and our lives in His hands. Whether you feel weary, afraid, or in need of hope, Jesus speaks words of life: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.” Come and celebrate the risen King who sees us, knows us, and walks with us today. Pastor Ryan will speak from Revelation 1:1-20 in his sermon message, “Larger Than Life.”

Jonah’s story isn’t just a children’s tale — it’s a profound invitation to confront uncomfortable truths about our lives and God’s relentless grace. Though it challenges us to believe the impossible, Jesus saw it as central to his own death and resurrection, calling it “the sign of Jonah.” This is a story of running and returning, of stubbornness and surrender, revealing God’s deep compassion for all people. In the end, Jonah’s journey points us to a world transformed — not by human effort, but by the overwhelming grace of God.
