As we continue to read through the book of Revelation, the powers of evil are represented by beasts and dragons. But our God? Our God is… a Lamb. Strange, right? In this message, we’ll unpack why this is so important not only to our understanding of God character and...

Revelation is known to be one of the more intimidating and controversial books in the entire Bible. Years of late night televangelists, rapture best-sellers, and strange conspiracies have left many of us unsure about what it really means – and why it matters. This...
