Sep06WEEK16MorningStar Rising, Part 1by Chris ReedThere is no better time in history to be alive than now! I would not trade places with any generation. We are on the verge of the release of God’s glory we have been talking about for years. In fact, I believe with all my heart the date has been set. I want to share about the morning star rising. We often see the morning star rise in the sky just before the sun comes up for a new day. Now we have come to the last days, and we are waiting for Jesus, the Morning Star, to return. I...

Aug30WEEK15The Lion and the Lamb Are the Same Man, Part 3by Chris ReedYou may have heard of Jesus Christ being referred to as “the Lion and the Lamb.” Jesus is referred to as “the Lion of the tribe of Judah” only one time, in Revelation 5:5. However, Jesus is referred to as “the Lamb” twenty-five times in the book of Revelation alone. The attributes of Jesus Christ as the Lion and the Lamb help us learn more about His nature. His identity as the fierce, powerful Lion shows the intensity and power of His redeeming love. His identity as the meek, harmless Lamb shows the sacrificial love of Jesus who laid down...

Aug23WEEK14The Lion and the Lamb Are the Same Man, Part 2by Chris ReedAs a believer, the Bible says you should, “conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot.

Aug16WEEK13The Lion and the Lamb Are the Same Man, Part 1by Chris ReedIf you want to fully comprehend God, you will be frustrated. He is infinitely multidimensional, meaning He doesn’t always fit in our “box.” It will take you all eternity to fully discover His infinite self. In the meantime, God will continually unveil new and greater sides of Himself to you, and you will see the greatness of His glory. This will only increase as we get closer to His second coming. Let’s look at one side of God, as shown in Revelation 5: “ And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll...

Aug10WEEK12Perfecting Loveby Chris ReedJesus once had a Pharisee ask Him which was the greatest commandment under the law. He replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37) . We are commanded to love the Lord, but what kind of love we have for the Lord also matters. In John 21, we read about Peter in a state of remorse and shame. A few days prior, he had denied Jesus just before His crucifixion. Although Peter had promised to follow the Lord even to die with Him, he had...
