From the Pulpit...

What does Revelation 1 tell us and how does it help us cope during the current times? Pastor John O'Dell shares five points Christians need to have firmly grounded in our minds during these current times: 1) John is a Christian writing to a Christian, we need to be born again if we are going to cope in these current times. We live a hope that non-believers fail to possess. 2) We need to see Jesus as He is, that He is the authority seated on the thrown and in complete control. 3) Possessing dual citizenship on earth and heaven. As Christians, we know our place is Heaven and believers are passengers or pilgrims passing by. 4) We need to live by faith in Him and not by fear. 5) We are not to be afraid of these current times. Some are deeply troubled that America is falling apart. It is, and will continue to do so as predicted in Revelation. We must continue to trust in Him that His will be done, whether through judgement or blessing.

Our Scripture reading was found in Deuteronomy 28:1-35.
