"Jesus is Great" from Revelation 1:9-20

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.


The book of revelation talks about judgement
revelation in greek word means apocalypse, it is the book for those who are seeking the truth.

James 5:7-8
7Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. 8You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near.



For us to endure hardship we need the Holy Spirit and let us be overflow with the Holy Spirit to endure everything as all strength are found in Jesus.

When we are in the Spirit, it is easy for God to speak to us and hear God's voice.

The seven (7) churches in Revelation:



  1. Ephesus

  2. Smyrna

  3. Pergamum

  4. Thyatira

  5. Sardis

  6. Philadelphia

  7. Laodicea


Daniel 10:5-6
5I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of the finest gold around his waist. 6 His body was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.


Bronze symbolizes judgement.
His sound is like rushing waters means His word has power and authority and must be heard - simply listen to the voice of God.

God's word can wash and transforms us. And it can go to the deepest part of our heart if we only allow it to penetrate.

Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.


Pastor's Message
Psalm 44:21b He knows the secrets of the heart


Man can identify what's inside our hearts by what comes out of our mouths, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The psalmist wrote that God knows the secrets of the heart. In other words, He knows what's going on inside our hearts, such as the hidden sins, our struggles, anger, unforgiveness, the sin we habitually do and others things. God is omniscient. We need to have integrity and be honest to Him.

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
