There are many perspectives on the prophetic nature of the book of Revelation. From tackling the strange and vivid imagery to parsing out the curious timelines presented, Christians have worked to unpack John’s vision for the past 2000 years. But does this type of debate about Revelation obscure what Jesus is trying to teach us through the last book of the Bible? Or is it possible to still learn important lessons that can impact our current (and eternal) life? This week we’ll look at a few key passages from Revelation and discover how we can hear Jesus clearly together.

The book of Revelation is often considered to be a confusing and complicated book of future prophecy. But the truth is that the opening chapters of Revelation feature the risen Jesus himself giving practical insight to his followers. And his direction in those early chapters is clear: we need to stay alert and focused on following him, despite the increasing challenges we face. In this first week of our three-week walk through Revelation, we’ll hear what Jesus has to say to his Church, take his message to heart, and move toward a closer and more fulfilling relationship with him.

What kind of faith endures—and how do we pass it on? In two personal letters from the Apostle Paul to a young church leader named Timothy, we discover the key to leaving a legacy of faith: a life anchored in truth, shaped by character, and strengthened through perseverance. Real faith doesn’t just last—it multiplies. It changes us from the inside out and impacts the people we care about most. When we live with purpose and stay rooted in God’s truth, our faith can outlive us.

What does it look like to be the Church in a world that’s constantly pulling us in opposite directions? This week, we’ll look at two letters in the New Testament written to churches in an ancient city called Corinth - a city with a lot of similarities to Los Angeles! We’ll see how we can move from being to divided and distracted Christians, to a people known for their unity, holiness, and purpose. Let’s not just go to church—let’s be the Church.

What good is faith if no one can see it in action? This week we’ll look at a letter written to first century Christians from Jesus’ half-brother James. We’ll be reminded that faith isn’t just a belief we carry, but a life we live. Real faith shows up in real ways—through how we handle hardship, love others, and walk humbly with God. Like a fast Amazon order, faith is meant to move quickly from conviction to action. When we put our faith to work, it becomes powerful, practical, and transformative.

What if the solution to the world’s brokenness isn’t found in us, but in someone greater? This week, we begin series looking letters from the New Testament, starting with the Apostle Paul’s letter to the ancient Roman Christians. In it, we discover God’s global mission—a plan not just to save individuals, but to unite a fractured world through faith in Jesus. Beneath all our differences, we share a common need and a common hope. When we trust in Jesus, everything changes—from how we see ourselves to how we treat others. This is the good news: God’s love isn’t just for us—it’s for the world.

How can we share our faith in a way that truly connects with others? In this final message of our Pioneers series, we’ll explore how Paul, Christianity’s first missionary, engaged with philosophers in Athens. He met people where they were, using their own culture and beliefs as a bridge to introduce them to Jesus. We’ll reflect on how God can help us shift our focus from ourselves to communicating the Good News of Jesus in a way that resonates with those He wants to reach.

How can we stay strong in our faith when life gets tough? This week, we’ll explore the New Testament story of Paul and Silas, two Christians imprisoned for their devotion to Jesus. We’ll see how they kept their faith alive during suffering and used it as an opportunity to share God’s love. Their example will encourage us to worship God even when we don’t feel like it and remain a resilient witness to those around us.
