In today's message we examine Jesus' letter to the church at Smyrna in Revelation 2. Pastor Shane shares the history of persecution and martyrdom in Smyrna and relates it to questions that we should ask ourselves about our faith.

Our final message in the series examines the difference between a command, a calling, and an invitation, focusing on Isaiah 6. Pastor Shane shares four important reminders that will keep us accepting the invitations of God, no matter how seemingly inglorious.

Pastor Shane dives into the book of Revelation, the seven churches, and the true meaning of persevering in the faith.

What happens when we die? Pastor Shane continues our series with an examination of the gradual revelation of Old and New Testament references to life after death for those who believe in Jesus and those who don't.

Part two of our miniseries examines Moses response to God's call via the burning bush.  Pastor Shane teaches that focusing on what we don't have or what we aren't able to do in our own power causes us to miss the very definition of a miracle: where God operates beyond our power for His glory. 

Pastor Shane teaches the first of two messages about the antichrist, the person who will embody the most intentional and direct opposition to the people of God in the end times. Our study of prophetic scripture reveals the possible sequence of events for the antichrist's rise to power and the conditions that will allow most people to accept and even appreciate his rejection of Christianity.

In part two of our series, Pastor Shane shares the three prevailing views of Christ's millennial reign following the rapture, including which he believes to be the correct interpretation of prophesy.  The message ends with a reminder of our responsibility to prepare our hearts for what God tells us will come. 

What's the difference between a command, a calling, or an invitation from God?  Should we respond to each differently?  Do each come with their own set of consequences?  Pastor Shane shares the the story of Revolution Church's invitation to pursue revival ahead of the 2024 Revival Week services. 

Our new series kicks off with a foretelling of the end times from the One who will return in glory, Jesus Christ. Using Mark 13 and a variety of parallel accounts (namely Matthew 24 and Revelation 6), Pastor Shane provides a scholarly interpretation of the sequence of events to come and challenges us to prepare for what Jesus told us will happen.

Today's sermon examines the story of Lazarus the beggar at the gate of the rich man (Luke 16:19-31) in the context of opportunities we have to serve people in need at our various campuses and potential campus locations. In particular, we learn about the Hope Homes galas that are happening around the country and how we can help those who have been laid at our gates.

Many people say they believe in Jesus, but do they believe the words that He says? In today's message, Pastor Shane shares his life verse (John 15:5) and the key to producing fruit in the kingdom of God, beginning with an understanding of what it means to abide in Christ.

Our series continues with an examination of the second commandment ("Love your neighbor as yourself.") in the context of the greatest commandment. Pastor Shane explains how our love for others springs from our love for God and provides a practical application of loving other in the example of Deuteronomy and the launch of Hope Homes.

In this special Father's Day 2024 message, Pastor Shane addresses the desire for greatness that either motivates or plagues men (and many women) throughout their lives, leading to depression and midlife crises. At the heart of the matter is a distortion of God's purpose for our lives, particularly the definition of greatness. Learn the true definition of greatness and how you can find instant purpose and meaning no matter where you are in life.

When we've been wronged, it's easy to seek justice on our own, but Pastor Shane teaches that when we do that, we limit our ability to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Join us as we unpack what's really going on inside of each of us when we've been offended, and discover how seeking revenge is really a lack of faith in God's love for us.

Join us this week as Pastor Shane explores Acts 4:32, where the early church was "one in heart and soul." We'll examine what unity isn't as well as the biblical definition of what it is. True unity agrees with God over people. Through an agreement on priority, pursuit, prize, and prayer, we can strive to embody the authentic oneness of the early church.

In Mark 12:30, Jesus answers the question posed to him about which commandment is the greatest. He recalls Deuteronomy 6:5, that we should love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and strength. But Pastor Shane warns of barriers to loving with all, using instructions for battle from Deuteronomy to highlight ways we might be halfhearted instead of wholehearted.

Of all the traits of Nehemiah, one stands out as most important throughout his story of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem and rebuilding the nation of Israel: humility. Pastor Shane highlights four ways that the weapon of humility made possible the work of Nehemiah, keeping him on course as he fought a battle for the Lord. (Message begins at approximately 41:46)

What role does work have in the Kingdom of God? How are we to understand grace, especially in contrast to striving? And what does this have to do with love God with our all? Pastor Shane continues The Greatest Commandment series by drawing largely on the writings of Paul to show how a proper understanding of grace can change our approach to faith and works.
