Converse With God

Sun, Jan 31, 2016 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 13:1-10 Satan is a phony. Disguising himself as an "anti-Trinity" in Revelation ch. 13, the evil one reveals himself in the form of "the beast from the sea". Using the limited time and reach he's given until the Day of Christ's return and his ultimate destruction, the devil unleashes his fury. The only hope for overcoming the beast's attacks is through the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Through faith in Him, God's children patiently endure their trials and rely solely upon the faithfulness of their heavenly Father.

Sun, Feb 14, 2016 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 14:1-5 Turning away from the ugliness of Satan's "unholy Trinity," the Apostle John now helps us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Lamb of God, who alone is the Victor over the evil one. Based on Revelation 14:1-5, today's message helps us to look up to Jesus and find our place in the mass choir of His children, singing an endless "new song" of praise to the One who has redeemed us for a life of following Him.

Sun, Jan 24, 2016 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 12:1-17 The cast of characters in Revelation 12 includes a pregnant woman, a male child and a vicious red dragon. Enter into this striking scene today as we seek a better understanding of what God reveals about the saving work of His Son. Although Satan and his minions seek to devour God's Son and attack His people, they are hurled down in a sweeping display of everlasting victory that Jesus Christ gives to all who trust in Him.

Sun, Jan 17, 2016 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 11:14-19 Do you ever feel like your life is going around and around in an endless circle? Many people feel that way. Life in Christ is different, as we will see in this week's message. Revelation 11:14-19 gives us direction as we find hope in the promises of God and discover our place in His kingdom, which endures forever and ever!

Sun, Jan 10, 2016 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 11:1-13 This week's message from Revelation 11:1-13 marks the half-way point in our series through the Book of Revelation. As we continue to marvel at the mysteries which Jesus Himself reveals, today we see what it means to be an active participant in God's story of salvation. Equipped to be the "two witnesses," the church of Jesus serves her Savior by letting the world know who He is and what He has done.

Sun, Jan 03, 2016 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 10:1-11 In this first message of the New Year 2016, Pastor Jeff continues teaching from Revelation 10:1-11. This vision of the "mighty angel" reminds the church of the Lord's faithfulness and our mission: to bring God's Word to the world. Serving up some "Sweet 'n Sour Scroll", God feeds us with His hand and reveals to us His mystery--Jesus Christ Himself.

Sun, Dec 20, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 8:1-5 Silence. Ever heard of it? Silence is a rarity in today's noisy world. Revelation 8:1-5 says that heaven itself was filled with the sound of silence for a half an hour. This "Silent Night" prepared God's messengers for what He was about to do. As we approach Christmas, the silence we all need gets us ready for the ultimate deliverance that Jesus Christ comes to give.

Sun, Dec 13, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 7:1-17 Revelation chapter 7 uplifts our spirits with a beautiful vision of the kingdom of heaven. With the Father on His throne and with Jesus as the Lamb whose blood washes us clean, the multitude of saints sing their unending praise. Let's join with them! And as we do, we will be comforted by the numbered security we have as God's own people and by the innumerable blessings we unworthily receive from His gracious hand.

Sun, Dec 06, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 6:1-17 Revelation 6:1-17 is a lot like your Dad telling you something that, although at first you don't like to hear it, you know it's true and for your good. In today's message, Pastor Jeff helps us to better understand John's disturbing vision of the "Four Horsemen" and to find our hope, not in who we are or what we can do, but in the Prince of Peace--who He is and what He does to save His people.

Sun, Nov 29, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 5:1-14 As John continues his guided tour of heaven, he sees the Lamb at the center of the Father's throne. This is the place where Jesus Christ is meant to be--at the center of the universe and at the center of your heart and life. His shed blood purchases you for God and gives you the purpose of serving Him in His forever kingdom. Enjoy being shown many images of heaven in this week's message from Revelation 5:1-14.

Sun, Nov 22, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 4:1-11 Do you feel like the world is "going to hell in a hand-basket"? If you do, today's message is just for you! Drawn from Revelation 4:1-11, today's teaching gives us a vision of the throne room of heaven. Heavenly glory is the antidote to the hell-let-loose of our world. May your soul be encouraged as you take part in Revelation (Part 10) by Pastor Jeff Alexander.

Sun, Nov 15, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 3:14-22 In the letter to the church at Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22), Jesus says He is the "AMEN" of God. Confirming and affirming all that God is, says, and does, Jesus rebukes His own people for their "lukewarm" ways. The Savior's spat proves to be a blessing in disguise, giving us a chance to repent and open the door to the mercy He so freely gives.

Sun, Nov 08, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 3:7-13 Today's message opens the door for us to meet Jesus as the holder of "the key of David" (Revelation 3:7-13). As the One who welcomes sinners into the presence of the King, Jesus gives new life to those who believe. Like he did for the ancient Christians in the city of Philadelphia (not Pennsylvania), Jesus continues to place His name and His claim upon your life today!

Sun, Nov 01, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 3:1-6 Jesus doesn't pull any punches in His words to the church at Sardis (Revelation 3:1-6). In today's message, Pastor Jeff Alexander helps us to see how Jesus' words cut straight to the heart and powerfully work to wake us up to the life in the Spirit that He gives to those whose names are in the "book of life."

Sun, Oct 25, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 2:18-29 In this sermon for Reformation Sunday, Pastor Jeff Alexander leads us through Jesus' words to the Church in Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29), By God's grace, we receive Jesus' commendation, take to heart His rebuke about "that woman Jezebel" and then are encouraged by His promise to send the "Morning Star" to us. Enjoy part 6 of our REVELATION series!

Sun, Oct 18, 2015 by Pastor Bob Armao Passage: Revelation 2:12-17 In Part 5 of our REVELATION series, Pastor Bob Armao from Lutheran High School of Indianapolis leads us through Jesus' words to the Church in Pergamum (Revelation 2:12-17). Christ Jesus, the One who bears the "double-edged sword," is the Giver of the "hidden manna" which truly satisfies our souls.

Sun, Oct 11, 2015 by Seminarian Kevin Thomson Passage: Revelation 2:8-11 In Part 4 of our REVELATION series, Seminarian Kevin Thomson guides us through Revelation 2:8-11, the Letter to the Church in Smyrna. Jesus has promised His own "victor's crown" to those who follow Him.

Sun, Sep 27, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 1:9-20 In Part 2 of our Revelation series, Pastor Jeff Alexander helps us understand the symbolism and imagery of Revelation 1:9-20, as John encounters the voice of the "Son of Man" and experiences Him in all His glory. As we learn in today's message, Jesus Christ "holds the keys" of death, transforming it into unending life for those who believe. Does Jesus "hold the keys" in your life?

Sun, Sep 20, 2015 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 1:1-8 Today's message is the introduction to our new message series, "Revelation: Enduring Hope for Tired Souls." As we journey verse-by-verse through the 22 chapters of the Bible's final book, we'll see, again and again, how God "uncovers" His truth by revealing Jesus to us.

Sun, Feb 07, 2016 by Pastor Jeff Alexander Passage: Revelation 13:11-18 666. Even people who've never read Revelation know that 666 is "Satan's number," what this week's reading calls "the number of the beast." But what is the number's significance? What does it say about the enemy and his attempts to mislead the masses? Although the "unholy Trinity" tries to mimic the Triune God, he is no match for the One who has marked and sealed us through faith in Jesus Christ.
