Revelation 1:1-20 (Part 1)

In this sermon, Pastor Bruce Gordon embarks on a journey through the first chapter of Revelation, introducing the concept of Jesus' imminent return as revealed through Scripture. Emphasizing the term "Revelation," or "Apocalypse," Pastor Gordon explains its significance as the unveiling of Jesus Christ. He cautions against predicting specific dates for Christ's return, reminding the congregation of the prophetic message that the time is near. Offering a panoramic view spanning Genesis to Revelation, the sermon delineates the progressive unveiling of God’s relationship with humanity—contrasting humanity's hopelessness with the hope, promises, and light brought forth through Jesus. He stresses the importance of recognizing this age of grace, the Church’s period, and the forthcoming culmination of God’s promises. Ultimately, the sermon beckons listeners to experience a personal revelation of Jesus, urging them to live with an eternal perspective and to respond to Jesus’s call, basking in His peace and redemption.
