Why do different translations differ in Revelation 20:14? What is Hades? The handout referred in this episode can be downloaded at https://www.coalportcmachurch.org/sermon-audio/

Jesus says, "If you love me, then you will keep my commands." Many people say that they are followers of Jesus, but Jesus says if they do not keep my commands then they are not my followers. But Jesus doesn't leave us alone to figure this out by ourselves, He gives us another helper, the Holy Spirit, to walk with us.

Jesus' disciples asked to see the Father. Jesus answers by telling them that He is the "spittin' image" of the Father. If you see Jesus, then you have seen the Father. Are we a "spittin' image" of Jesus? When people look at us, do they see Jesus?

As Jesus continues His final hours with His disciples He tells them that by this one thing, everyone will know that they are Jesus' followers. That one thing being our love for each other. As followers of Jesus, is our slogan to "Love, as Jesus Loved"?

Jesus returns in all of His glory with the armies of heaven.

The sinful of this world has been brought to an end and the bride of Christ, the church, has made herself ready for her bridegroom to return. What is this marriage supper of the Lamb and when will this happen?

As Jesus continues with His disciples during His last Passover meal we continue to see Jesus as all knowing and in control of these circumstances. Even though from His disciples perspective His death was chaotic and did not fully understand, this was part of God's plan from the foundation of the earth. In our lives and in our world we need to understand that Jesus is still in control and all of history is moving towards that final moment when Jesus will come again.

The harlot, which is symbolic of the evil and wickedness of this world, comes to an end and Heaven rejoices as Jesus prepares to get His bride. This is our hope in Christ.

Do you want to be great? Jesus tells us how we can be great. In fact, Jesus tells us how we can be happy in our lives, by being a servant. As Jesus spends His final hours with His disciples, He gives them an example to follow and says that if we are to be His followers then we are obligated to follow His example as well.

As Jesus wraps up His public ministry with the crowds, He pleads with them one last time to believe in Him. Do you believe in Jesus or are you waiting for more proof?

As Jesus approaches the final days of His life, He understands fully what is about to happen to Him. He tells His disciples that He has two choices; either to ask God to save Him from these events or to ask God to glorify His name through these events. When we go through hardships we have the same two choices. What choice do we make?

In Revelation 17 we have very symbolic language representing this world and the wickedness of this world. Revelation 18 continues with this language, but we see that even though this world seems to be powerful and nothing can stop this world, we serve a King that is greater and will bring judgment up this world.

What does the Harlot and the Beast represent? After the seven bowls, the world has been utterly destroyed and now God reveals to John and us how the wicked and evil world will come to an end before Jesus' return.

Join us as we discuss some very important issues about living our lives for Jesus. We deal the question of pain and suffering today.

The people are so excited because Jesus has entered the city to celebrate Passover. The city declares Jesus to be their King, but they misunderstood Jesus' mission. Jesus is King. Not of a nation, but of a spiritual kingdom. Jesus will be victorious over His enemies; not the Romans, but over sin and death. Have you bowed your knee and made Jesus King of your life?

During this time we tackle the questions of forgiveness and are we suppose to forgive when someone hurts us. Join us as we wrestle with tough questions concerning our walk with God.

Before we look at the rest of Revelation, we need to review the 7 seals, 7 trumpets and the 7 bowls. I believe that this is the time line for the last days. 7 seals are the initial "birth pangs." The 7 trumpets and the 7 bowls are what we call the "Tribulation period." The handout mention in this teaching can be downloaded at coalportcmachurch.org/sermonaudio/

As Passover approaches,Jesus heads towards Jerusalem stopping at His friend's house in Bethany. Jesus is eating a meal with Lazarus. Martha is serving the meal and Mary anoints Jesus' feet with expensive perfume. Do we view Jesus as more precious than silver or gold or our most prized possession?

The religious leaders gather together to debate about what to do with Jesus. They decide to eliminate Him. He will die for the nation. But John tells us that Jesus not only will die on behalf of the nation of Israel, but for the entire world including me and you.

Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. An incredible miracle, but do you realize that Jesus raises dead people everyday?
