Invitations. Receiving one makes you feel special, thought of, and a part of something greater than yourself.

Come, let’s hear & heed the closing invitation of God’s Word!

Come, let’s learn to take God at His Word this morning!

New Heavens & New Earth | Revelation 21:1-8 by Christ Community Church of Magnolia

People joke about hell today as if it is a fictitious place for terrible people or can only be understood as the suffering people might have to go through in this life. Today, people can’t imagine a good God punishing forever people who reject Him. But does the Bible treat hell this way? Come, let’s take God at His Word this morning!

Hallelujah Chorus | Revelation 19:1-10 by Christ Community Church of Magnolia

Let’s learn and grow from God’s Word!

God’s wrath and justice - not soft-sounding words to our ears. Not words or verses we put on our coffee cups or our mantles. But, these attributes of God are deeply rooted in His character & actions. Let’s understand how God’s justice & wrath inform how we think about God’s plans, our worship & our witness.

We learned last week how Satan deceives the world. We also saw a call for the saints to endure, have faith, and be wise. What hope do we have to motivate such a response? Let’s dive into Revelation 14 & be encouraged by God’s eternal gospel that provides hope for today & tomorrow!
