Join Pastor Ray Kloetstra for this week's teaching from our series on Revelation. This teaching is titled The Mystery of God - The Big Picture and is focused on Revelation 11.
The Big Picture Of The Mystery Of God Can Be Summed Up In Three Stages:

•God’s ultimate Triumph demonstrated by His undisputed reign, judgment of sinners, rewarding of the saints, and the destruction of His and our spiritual foes.
Applications:
•Your worship, prayers, and witness are important “weapons” for the extension of Christ’s reign and ultimate victory!
•The “powers of hell” ultimately cannot harm you; you will be vindicated and glorified when Christ returns and you are raised from the dead!
•Meditate on the Lord’s Prayer – There is no greater prayer for the advance of the Gospel, in the present, and the victory of Christ’s Kingdom, at the end!
•Pray: “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus” (Rev. 22:21)
