God’s Heart for the Nations | Revelation 7:9–17

Chip Ingram joined us on Sunday to remind us that just as we have dreams in our hearts for our children, so does Jesus for his Church. He longs to see high-impact churches across the globe. When his children become mature disciples, his dream becomes reality.

TA continues our Year of the Word series by reminding us that when life feels heavy and overwhelming, Jesus extends a simple but profound invitation: “Come to me.” He doesn’t promise to remove every burden, but to give rest for our souls and refreshment that only comes from being with him.

Davis Powell, CEO of the Seed Company, joined us to remind us that the genealogy in Scripture is more than a list of names. It declares that God has kept his word. From Abraham to David to Mary, every covenant and prophecy points to Christ, the Savior for all nations.

Continuing our Year of the Word series, TA explains how God’s plan has always included every people and nation by walking us through Revelation 7:9–17, reminding us that Jesus’ death and resurrection secured salvation for people from every background.

Evil is not just a political or cultural problem. It’s a spiritual one. TA continues our Year of the Word series by walking us through Genesis 3. In it, we see the enemy’s lies that led Adam and Eve to reject God’s design and redefine good on their own terms.

In this message, TA walks through Daniel 7 and explores what Scripture says about the end times. While there are different theological perspectives on how to interpret apocalyptic passages, they all point to Jesus’ return and his eternal reign. The passage reminds us not to get lost in speculation but to live with confidence and humility, knowing that in the end, God wins.

In this message, TA explores two theological frameworks for understanding Israel and the Church: Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology. While not an essential of the faith, many scholars debate how much continuity or discontinuity there is between the Old Testament and the New Testament regarding Israel and the church.

TA continues our Year of the Word series by walking us through Ezekiel 37 and the vision of the valley of dry bones. These bones coming to life show that God brings the spiritually dead back to life through his Spirit. This prophecy points to Israel’s restoration, the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost, and the new life believers receive in Christ today.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 is one the Bible’s clearest explanations of the New Covenant. As TA noted, this New Covenant promises a new heart and a new start to all God’s people. Under the New Covenant, God commits to writing his law upon his people’s hearts, dwelling with them intimately, and forgiving their sin.

TA continues the Year of the Word series with a focus on Psalm 63, reminding us that we need God’s presence more than his gifts. When we learn to “gaze” at Jesus instead of just “glance,” we discover that he’s not only sufficient, he’s better.
