The Word of Their Testimony

Skip Cadorette
January 31, 2021

When you live in Babylon the success of a witness is not measured by the quantity of their converts, but by the steadfastness of their testimony. Revelation 10 and 11.

Rev 8-9: Judgment Rebukes Empire

Revelation is about the Church's relationship to Empire at any time in History. Its message to the struggling Christians in Roman Asia Minor: any human government that sets itself against God and the Lamb will go the way of Rome or Egypt.

This is Us!

January 10, 2021

The Christians of Asia Minor are battered by Rome's civil religion. Some are giving in and giving up to Caesar worship. They need something to put some steel in their backbone and some faith in their hearts. In Rev7 John gives them two snapshots of themselves.

Transcript of sermon: Why Is This So Hard?

Sermon: Why Is This So Hard? You'd think God would make things easy for Mary and Joseph since they're doing something so important. But no. Their story is fraught with difficulty...just like yours and mine. And that's not only okay, it's good.

Love All

Like the Lawyer in Luke's gospel [ch10] we want to set boundaries on just who we have to love. Jesus' answer in a story about "a Samaritan..." blows all our boundaries away.

December 13, 2020

Give More (Pandemic Style): God wants to give Himself to us. Jesus is the example of "all in" giving that God intends for us, his people, to follow so we can in the parlance of Advent Conspiracy: Give More.

Sermon Transcript Horsemen, Martyrs, and Calamities

What if the strange happenings in Revelation are not future events but portrayals of exactly what the Asia Minor Christians were experiencing at that moment? What if Revelation is about living faithfully for Jesus now rather than a guide for Anti-Christ spotting?

Skip Cadorette

The Throne of God

Rome's patriotic story wants control over all her citizens. But Rome's [or Babylon's] story contradicts God's story. Revelation 4 fact-checks Rome as to who's really has the power.

Skip Cadorette
October 4, 2020

Rome [aka Babylon] told a pretty story of being chosen by the gods to be the controlling power over all the world. "Fake news!" cries John and Revelation 1 proceeds to show us the True Power behind the universe.

Rome was brilliant at "Branding." Her politics, religion, economics, and civic pride were all blended up in a deceptive cocktail her citizens loved to consume. John's Revelation reveals the Beastly Lie.
