In this powerful continuation of our Revelation and Resistance series, Pastor Mark Hanna takes us into the heart of Revelation 7—a vision of heavenly worship that turns our assumptions about salvation and worth upside down. With humor, honesty, and spiritual insight, he invites us to see worship not as a performance or a ticket to heaven, but as a radical act of remembering who God is—and who we are. "God is not stingy. God’s grace is sweeping."

This week’s guide explores themes of perception, power, community, and Spirit-led listening through the lens of Revelation’s letters to the churches. Whether you're reflecting on your own or discussing with a group, these questions are designed to help you engage more deeply with the sermon and your faith journey. Let the Spirit stir new insights and actions in you this week.

In one of the most challenging and powerful texts of scripture, Pastor Mark explores the dramatic imagery of Revelation and helps us see its deeper message of courage, resistance, and hope. This sermon dives into how ancient symbols speak to our present struggles—and remind us that no matter how strong the beasts of our day seem, they will not have the final word. God will. Come hear why Revelation is less about predicting the future and more about facing the present with faith.
