Nearing the end of the study of the book of Revelation, Pastor Stu focuses on the New Jerusalem and the New Heavenly City as we read in Revelation 21: 9 - Revelation 22: 5. The New Jerusalem, a city on earth, will be 1500 miles, high, wide, and long with streets of gold, walls of jasper, foundations of precious stones, and gates of pearls. It will have all of God’s glory where the redeemed will live.
Then John describes the Eternal Heavenly city with a pure river of water of life, like crystal, coming from the throne of God. Trees line the river and they bear fruit and leaves that will heal the nations. The Tree of Life that was mention in Genesis 3 is an eternal tree in the Heavenly City, which now we will be able to partake.
From Genesis to Revelation, we read of God’s perfect plan. What God has in store for us sounds absolutely marvelous, but it pales in comparison to the perfect love He already has for us. He will never let go of those who belong to Him and never will.
Church services are Sundays @ 9:30 am. and Wednesday @ 6:00 pm.

Communion Sunday starts our service and then we are led into the teaching. In Revelation 21, we learn about the same hope we have receive communion The Hope that Jesus offers us in this life and the one to come.
The question is where are you going to spend eternity? ... in a place of eternal glory with God or eternal punishment. The advise is: do not play around with your eternal destiny. In Chapter 21, the apostle John saw a new Heaven and a new earth and the name the city is the New Jerusalem.
“And God will wipe away every year from their eyes, there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Rev 21:4 NKJV) What glorious promises we have.
Our services are Sundays 9:30 am.

As we near the end of the Book of Revelation, Pastor Stu teaches Chapter 20 verses 4 - 20. Though we learn of the binding and loosing of Satan, the lake of fire, and what awaits the unbelievers, it is balanced out by what learning what awaits those who do believe in Jesus Christ. It is The Millennial Kingdom: Here is what the scripture tells us it will be like:

Pastor Stu continues our study through the Book of Revelation as we read Chapter 20: 1-10. The 7 year tribulation is about to end. But there is prep work that has to be done before the Millennial Kingdom is established by our King. Drawing on scripture from Daniel, Ezekiel, Micah, Matthew, and others, we find a lot of information explaining what will happen. There is a period of 75 days where the Tribulation ends and the Millennial Temple is established. Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives and it will split in two.
It is then the fourth temple begins. We see that this is a temple used for sacrifices. We know there is no longer a veil, no mention of the ark of the covenant, or no mention of a high priest or a king. So if there are sacrifices, what do they accomplish?
God finds value in ceremonial remembrances and memorials. Sacrifices are ritual purification. Sacrifices may have to do with the nation of Israel. As we near the end of our study of Revelation, we invite you to join us Sundays at 9:30 am to see what happens at the end.

Pastor Stu began his service this morning with a communion teaching out of Psalm 30. He reminds us through this wonderful writing to be thankful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the cost he paid for our salvation.
After communion and reflecting on this, Pastor Stu gives a detailed teaching on the places that await us depending on the choice we make on earth. From Revelation Chapter 19, we first read of the “lake of fire”. We learn through this lesson what the lake of fire is and what it isn’t. Words used in the Bible include Sheol, Apollyon, Abbaddon, the pit, the abyss, Tartartus, and hell are not the lake of fire though they represent temporary separation from God. The Lake of Fire is known as Gehenna. This represents the permanent separation. The descriptions are terrifying because it represents eternal punishment: “he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone” (Rev. 14: 10b)
To avoid this punishment, God offered His perfect Son on the Cross as the atonement price.
Each week, Pastor Stu teaches chapter by chapter, verse by verse through the Bible. If you are looking for a good Bible believing church, join us Sundays at 9:30.January 31, 2021
When we have a fifth Sunday in the month, we are blessed by the presence of the Crossville Mission Bible Training Center residents. John, the director, explains the tenets of their Discipleship Program. Two of the people gave their testimonies which were very powerful in their growth through the Lord.
Pastor Stu then continued his teaching on Revelation 19. God is working out the salvation for the Jewish people. We are reminded that we are not saved as a nation, a family, or a church. No, it is wrought in the heart of each person. In many of the books of the Bible such as Isaiah, Zechariah, Psalms and Romans, we assured of the saving Grace has for the Jewish nation at the Second Coming of Christ.
His coming will be Glorious! All the earth will witness His coming. Jesus will come to execute judgement on all.
“THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” (Hebrews 10:30)
Join us to learn the conclusion of Revelation in the coming weeks Sundays @ 9:30.

As we near our study through the book of Revelation, Pastor Stu teaches on Chapter 19: 17-21. John sees Jesus (Faithful and True) riding on a white horse and on His thigh was the title, “King of King, and Lord of Lord” Behind the rider is an army of heavenly soldiers who is carrying a Sword. The Man on the horse is prepared for battle.
Verse 19 says “and I saw the beast, the king of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His armies.” Jesus fights his enemies and defeats them all.
Pastor Stu then takes us through the stages of the war and the supporting Bible Verses. We covered the first four stages 1.) gathering of world’s armies near Armageddon, 2.) the fall of Babylon, 3.)the fall of Jerusalem and 4.) the armies of Antichrist at Bozrah. Next week we will conclude the teaching with last four stages.
We meet every Wednesday @ 6:00 p.m. and Sundays @ 9:30 a.m. by going chapter by chapter; verse by verse in the Bible.

Pastor Stu’s message in Revelation 19 brings us to praising God in Heaven, the Marriage of the Lamb, and the Marriage Feast. These events will likely happen in Heaven after the Rapture and prior to the Tribulation although there are other thoughts. Where and When is not as important making sure that we are there. This is how we can be blessed by Him:
