Some argued that Jesus wasn’t fully God, while others taught He was God’s first created being. Paul wrote to set the record straight. In Col. 1:15-19 Paul teaches about the supremacy of Christ in three important ways.2021-01-2840 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerGospel GratitudePassage: Colossians 1:12-14 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Colossians - Complete in Christ Category: Cross, Thanksgiving , Christ , Gospel, Grace, Forgiveness, Colossians Summary: Of all people, Christians ought to be the most thankful because they know what they have been saved from! Our thanksgiving should translate into thanks-living. In Col. 1:12-14 Paul wraps up his prayer for the church by mentioning three blessings of salvation that every Christian can be grateful for.2021-01-2843 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerPartners in PrayerPassage: Colossians 1:9-11 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Colossians - Complete in Christ Category: Prayer , Colossians Summary: Often we may feel burdened to pray for someone, but we may not know how to pray for them. That’s when we resort to generic prayers. In Colossians 1:9-11 Paul prayed specifically in four areas for the believers at Colossae. This prayer is a great model for us to follow as we commit to praying for each other.2021-01-2840 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerDon't Be Left BehindPassage: Luke 17:24-30 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Don't Be Left Behind Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Rapture, Luke Summary: The Bible teaches that there is a blessed bunch of believers who will not taste death. A day is coming when the church will defy gravity and meet Christ in the air. That spectacular moment, known as “the Rapture,” could be sooner than we realize! In Luke 17, the Lord Jesus preaches to the disciples about His coming. He notes three important attributes of the Rapture that should challenge us and give us grea...2020-11-2237 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerHow Should A Christian Vote?Passage: Exodus 18:13-23 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: America at a Crossroads Category: America , Politics , Government Summary: Every 4 years, Americans must make a critical decision about who they will select for political leaders. Many Christians feel like it is a choice between the "lesser of two evils." Wouldn't it be helpful if there was a passage in the Bible that would tell us what to look for in a candidate? Well there is--Exodus 18, where Moses is advised by his father-in-law about what qualifications should be considered for selecting judges. This...2020-11-2240 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Politics of PilgrimsPassage: 1 Timothy 2:1-3 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: America at a Crossroads Category: America , Politics , Government Summary: The Bible calls Christ-followers “pilgrims” (1 Pet. 2:11; Heb. 11:13). A vagabond has no home. An ambassador is away from home. But a pilgrim is headed home! We are citizens of America by birth, but citizens of heaven by second birth. That means we must live as dual citizens. In this message, we are going to talk about how the governments of men and God coexist and even clash at times. Let’s learn about “the politics...2020-10-2837 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerAmerica at a CrossroadsPassage: Psalms 80:1-19 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: America at a Crossroads Category: America , Faith, Psalms, Revival Summary: Our nation is at a crossroads. Again, we find ourselves with the decision that will determine our nation’s fate for the next four years. America’s perilous situation today is strikingly similar to ancient Israel at the time Psalm 80 was written. In Psalm 80 we have one of Israel’s patriots imploring God to rescue His people from the brink of national disaster.2020-10-1945 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerBack to BethelPassage: Genesis 35:1-29 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis , Revival Summary: Jacob’s journey with the Lord was filled with sin, stumbling and setbacks. In Genesis 35 we have another turning point in the life of this patriarch. Finally, after much delay and disobedience, Jacob goes back to Bethel, the place where Jacob’s walk with God began. For Jacob, going back to Bethel was like going home. In Jacob’s sunset years we are going to see four new things enter his life. For us thi...2020-10-1940 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerHealing the Hurts of the PastPassage: Genesis 33:1-12 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Cross, Jacob, Genesis , Forgiveness, Reconciliation Summary: It has been over twenty years since Jacob deceived his brother Esau. Over those years, the Lord had been working on Jacob bringing him to a point of humility and repentance over his scheming ways. In Genesis 33 we finally come to the moment when these estranged brothers meet again and restore their broken relationship. As we study this scene, we will learn important steps in the process of healing hurts from...2020-10-1939 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerCrippled, But CrownedPassage: Genesis 32:1-32 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis , Surrender Summary: There are two great spiritual landmarks in Jacob’s life. The first was Bethel where God came to him in a dream and reveled the ladder coming down from heaven. The second was on the banks of the Jabbok river when he wrestled with God. At Bethel Jacob first believed and at the Jabbok River he was finally broken. Jacob will emerge from this “dark night of the soul” a changed man both physic...2020-10-0241 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerBattle of the BridesPassage: Genesis 29:31-30:24 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: Jacob was supposed to be the man of the house, but his attention and affection quickly became the object of a tug-of-war between two battling brides, Rachel and Leah (also sisters mind you). Genesis 29-30 has polygamy, discord, jealousy, competition, infertility and more drama than a Hallmark movie. At the heart of this dysfunctional family are two women struggling for identity. In the midst of this mess, God is working to bring about His...2020-09-0742 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe School of Sowing and ReapingPassage: Genesis 29:1-30 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: In Genesis 29 we have the record of how Jacob met and married his wives. The man who weaseled the birthright away from his brother and conned his father needed some serious schooling in the spiritual disciplines. This chapter is an OT illustration of a NT truth, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap” (Gal. 6:7). Jacob doesn’t know it, but class in is session. As he...2020-08-2538 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerJacob's LadderPassage: Genesis 28:10-22 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: Genesis 28 is probably the most famous scene from Jacob’s life. We know that Jacob was a schemer, but he was also a dreamer and this scene explains why; for here, God reaches down to our prodigal patriarch and gives him an incredible dream of a ladder reaching up to heaven. This is Jacob’s moment of salvation as He experiences the God of his father and grandfather in an unforgettable way. In this mess...2020-08-2539 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerA House DividedPassage: Genesis 27:1-44 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: If you are looking for a model family, you won’t find one in the Bible. Isaac and Rebekah’s family was a hot mess. Their marriage got off to a promising start, but by the time we open Gen. 27, they have drifted apart. Years of parental favoritism has divided this family. Isaac prefers his athletic, brawny, son of the wild—Esau. While, Rebekah shelters and nurtures her “mama’s boy”—Jacob. In this message, we ar...2020-08-2539 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerSibling RivalryPassage: Genesis 25:19-34 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: The biography of Jacob begins in Gen. 25 and like most of us he’s born in a dysfunctional family. In this iconic passage we learn a lot about Jacob's origin and character flaws. Jacob was a deceiver and trickster. Esau made a foolish bargain choosing the temporal over the physical. These two brothers can teach us much about ourselves and the Gospel.2020-08-2542 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerWhen in Rome...Passage: Acts 28:16-31 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts, Evangelism , Church , Gospel Summary: In Acts 28 Paul finally completes his journey to Rome. Paul made the best of his situation and continued to preach the Gospel even while under house arrest. In a way this chapter is both an end and a beginning. It brings to a close the history of the early church, but of course the work of the church went on after Paul. Much of what we are doing now in continuing the work...2020-07-2942 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Castaway for ChristPassage: Acts 28:1-10 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts, Evangelism , Suffering, Gospel, Storms, Detours Summary: The will of God is not always a straight line from point A to point B. That was certainly true of the Apostle Paul’s life. For several chapters now, Paul has been on his way to Rome, but before Paul arrived there God sent his apostle on a 3-month detour. In Acts 28 we find Paul and company shipwrecked on the island of Malta. This hold-over in Paul’s journey to Rome...2020-07-2937 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerHow to Survive a ShipwreckPassage: Acts 27:1-44 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts, Suffering, Storms Summary: Paul was on his way to Rome. But before he and Dr. Luke arrived in Italy, the ship ran into a terrible storm that waylaid the sailors for 14 days. What follows in Acts 27 is one of the most harrowing stories in the Bible as Paul’s courageous faith kept him buoyant despite being storm-tossed and shipwrecked. How will we weather the winds and the waves? This passage teaches us 4 crucial lessons.2020-07-1640 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerAlmost PersuadedPassage: Acts 26:1-32 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts, Evangelism , Faith, Christ , Gospel Summary: Why is it so hard for some to believe? I have found that there are two kinds of skeptics: those who say, “I can’t believe” and others who say, “I won’t believe.” Today we are going to meet two men who were very much in the second camp. In Acts 26 we have the record of Paul’s last court hearing before he is shipped off to Rome. Paul takes the opportunity to...2020-07-1644 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Danger of DelayPassage: Acts 24:24-27 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts, Procrastination Summary: In Acts 24 we encounter a man who allowed a golden opportunity to pass him by. His name was Antonias Felix, a Roman governor, who had the world’s most eloquent and learned preacher in his court, the Apostle Paul. The failure of Felix was procrastination. He put off making the most important decision anyone could ever make—what to do with Jesus.2020-07-1635 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerFaltering Witness, Faithful GodPassage: Acts 23:1-35 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts Summary: Have you ever blown a perfect witnessing opportunity? Believe it or not, the great Apostle Paul did once. In Acts 23 we see Paul's mistake and how the Lord gently picked him up and encouraged him. In this message we will learn three lessons about God's faithfulness when we have failed.2020-05-2338 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerWhen Ministry Goes SidewaysPassage: Acts 21:15-22:26 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts, Suffering, Ministry, Obedience Summary: In Acts 21, everything went bad for Paul as he went into Jerusalem. But, Paul was able to turn a bad situation around and use it to declare the Gospel. In this message we learn three lessons about what to expect when ministry goes "sideways".2020-05-1537 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerA Mother Who Changed the WorldPassage: 1 Samuel 1:1-28 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Mother's Day 2020 Category: Mother's Day, 1 Samuel, Hannah Summary: Hannah's early life was defined by barrenness, bitterness and brokenness. But all this was leading her to a deeper understanding of God. In this message we learn about God raised up Hannah to change the destiny of a nation.2020-05-1248 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerLooking for the End-times, Living in the MeantimePassage: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Coronavirus: Responding with Faith over Fear Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Coronavirus Summary: Paul challenged the Thessalonian believers to live in two spheres--they were to live in the present, but look ahead expectantly for the return of Christ. That same mentality applies to us today. In this message, we will examine 1 Thess. 5:1-11 and what we can learn about "the Day of the Lord."2020-05-0546 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Church TriumphantPassage: Matthew 16:13-18 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Coronavirus: Responding with Faith over Fear Category: Church , Christ , Matthew Summary: During the COVID-19 crisis, there have been many make foreboding predictions about the future of the church. In Matt. 16, Jesus explained the origin, purpose and destiny of the church and we can take comfort that the church will endure.2020-05-0540 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerRunning Like A ChampionPassage: Hebrews 12:1-2 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Coronavirus: Responding with Faith over Fear Category: Trials , Hebrews, Endurance Summary: In order to run the race of life we need endurance to go the distance. In this message we learn how to train ourselves spiritually so we can go all the way for the Lord.2020-05-0542 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Lifter of My HeadPassage: Psalms 3:1-8 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Coronavirus: Responding with Faith over Fear Category: Coronavirus, Trials , David, Psalms Summary: As David retreated from Jerusalem under the threat of Absalom's pursuit, he penned Psalm 3. In this song David rehearsed his problems and his faith in God.2020-05-0539 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerWhat To Do When You Don't Know What To DoPassage: Habakkuk 1:1-3:18 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Coronavirus: Responding with Faith over Fear Category: Habakkuk, Coronavirus Summary: Habakkuk cried out to God for answers. Why was He not doing anything to help His people? God answered, but Habakkuk couldn't believe what God was up to. In this message, we will discover what to do when life doesn't make sense and we aren't sure what to do.2020-05-0543 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerSocial DistancingPreacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Coronavirus: Responding with Faith over Fear Category: Coronavirus Summary: One of the recent buzzwords that has become part of our vocabulary is “social distancing,” which refers to the restricting of people’s daily routines to help stop the spread of contagious disease. There is much we can learn in our spiritual lives as we are all forced into isolation. In this message we will highlight a few cases of social distancing and what God did through those situations.2020-05-0544 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerChrist in the CrisisPassage: Numbers 21:4-9 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Coronavirus: Responding with Faith over Fear Category: Miracles, Numbers, Coronavirus Summary: The ancient Israelites were no strangers to plagues. In Numbers 21, we find the stiff-necked nation facing a crisis in the wilderness as they fell victim to a heaven-sent scourge of serpents. This episode pictures a national crisis much like the one we are currently facing, complete with fear, panic, complaining, sickness and death paralyzing God’s people. In this message we will learn 4 critical lessons about how a crisis reveals what we...2020-05-0542 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerLingering Around the Empty TombPassage: John 20:11-18 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Easter 2020 Category: Easter , Resurrection of Christ Summary: Mary’s world was shattered on Friday evening as she helped take Jesus’ lifeless form from the cross, wrap Him in linens and place His body in the tomb. Added to her grief was utter shock when she discovered on Sunday morning that Jesus’ tomb was empty when she arrived to finish the job of embalming. But as Mary lingered around the tomb, her world was turned right-side up again as the Risen Jesus reveled His gl...2020-04-1641 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Conscript and the CrossPassage: Luke 23:26 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Easter 2020 Category: Easter , Cross Summary: There was one man present at Calvary for whom the cross changed everything—his name was Simon of Cyrene. Admittedly, we don’t know much about him, but what we do know is significant. For a brief moment, he steps on the stage of the God’s salvation drama, plays his part. Simon’s claim to fame was that he helped a battered, bloodied and burdened Jesus carry his cross the rest of the way to Golgotha.2020-04-1637 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Missing IngredientPassage: Acts 18:18-19:10 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts, Holy Spirit Summary: The book of Acts is filled with several examples of how the advent of the Spirit turned the early church from cowardly wimps into courageous witnesses, from meek lambs into mighty lions. In Acts 18-19 we see another example of how the Holy Spirit transitioned the world into the church age. In this message, we will learn about three critical ministries of the Holy Spirit in our lives.2020-04-0242 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerCourage in CorinthPassage: Acts 18:1-17 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: The Acts Adventure Category: Acts, Evangelism Summary: When Paul arrived in Corinth as Acts 18 relates, he had suffered a string of defeats and persecution. Corinth was not the place for a lonely, fatigued and discouraged church planter to seek refuge. Historians tell us that Corinth was the sin-city of the ancient world. Today, conditions in this country aren’t that much different. In this message we will see how God encouraged Paul to keep ministering to a lost world despite the adversity he...2020-04-0249 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerBlessings from BonesPassage: 2 Kings 13:14-21 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisha, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: Everyone has influence, no matter how big or small we perceive ourselves. We all influence someone, and God expects us to be good stewards of that influence for the sake of the Gospel.

Under the oppression of the Syrians, famine and starvation besieged God’s people. When Israel’s situation couldn’t get much darker, a ray of hope dawned from the word of the prophet Elisha.

As the enemies of Israel surrounded the man of God, the heavenly hosts surrounded Israel’s enemies. By faith he was able to see the unseen. Elisha takes three actions in this passage that teach us how we can achieve victory in our spiritual battles.2020-03-0238 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerRecovering Your Spiritual EdgePassage: 2 Kings 6:1-7 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: If we are all honest, there are times when our passion for God wanes. In those down-times, we aren’t excited about prayer, worship or sharing the Gospel as we once were. In 2 Kings 6, we have recorded one of the most unique miracles wrought by the hands of Elisha. It’s a miracle involving a floating axe head and I think it teaches us four steps of how to recover our spiritual edge.2020-02-1239 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Leprosy of PridePassage: 2 Kings 5:1-16 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: Naaman is the epitome of a self-made military man. But under the brass and badges was a dead man walking. He had been infected with the dreaded disease of leprosy. But that wasn’t even the worst part. Outwardly, leprosy was eating him alive, and inwardly pride was corrupting his soul. Desperate for a cure, he came seeking Elisha. Naaman almost missed a miracle because of his pride.

Her story is found in 2 Kings 4 and its roller coaster ride of emotional and spiritual ups and downs. The Shunammite woman struggled through infertility and the death of a child. Even though she couldn’t see it at the time, she’s a great example of how God...2020-01-3040 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Miracle of a MomentPassage: Galatians 4:4-5 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Christmas 2019 Category: Christmas Summary: Timing was everything some 2,000 years ago when God’s Son quietly arrived on planet earth as an infant. But have you ever wondered, “Why did Jesus come to earth when He did? Why did he come then and not now?” Galatians 4:4-5 explains not only why Jesus came, but why He came the way He did and why He came when He did. In this passage, Paul teaches us three important truths about the advent of Christ.2020-01-0733 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Man Who Tried to Stop ChristmasPassage: Matthew 2:1-18 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Christmas 2019 Category: Christmas Summary: Most of the characters in the Nativity drama behaved like heroes; except for one—the wicked King Herod. He is the original “Grinch” and the man who tried to stop Christmas. In this message, we’re going to better understand why the Gospel of Matthew spends so much time telling his sordid story. In the process, we will learn some insightful truths about the meaning of Christmas.2020-01-0739 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerOil StrikePassage: 2 Kings 4:1-7 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings , Faith Summary: Elisha had just saved three armies from dying of thirst in a desert, and now he turns to help a woman who had just been widowed by the unexpected death of her husband.

Oddly enough, this miracle involved the armies of Israel and Judah picking up shovels and digging ditches before they could see God’s deliverance. In this message we are going to learn several lessons about how when we are in a desperate situation, God asks us to obey Him in faith.2019-11-1438 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerDon't Drink the Water!Passage: 2 Kings 2:19-22 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: The ancient city of Jericho at the time of Elisha’s ministry had a major water crisis. Their water was brackish, contaminated and undrinkable. In 2 Kings 2 this problem became the setting for Elisha’s first public miracle. In today’s message we are going to examine this fascinating episode and make some spiritual connections to our lives and the Gospel.2019-10-3036 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerCreating Spiritual LegacyPassage: 2 Kings 2:1-15 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Summary: It’s been said that, “The Christian faith is only one generation from extinction.” That’s because the Christian life is a like a relay race in which one generation must pass the baton of God’s truth to the next generation. In 2 Kings 2 we have one of the critical “handoff” moments in the Scriptures. In this miraculous transition between Elijah and Elisah, let’s discover 3 principles about leaving a spiritual legacy.2019-10-2341 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerBurn the PlowsPassage: 1 Kings 19:19-21 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Calling, Miracles Summary: Elijah was and is regarded by many as the greatest prophet of the Old Testament. Yet as mighty as his ministry was, Elijah’s career would eventually come to a close. In 1 Kings 19 the Lord gave Elijah specific instructions for his next assignment—“You shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat as prophet in your place.” Elisha was handpicked by Elijah to be his successor to the prophetic ministry. In this message, we are going to...2019-10-1736 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerUntil He Comes...Passage: Revelation 22:6-21 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The study of prophecy is not about the accumulation of information. It’s about transformation! If Revelation doesn’t change how you live on a day-to-day basis then we’ve missed the point. Just as the news of an impending storm or the birth of a baby would change your behavior in the present, so too the soon and sudden return of Christ should change how we live in the here and now.

If you take all the positive things about those places and combine them into a super metropolis, they would still pale in comparison to the city that God is preparing for those that love Him. New Jerusalem is mentioned almost a dozen times in the span of Revelation 21 & 22 and it will be the eventual capital ci...2019-09-1635 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe New Heavens and the New EarthPassage: Revelation 21:1-8 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation, Eternity, Heaven Summary: The final two chapters in the Bible are dedicated to telling us all that we need to know about the believer’s future heavenly home.

The last verses of Rev. 20 forms one of the central passages in the Bible concerning the doctrine of hell. It paints a grim courtroom scene where sinners are judged and sentenced to a terrible punishment of a Christ-less eternity. You won’t find a more sobering passage in the Bibl...2019-09-0335 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe MillenniumPassage: Revelation 20:1-10 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: Even though mankind will never be able to create an idyllic civilization on Earth, Jesus will. In Rev. 20, the Bible describes a thousand-year period in which Jesus will rule the Earth in perfect peace, prosperity and justice. The Millennium is the last phase of history in which the world is finally turned right side up by King Jesus. As we look at our world which is so marred by sin, evil and...2019-09-0336 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Return of the King (2019)Passage: Revelation 19:11-21 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The return of Christ is the climactic moment which all of salvation history is moving towards. The world is Christ’s by right of creation—for he made it all. The world is Christ’s by right of Calvary—He redeemed it all. The world is Christ’s by right of Conquest—He will retake it all! In Rev. 19 we discover at least four important attributes concerning the return of Christ.2019-08-2333 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Marriage Supper of The LambPassage: Revelation 19:1-10 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: As grand as a royal wedding is, it pales in comparison to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb foretold in Rev. 19. You talk about a match made in heaven—literally that’s what will happen at the end of Tribulation period when the church is united with Christ in a ceremony that will have no equal. This is one of the most glorious events in the Bible and we ought to be exci...2019-08-2334 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerEconomic ArmageddonPassage: Revelation 18:1-18 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The book of Revelation devotes two chapters, 17 & 18, to the destruction of the Antichrist’s worldwide empire of the last days. Chapter 17 focuses on God’s judgment of Babylon’s idolatrous religion, while chapter 18 describes how God brings down Babylon’s commercial and financial sector. Like Humpty Dumpty who had a great fall, the Antichrist and the crown jewel of his kingdom, Babylon, will fall and no one will be able to put them bac...2019-08-2336 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Coming World ReligionPassage: Revelation 17 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: Some talking heads have declared that religion is all but dead in our modern world. However, the Bible predicts that during the Tribulation that the Antichrist will create a religious system that will captivate the attention of the whole world. In Revelation 17 we see the emergence of this world religion and how it will deceive many. This religious system is pictured symbolically through graphic imagery—a drunk harlot riding a grotesque beast.2019-08-2336 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerEarth's Worst DaysPassage: Revelation 15:1-16:20 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: As the Tribulation intensifies, the judgments are ratcheted up in strength and frequency. The last 7 that are described in Rev. 16 strike the planet with rapid fire succession and ferocity. Chapters 15 & 16 taken together form a split screen view of the action in heaven and on the earth during this terrible time and you’ll notice that the contrast couldn’t be more drastic!2019-08-2338 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerAngels of the ApocalypsePassage: Revelation 14:6-20 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: Angels will play a significant role in the end-times. In Rev. 8-9, we saw 7 angels blowing 7 trumpets, and with each blast came a terrible judgment on the earth. In Rev 12, the veil to an invisible war is pulled back and we catch a glimpse of Michael and his angels battling the demonic forces of Satan. And in Rev. 14 we see angels appearing to make important announcements to those left on the earth.2019-08-2338 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerTried, Tested and TriumphantPassage: Revelation 14:1-5 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: We have weathered through several dark and destructive chapters in Revelation as the storm of the Tribulation has ravaged the Earth. In chapter 14 we see the storm cease for a moment as heavenly sunlight breaks through the clouds. In the first five verses we are reacquainted with group of believers who have survived the storm and have a testimony of praise to offer God. They are the 144,000 Jewish evangelists that we met...2019-08-2334 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe False ProphetPassage: Revelation 13:11-18 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: In Revelation 13 we read that during the future tribulation period a despotic ruler—which the apostle John calls “the Beast”—is going to rise to power. He will be Satan’s CEO. Most know him by the title, “Antichrist.” One of the ways that he will gain control over the world is by an economic system which will force people to buy and sell by only using his prescribed mark.

He will have the charisma of a JFK, the eloquence of an Abraham Lincoln, the military might of an Alexander, the genius of a Steve Jobs and the heart of Adolph Hitler. The Bible describes him with 25 different aliases—“the son of perdition,” “the Beast,” “the man of sin”—but we know him best as, “The Antichrist.” In the first half of Re...2019-07-0138 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Cosmic ConflictPassage: Revelation 12 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation, Spiritual Warfare Summary: In Revelation 12 we have the curtain pulled back, so we can see the “invisible war” that has been raging behind the scenes of history since the beginning of time. In John’s vision we get a panorama of spiritual warfare as he describes three main characters involved in this invisible war—a celestial woman (Israel) and her royal child (Christ) and a fiery dragon (Satan) who seeks to destroy both.2019-07-0134 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Seventh TrumpetPassage: Revelation 11:15-19 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: As we have seen thus far, Revelation is not just a book about the wrath of God—it’s also a book about the worship of God. Punctuated throughout the apocalyptic visions and terrible judgments are incredible moments of worship. It’s as if the windows of heaven are opened and we get a brief glimpse at the sight and sounds of the choirs surrounding God’s throne. At the end of chapter...2019-05-3034 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerTwo Tribulation WitnessesPassage: Revelation 11:1-14 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The Rapture will remove the salt and light of the Church from the world before that terrible time of judgment befalls those left behind. However, God will not leave the unbelieving masses without hope or a means to turn to Him before it is too late. Revelation 11 profiles the two witnesses sent to earth during the Tribulation to proclaim God’s Gospel in the midst of wrath.2019-05-3042 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThe Eye of the StormPassage: Revelation 10 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: Rev. 10 is a much-needed calm in the midst of global crisis. Just like the eye of a storm, Rev. 10 is a chance to catch our breath and be reminded that the chaos of the Tribulation is still organized chaos – meaning, God is still in control even when the whole world is coming apart at the hinges!2019-05-3040 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerWhen All Hell Breaks LoosePassage: Revelation 9 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: We don’t hear much about the reality of demonic possession in our modern world, but the Bible predicts that a time is coming in the last days when demons will run wild over mankind. Revelation 9 is a chapter about what will happen during the Tribulation period when God unleashes two judgments on the earth which will usher in a terrible series of demonic invasions literally bring about “hell on earth.”2019-04-3040 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerTrumpets of TerrorPassage: Revelation 8 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The Tribulation period began in Rev. 6 when Jesus broke the first six seals on the title deed of the Earth. After a brief parenthesis in Rev. 7 in which God supernaturally seals the 144,000 Jewish witnesses, we come to Rev. 8 where Jesus opens the seventh seal and a new set of judgments are unleashed upon the Earth--the Trumpets of Terror.

The drama plays out in two theaters—heaven and earth. In heaven, Jesus holds in His hands the title deed of the earth, which was pictured in chapter 5 as a seven-sealed scroll. With each seal that is loosed by the Lord Jesus a corresponding judgment on the earth is unleashed.

Their half-hearted approach to Christ made Him sick. In fact, a careful study of this letter shows that Jesus had nothing good to say about the Laodiceans. If Ephesus was loveless and Sardis lifeless, then Laodicea was worthless. As we study the letter to Laodicea, we will find it to be both a megaphone and a mirr...2019-03-0138 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerPhiladelphia: The Missionary ChurchPassage: Revelation 3:7-12 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The church at Philadelphia stood on the threshold of an exciting opportunity to reach out with the Gospel. In fact, of all the letters to the churches in Revelation I would have most wanted to be in attendance at Philadelphia on the day the mailman delivered this word from God.

The believers in Sardis were barely clinging to life. This letter is unique because in every church we have studied thus far, Jesus has had at least something positive to say about each one. But, that is not the case with Sardis. Jesus had nothing good to say here. This letter is a sobering read, be...2019-02-1344 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerThyatira: The Immoral ChurchPreacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The church at Thyatira failed to keep her guard up and the result was deadly, as she was infiltrated by false doctrine and immorality. Much like her sister church at Pergamum, the church at Thyatira lacked discernment, had a love affair with the world, tolerated sin and became “The Immoral Church.” Because the Lord wrote more to this carnal church than the others we’d do well to learn its important lesson—sin and false doctrine are not to b...2019-02-0543 minLBC CandlerLBC CandlerPergamum: The Compromising ChurchPassage: Revelation 2:12-17 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Pergamum is known in the list of the seven churches of Revelation as, “The Compromising Church.” Interestingly, the name “Pergamum” actually means “a mixed marriage.” The chief sin of the church is bound up in its name, as the believers became married to the world.
