The Conquering Christ (Revelation 1:4-20) 482i1d

What does it take to remain faithful when life feels overwhelming, when faith costs everything, and when compromise seems easier than conviction? In this powerful message from Revelation 1, we’re given a vision of Jesus that changes everything—eyes like fire, a voice like rushing waters, and a face shining like the sun. He is not only the faithful witness and firstborn from the dead—He is the conquering Christ. Drawing from the vision given to the apostle John and a dramatic scene from Elisha's ministry in 2 Kings 6, this sermon calls us to open our eyes to the ultimate reality: Jesus reigns even when the world rages. Through suffering, persecution, or tribulation, we are reminded that we are more than conquerors—but only when we see the Conqueror for who He is. Whether you're in a season of fire or facing fears that feel insurmountable, this message is a call to courage, faith, and endurance.  Look up. Do not fear. Christ has conquered. y162r
