It’s Good Friday but Sunday’s coming!  This is a day we set aside to recall the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior.  But the good news is, He didn’t stay in the grave.  He is very much alive today.  Something we celebrate on Easter, and really all year long.  Today on His Perfect Love pastor Matt Vanderven shares Luke’s account of the arrest, betrayal, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.  You’ll find it in chapters 22-24.

Trouble and turmoil is all around us, but this week we pause to remember there’s glorious hope to be found in the midst of it all, thanks to Jesus!  The focus today is on the resurrection of Christ.  This one single event altered the course of human history, but as you’ll see, it also affects our eternal destiny!

Have you ever been through a trial or period of discouragement, and then you received a note or message from a friend that really ministered to you? That’s exactly what the Lord did for the church in Smyrna in the second chapter of Revelation. Smyrna was suffering persecution for their faith, and also tribulation and poverty. This little passage of just four verses is a reminder to stay faithful, and keep on keeping on with eyes on the Lord.

Today we’ll be looking at the Lord’s postcard to the church in Ephesus in Revelation chapter two. While they were commended for some things, they had walked away from their first love.  Their love had grown cold.  It happened to the Ephesians and it’s still happening to Christians today. If things aren’t where they used to be in your relationship with Jesus, today’s message will show you how to get back on track.

Today Matt continues his series in Revelation.  We begin a look at the first of seven letters Jesus gave to seven different first century churches.  But as you’ll soon discover it has great relevance to us today. In his letter to Ephesus, the key words are found in chapter two, verse four, “You have left your first love!"  Whether an entire church body, or an individual Christian, leaving the love relationship we have with Jesus is something to be avoided but what do you do if it happens?  Find out today!

Today the plan is to finish up Revelation chapter one. In verse twenty the apostle John speaks of the seven stars, the angels of the seven churches.  Now are these actual angels he’s referring to?  Pastor Matt doesn’t think so.  He’ll explain why he believes these to be pastors or elders of these seven churches and the church at large.

Pastor Matt VanderVen is developing a study in Revelation, and today we come back to the end of chapter one.  If we were to stare at the sun for even just a few seconds it can cause serious eye damage!  As the apostle John continues his description of Jesus the glorified King he speaks of His face like the sun, shining in all its brilliance.  Pastor Matt says that says something to us about Jesus’ glory and majesty!

Today pastor Matt VanderVen attracts our attention to the last few verses of chapter one in Revelation.  The apostle John is giving us a picture of Jesus in all His glory and majesty.  And today we notice Jesus’ right hand and mouth.  What it conveys to us is something powerful about the coming judgement.

We’re in a study of Revelation, taking our time through each chapter and verse.  In chapter one, the apostle John gives a brilliant description of Jesus from His eyes on down to His feet!  In this description we learn something important about the judgement to come!  When Jesus returns, it will be to judge a Christ-rejecting world.  But will believers be here to witness it all or worse yet will we be on the receiving end?  Find out with us.

Just imagine what it would be like to see Jesus in all of His glory!  Well, the apostle John got a glimpse of Jesus, and thankfully he wrote it all down for us!  Today on His Perfect Love we’ll read this incredible description of Jesus!   The Lord wanted John to know who He is, and He wants us to as well!  So turn with us to Revelation chapter one for this eye-opening message on the conquering, glorified King!

About His Perfect Love

His Perfect Love is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Harrisburg, with Pastor Matt VanderVen. This radio ministry is an extension of the calling found in Ephesians 4:12-15, "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—"
