Testify!
Jul 27 2025 • Cedrick Baker, Dan Kent, Greg Boyd
In this series on Revelation 10 and 11 we see that by faithfully following the Lamb, even through suffering, our lives give witness to the Kingdom. Giving witness means testifying to the liberating truth that God prevails over all suffering and evil. Our life stories testify, before the whole world, that nothing, not even death, can separate us from the love of God.

Faithfulness,
Salvation
Shawna Boren walks us through the difficult images of the opening verses of Revelation 11 and demonstrates how they are connected to the truth that God’s presence protects his people in times of trial and trouble. We can be comforted because no situation that we face can ever displace us from the reach of God’s love. This was true for the early church and it is true for us today.
Topics: Love,
Pain & Suffering,
Presence of God
This passage offers an interpretive challenge to a verse that seems to say that the people of God actually commit violent acts against their enemies. However, when you look beneath the surface of this complex imagery, it actually paints a picture of the way of the cruciform Christ and how the church overcomes through peace.

Power
This sermon explores how God invites and challenges us to take in his word, to the point of internalizing it into the depths of our souls. When we do this, we allow that truth to flow through us to others, specifically those who have not become followers of Jesus.
Topics: Evangelism,
Relationships
This sermon addresses the mystery of God as it relates to how God will overcome evil at the end of time. When it looks like injustice, hate and war are winning the day, how God wins through love is truly mysterious. However, love will win in the end, even though we do not see how and we do not have the ability to ascertain God’s plans. We can trust that there is more to what God is doing than we can directly see at this point.
Topics: End Times,
Judgment,
Love
Greg Boyd begins the new series titled Testify! by helping us see the crucial role that the unseen agents, called angels, play in the biblical story. We are invited to rethink the role that angels play in our story and the story of the world, and to embrace the reality that we live in a spiritual war zone.

Satan,
Spiritual Warfare
