In this CORE teaching, we begin a study of the Book of Revelation by tackling some of the biggest questions surrounding the end times. Is Revelation symbolic or literal? Is it meant to be read as a timeline? What about the Rapture, Tribulation, Millennium, Antichrist, and Second Coming?

We explore the four general views of Revelation and establish an important principle for interpreting this book: let Scripture interpret Scripture. Then we begin working through Revelation 11 as a practical example, looking at its imagery and asking how the rest of the Bible helps us understand what John is seeing.

This teaching is part of CORE, a monthly class at The Connect Church designed to help believers grow deeper in Scripture, theology, and the gospel.

Hot or Cold

It’s possible to be close to the things of God without being transformed by the heart of God. Comfort, self-sufficiency, and complacency can slowly convince us that we need nothing—even when Jesus sees something entirely different.

As part of our Summer of Revelation series, “Hot or Cold” explores Revelation 3:14–22 and Jesus’ sobering message to the church in Laodicea. Their greatest problem wasn’t simply their spiritual temperature—it was their spiritual temperament. They had become comfortable, self-sufficient, and unaware of their true condition. Jesus calls His Church away from lukewarm faith and toward a life refined by His presence, shaped by His truth, and demonstrated through genuine love and service. Proximity to Christlike people cannot replace personally following Christ. Jesus still stands at the door and knocks, calling us to hear His voice, repent, open the door, and allow Him to transform the way we live and love others.
