As we cover chapter 19 in the Book of Revelation we see that Jesus is returning to the earth to judge all those in rebellion of him, as well as conquering the antichrist for his final defeat in the battle of Armageddon. This signifies the end of the 7-Year Tribulation Period, and ushers in the Millennial Reign.

As we are coming to the end of the 7-year Tribulation Period in chapter 18 of the Book of Revelation, we see the complete destruction of the system of Babylon. God has been at war with Babylon the great city since the beginning of civilization, and her judgment comes swiftly as He avenges the justice of years in the waiting.

As part of our "Missions Sunday," Chip shares with us what God says about helping those in need. God calls His church to be the ones to help, and in doing so He will take care of the helpers.

This is our annual missions report as we hear from those who oversee the various missions Vineyard Community supports. We will see what's happening in Vietnam with the wheelchair ministry, Steve Fitterer shares how the feeding children program is going in Haiti, Chip Richardson gives a report on the water filter project in Brazil, and Kim Richardson talks about our new partnership with Convoy of Hope and how we are joining them in domestic missions work here in the United States.

As we end this series of how to navigate through uncertain seasons of life. We look at the theology behind why we live in a world that is corrupted by sin, and somewhat hopeless, while still maintaining hope in a good God, who has our eternity planned for us.

Today, we look at the letter James wrote and how he teaches us to consider what it is that we should do when facing seasons of uncertainty. We either believe what the Bible says, or we do not.

As we continue our series on how God always remains in control, we will talk about the peace we gain when we can lean on God’s Word and His promises to get us through the moments of uncertainty.

Thomas Dickson uses the story of the prophet Jonah, and how God gives us multiple opportunities through His unconditional love to align our hearts with His will. Through Jonah’s story, we will learn about God’s grace, patience, and that we can't run or hide from God's calling on our lives.
