Revelation 4 | Come Up Here!
Life is chaos. Am I right?
Married or single. Young or old. High school, college, or retired. If you’re out of diapers, you know life is full of friction.
Most days are a mixed bag. Good and bad. Frustration and hardship. Messy relationships. Little glimpses of goodness that get buried under the hard stuff. And even when the crazy is mostly good, it’s still crazy!
Most days, it feels like chaos down here.
John knew that feeling. He was stuck on a prison island, and the churches he loved were in trouble. Then a door opened in heaven, and a voice said, “Come up here.”
This Sunday, we’re walking through that door together in Revelation 4. Fair warning: it gets wild. Lightning, rainbows, and creatures covered in eyes! But what John sees on the other side is exactly what we need when life down here doesn’t make sense.
Come up here with us this Sunday at 9 or 11 am!

Moneywise | A 5-Week Biblical Finance Class
Are you looking to get on the right track with your finances, or simply want to learn more about managing your money well? Whether you are married, single, or engaged—and whether you are thriving financially or currently struggling—this class is for everyone.
Join us for a 5-week journey exploring biblical principles on stewardship, budgeting, generosity, debt, and saving. Our goal is to help you understand what the Bible says about money and to partner with you in practically applying it to your own unique situation.
What We’ll Cover:
- Week 1: Stewardship – Learn what it means to be a steward, managing possessions that ultimately belong to God.
- Week 2: Spending Plan – Living on a budget isn’t strictly required in the Bible, but we believe it is a very wise practice.
- Week 3: Generosity – Explore how our faith and heart posture toward God animate why, where, and how much we give.
- Week 4: Debt – While the Bible doesn’t prohibit the use of debt, it does offer strong warnings against it. We’ll discuss why limiting debt is the best path forward.
- Week 5: Saving – Discover the wisdom of saving for a reason and saving for a season.
The Details:
- When: Starts Sunday, October 18th from 9:00 AM to 10:15 AM (during the first gathering). The class will meet at this time for 5 consecutive weeks.
- Cost: $25 (covers the price of your class workbook).
- How to Sign Up: You can fill out the sign-up sheet at the Connect Center this Sunday, or register electronically using the link below.
