In this sermon series on The Book of Revelation, Orchard Church walks Christians through a book that is often difficult to understand. Revelation warns of eternal judgment for those who side with Satan and pursue the system of the world. The church, on the other hand, is called to persevere in the midst of persecution so that we might obtain our reward in a new heaven and a new earth where we will enjoy God forever.
