Revelation 1
Pastor Wes Denham
In this opening sermon on Revelation, Pastor Wes teaches from Chapter 1, emphasizing that this book is an unveiling—not a mystery—meant to reveal Jesus Christ in His glory. He highlights that the message is specifically for the Church, to warn, prepare, and bless those who read and keep its words (Revelation 1:1–3).
Pastor Wes outlines John’s authority as the author—one who walked closely with Jesus—and recounts John’s exile to Patmos after surviving an attempted execution. He describes the heavenly vision where Jesus appears in brilliant glory, affirming His identity as “the Alpha and Omega.” Pastor Wes explains the seven spirits (Isaiah 11:2) and their attributes—wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord.
He also contrasts Jesus’ second coming with the Rapture, stressing the importance of discernment in visions and dreams. Through personal testimony and scripture, Pastor Wes reminds listeners that Jesus walks among His churches and still speaks today. The chapter concludes with assurance: Jesus holds the keys to death and Hades, and every word He speaks is eternally true.
Pastor Wes begins a series on Revelation by focusing on the unveiling of Jesus Christ in Chapter 1. He explains the blessing promised to those who read and hear the book, underscores Jesus’ divine identity, and urges believers to stay grounded in the Word. Pastor Wes reminds us that Revelation is not a book to fear, but to understand and trust—because Jesus walks among His Church and is coming again.
