The 1,000 years of Jesus' rule and reign appear only here in Scripture, so it would be a mistake to put too much weight on any one supposedly definitive interpretation. But what is clear in Revelation 20 is that Satan is finally defeated, Jesus' victory begun on the cross will finally come to full fruition, and God's people will rule and reign with him over his new creation.

Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.

Everyone has developed his/her own sense of right and wrong. It differs from person to person. Do the things that we believe are wrong qualify as sin? Who decides what is sin and what isn’t? Or is sin simply an outmoded, obsolete concept? Episode 60 of Craving Answers, Craving God addresses this topic. It’s our most recent installment. Give it a listen!
