In Part 1 of our Revelation series, we saw how Jesus spoke words of comfort and hope to the seven churches in Asia. This week, in Part 2, Pastor Tony Boos takes us into Revelation 12 to tackle the unseen, spiritual war raging around us—and the ultimate victory that is already ours in Christ.

While life on earth often feels like an uphill battle against temptation, suffering, and doubt, Scripture assures us that Satan is a defeated enemy whose head was crushed at the cross. We are not fighting for victory, but from the victory Jesus won through His death and resurrection. Tune in to find renewed strength and well-grounded hope for whatever personal battles you are facing today.

Jesus Made Perfect Through Suffering (Ep148)

Hebrews 2 says it pleased the Father to make Jesus perfect through suffering. Does this imply that Jesus was less than divine until he died on the cross? If not, how can God be completed by suffering? And what does this tell us about our suffering? Chuck and Aaron talk about these questions on this episode of Craving Answers, Craving God.
