Many people approach Revelation with fear or confusion—but what if its purpose is actually to wake us up to reality?
In this sermon from New City Church, Pastor Trey walks through the powerful imagery of the Seven Trumpets in Revelation 8–11. These visions of judgment are not meant to ultimately terrorize believers but to reveal something deeper: God sees the suffering and injustice of the world, and he is not indifferent to it.
The trumpet blasts are warnings meant to turn hearts back to God. They expose the false promises of the idols we trust—power, wealth, security—and invite us to find life in Jesus instead.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why Revelation uses apocalyptic imagery
• How suffering can become a spiritual wake-up call
• What the trumpet judgments reveal about God’s justice
• Why repentance and hope sit at the center of Revelation
Even in its most sobering passages, Revelation points us toward the ultimate hope: the kingdom of God is coming, and Jesus will make all things new.
