Victorious | Matt Proctor, 2013 NACC PresidentIf the New Testament was a neighborhood, then at the near end of the street would stand the Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are familiar territory—warm, well-lit, welcoming homes. But at the far end of the street, shrouded in darkness, stands the haunted house of . . . Revelation! The last book of the Bible can seem scary, and not everyone wants to go in there.

But Revelation proclaims a powerful message of hope: No matter how bad things get, at the end of the story we win. At the 2013 NACC, our theme is Victorious, and you’ll want to come Tuesday and stay through Friday as we preach through every chapter in Revelation. Here’s a preview:

Encounter Christ Powerfully. On Tuesday evening, I will open with Revelation 1, reminding us that if we are to be victorious, we need a powerful vision of Christ. In Revelation 1, Jesus is not a meek and mild-mannered Mr. Rogers Messiah. He is a huge and towering figure, the Lion of Judah who will not be tamed, powerful enough to confront our sin and to comfort our fears.

Love the Church Honestly. On Wednesday morning, Aaron Brockett of Trader’s Point Christian Church in Indianapolis will walk us through the seven churches in Revelation 2-3. The churches are a mess—just like the ones we know. But Jesus still loves these churches, and we’ll be challenged to love our own imperfect congregation.

Worship god Selflessly. Also on Wednesday morning, Randy Harris of Abilene Christian University will usher us into heaven’s throne room in Revelation 4-5. As we enter this cosmic corporate worship service, we will suck in our breath, shield our eyes and drop to our knees before a God so glorious we can only describe Him with thunder, lightning, rainbows and jewels. He is the reason we will be victorious.

Endure Suffering Patiently. On Wednesday evening, Jon Weece of Southland Christian Church in Lexington will take us through the trials of Revelation 6-9: war, famine, murder, earthquakes. When we suffer, we sometimes ask, “How long, Sovereign Lord?” (Rev 6: 10). But God’s people endure patiently because we know a time is coming when “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes” (Rev 7:17).

Bear Witness Boldly. On Thursday morning, Frank Smith, Jr. of Christ’s Church for Our Community in Louisville will hold up for us God’s spokesmen in Revelation 10-11—the apostle John and the two witnesses. They each speak God’s message, despite persecution. Their actions are courageous, their example is contagious, and we’ll be challenged to be bold witnesses for Christ.

See Evil Clearly. On Thursday night, Kyle Idleman of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville will show us how evil is personified in Revelation 12-18 as a violent dragon, two grotesque beasts, and a prostitute. We need these shocking images because the world seeks to dress up ugly realities in beautiful disguises. To be victorious, we must see evil as it truly is,

avoid being seduced by our culture, and remain fiercely faithful to Jesus.

Welcome Salvation Joyfully. On Friday morning, Rick Atchley of The Hills Church of Christ in Fort Worth will bring us to the story’s climactic moment in Revelation 19-20—the final showdown between our adversaries and our Hero. The good news: Christ will return, the dragon will be defeated, and God’s eternal kingdom will be established! That coming salvation prompts in Revelation 19 the only New Testament usage of “Hallelujah!”

desire Heaven deeply. To close the convention on Friday morning, special guest Joni Eareckson Tada will take us on a tour of the new heavens and new earth in Revelation 21-22. Sometimes we can get wrapped up thinking about this world and fail to focus on the next. But when this lady who has spent the last 45 years in a wheelchair as a quadriplegic speaks, I think we will all find our hearts stirred with a longing for heaven. As we head home, we’ll all be looking forward to Home!

regardless of a person's understanding of eschatology in the Book of revelation and regardless of a person's understanding of the structure and symbols in the Book of revelation, there are a plethora of commands in the Book of revelation to obey. One verse contains four commands. Another verse contains two commands. Other commands are clearly implied. Four times in the book there is this phrase, "This calls for..." There are commands to repent, to hear, to be faithful, to wake up, to come out, and to praise God to mention just a few. Each day, some of the primary imperatives of the Book of revelation will be studied in their context with application given for today.

they will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them . . . and with him will be his called, chosen, and faithful followers.

revelation 17:14 niV

When the battle you’re fighting seems hopeless, the 2013 North American Christian Convention invites you into

a story that will end “Victorious.” Many avoid the book of Revelation, thinking it too hard to understand, but the

2013 NACC will dig deep into the Bible’s last book. Written to persecuted and discouraged Christians, Revelation

proclaims a powerful message of hope. At the end of time, Jesus will triumph over all the forces of darkness!

At NACC 2013, we’ll hear overcoming testimonies from persecuted believers from around the globe. We’ll pray

and worship and fellowship and look forward in joyful anticipation of heaven. Life is a battle, and if you’ve ever

felt discouraged and hopeless, join us in Louisville. We will be reminded: If we stay faithful in the middle of the

story, we’ll be victorious in the end!
