The Bittersweet Life
Eric Marvin, Pastor
In Week 6 of Revelation 2026, Pastor Eric Marvin examines Revelation 10 and the interlude between the sixth and seventh trumpets. In the middle of judgment and chaos, God reminds His people that His plan is still unfolding exactly as He intends.
John encounters a mighty angel carrying a small scroll and is commanded to eat it. The scroll is sweet in his mouth but bitter in his stomach, illustrating the reality of following Jesus. The gospel is wonderful news, but faithfully living it out in a rebellious world often brings difficulty and opposition.
Pastor Eric explores God's sovereignty, the limits of human understanding, and the importance of trusting God's revealed truth even when we do not have every answer.
This message serves as an encouragement to believers that God's plan cannot be stopped. His purposes will succeed, His kingdom will come, and His people are invited to faithfully participate in His mission regardless of the challenges they face.
