None of It Is Wasted | What Really Happens on Judgment Day (Revelation 20)
What if nothing in your life is actually neutral?Revelation 20 gives us a picture of Judgment Day that most people misunderstand. God isn’t waiting to decide your future—He’s revealing what’s already true. Every decision, every habit, every hidden moment… it all matters more than we think.This message breaks down the Great White Throne Judgment and shows how your everyday life is already pointing toward what you trust most.Big Idea: Your decisions today have a ripple effect in eternity. None of it is wasted.Scripture References:Revelation 20:11–15Daniel 7:9–102 Corinthians 5:10Luke 6:45Matthew 7:1–2Genesis 1–3John 12:31–32Stay Connected:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ya.greenwoodEmail: [email protected] YA at Greenwood:Young Adults at Greenwood exists to lift up the name of Jesus above all else in the hearts and minds of 18–25 year olds.

Thanks for Sharing | Freedom from Porn, Shame, and Hidden Sexual Sin (Revelation 17–18)
Babylon doesn’t look like rebellion.It looks like satisfaction.In Revelation 17–18, John sees a woman clothed in beauty, wealth, and power—and he marvels at her. But what he doesn’t see at first is what’s in her cup.This message pulls back the curtain on the system of Babylon and shows how sin—especially hidden sexual sin—doesn’t just tempt us… it consumes us.Porn doesn’t create hunger.It exploits it.But the gospel tells a different story.Jesus doesn’t take from you—He gives Himself for you.This sermon is an honest, grace-filled call to step out of hiding, bring sin into the light, and find real freedom in Christ.In this message:• Why sin looks so attractive at first• How hidden sexual sin forms and shapes us• The connection between shame, secrecy, and addiction• Why Babylon ultimately collapses in on itself• The difference between being consumed vs. being loved• How the kindness of God leads us to repentanceScripture References:Revelation 17–18Proverbs 27:7John 4:13–181 John 1:5–9Romans 2:4Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram → https://instagram.com/ya.greenwoodEmail us for questions or prayer → [email protected]:Ty Hirsch → https://instagram.com/ty.hirschKeywords: Revelation 17 explained, Babylon Bible meaning, hidden sin sermon, pornography and Christianity, overcoming lust Bible, sexual sin sermon, Christian teaching on porn, Revelation Babylon prostitute meaning, confession of sin Bible, Jesus vs sin sermon

Who Told You That? | Why Christians Should Celebrate the End (Revelation 15–16)
Fear has shaped the way many people think about the end times. But what if the fear isn’t coming from God at all?In Revelation 15–16, John sees heaven celebrating while the world prepares for judgment. Why would the people of God sing in a moment like that? Because they believe something the world does not: God is safe.From the very beginning in Genesis, the serpent planted a lie that God cannot be trusted. That lie created systems of self-protection, power, greed, and religion without surrender — what the Bible calls Babylon. But throughout Scripture, God repeatedly tells humanity the opposite: “Do not be afraid.”This message explores the moment in Revelation when God finally dismantles the system built on that lie — and why the only true safety is found in the blood of the Lamb.You’ll see how:• The song of Moses and the Lamb reveals God’s character• Religious proximity does not equal protection• The story of the woman caught in adultery exposes Babylon’s system• The cross proves God is not hiding anything good from usEveryone ultimately drinks from one of two cups: the cup of Babylon or the cup of Christ.Follow Young Adults at Greenwood:http://instagram.com/ya.greenwoodSpeaker: Ty Hirschhttp://instagram.com/ty.hirschQuestions or prayer requests:[email protected]

I Pledge Allegiance • Mark of the Beast Explained (Revelation 12–14)
In this message from our Revelation* series, Ty Hirsch walks through Revelation 12–14 and the spiritual conflict behind the headlines of our world.Revelation exposes one of Satan’s oldest lies: that our allegiance can be divided. Whether it’s politics, identity, power, or personal control, anything that captures our ultimate loyalty competes with Jesus.John shows us two marks and two kingdoms:• The Mark of the Beast — allegiance to the systems and desires of the world• The Mark of the Lamb — a life shaped by Jesus and marked by His characterThe dragon rules through fear of death.The Lamb conquers through His death and resurrection.So the question Revelation asks every believer is simple:Who truly has your allegiance?---📖 Key PassagesRevelation 12–14Matthew 6:24Galatians 5:19–24John 19:15---📲 Stay ConnectedFollow us on Instagram:@ya.greenwood — [http://instagram.com/ya.greenwood](http://instagram.com/ya.greenwood)Speaker: Ty [email protected] — [http://instagram.com/ty.hirsch](http://instagram.com/ty.hirsch)Questions or prayer requests:[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Come to Jesus • Revelation 8-11
The seven trumpets in Revelation are not random destruction — they are warnings meant to wake the world up.In this message from Revelation 8–11, Ty explains how each trumpet dismantles something humanity trusts apart from God — our savings, our salary, our survival, even the certainty of the sun rising tomorrow.The point is clear: nothing in this world is reliable apart from Jesus.But behind every warning is an invitation from Christ:“Come to Me… and I will give you rest.”Passage: Revelation 8:6–11:19Speaker: Ty HirschFollow: https://instagram.com/ty.hirschGreenwood Young Adults:https://instagram.com/ya.greenwoodQuestions or prayer requests:[email protected]

The Wrath of the Lamb • Revelation 6-7
The Wrath of the LambRevelation 6:1–8:5We don’t struggle with the idea of evil.We struggle with the idea of God doing something about it.In this message, we walk straight into one of the most intense passages in the Bible — the Four Horsemen, the martyrs crying “How long?”, cosmic collapse, and the question nobody can avoid:Who can stand against the wrath of the Lamb?But what if the wrath of God isn’t a contradiction to His love?What if it’s proof of it?We trace the pattern of sin —Deception → Division → Disparity → Death —and have to admit it isn’t just global. It’s personal.We see that:• God’s wrath often begins by removing sin’s leash (Romans 1)• Victims matter deeply to Him• The Lamb who judges is the Lamb who was slain• Jesus absorbs wrath before He ever unleashes it• Freedom isn’t escaping judgment — it’s being washed in His bloodIf the world feels broken…If injustice makes you angry…If you’ve ever wondered why God doesn’t intervene…If you’re unsure what judgment means for you…This message is sobering — and deeply hopeful.The wrath of the Lamb is terrifying if you cling to sin.It is freedom if you cling to Jesus.—Greenwood Young AdultsWeatherford, TXSpeaker: Ty Hirsch | @ty.hirschWe gather every Sunday night at 6:30 PM.Follow along with our Revelation series and future teachings:Instagram: @ya.greenwoodMore info: greenwood.church

Worthy is the Lamb • Revelation 4-5
Greenwood Young Adults – Week 5Revelation 4–5 | “Worthy Is the Lamb”Is sacrifice for Jesus actually worth it?In Week 5 of our Revelation series, we step into the throne room of heaven (Revelation 4–5) and see something shocking: every being in heaven is constantly surrendering everything to God — and no one regrets it. No boredom. No FOMO. No hesitation.But then the scene shifts.A scroll appears. No one is worthy to open it. Humanity’s selfishness disqualifies us from fixing the very evil we created. A Lion is announced…and a slain Lamb appears.This week we wrestle with one central question:Maybe you know Jesus wants your life — but do you believe He’s worth it?—📍 Greenwood Young AdultsWeatherford, TX📲 Follow us for updates and upcoming gatherings:Instagram: @greenwoodya🌐Web: greenwood.church/youngadults🎙 Speaker: Ty Hirsch (@ty.hirsch)

The Bride of Christ, PT2 • Revelation 3
Speaker: Ty Hirsch @ty.hirschJesus finishes His messages to the seven churches in Revelation 3 — Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea — and the question becomes personal:What kind of bride are we becoming?In this message, we explore what it means to look alive but be spiritually dead, how to stop hiding sin and start confessing it, why only Jesus gets to define who truly belongs to Him, and how an earthly focus quietly produces spiritual uselessness.This isn’t about decoding end-times timelines. It’s about seeing Jesus clearly — holy, true, final — and asking whether our lives are actually useful for His Kingdom.Are we managing our image?Are we listening to the wrong voices?Are we too comfortable to be effective?Jesus doesn’t shut these churches down — He warns them and invites them to repent. That invitation still stands.If you missed Part 1, go back and listen to Week 3 to get the full picture of what Jesus is building in His bride.—🔗 Follow Greenwood YA for updates and gatheringsInstagram: @ya.greenwoodWebsite: greenwood.churchSubscribe, rate, and share with someone who needs a clearer view of Jesus.

The Bride of Christ, PT1 • Revelation 2
Revelation: The Beautiful, Radiant, Selfless Bride of Christ — Week 3Revelation 2:8–29Speaker: Ty Hirsch @ty.hirschIn Revelation 2, Jesus speaks to His church with clarity, authority, and covenant love. He affirms faithfulness, confronts compromise, and calls His people back to trust and surrender.In Week 3 of our Revelation series, we examine Jesus’ words to the churches in Smyrna, Pergamum, and Thyatira, and what they reveal about suffering, sin, spiritual drift, and the church’s witness in the world.This message explores:Why suffering does not disqualify the church — and often strengthens itHow tolerating sin quietly erodes spiritual healthThe danger of pursuing “deeper truths” instead of staying centered on the gospelWhat it means for the church to remain a faithful lampstandJesus does not correct His church from a distance — He does so as a Bridegroom who loves her and wants her radiant.📖 Scripture: Revelation 2:8–29Connect with Greenwood YA:📧 Email us: [email protected]📱 Instagram: @greenwoodya🌐 Website: greenwood.church/youngadults

First Love • Revelation 2:1-7
What happens when you do everything right—but your love for Jesus isn’t what it used to be?In Week 2 of our Revelation series, guest speaker Nathan Farley, Young Adults Pastor at Lakepointe Church, walks us through Jesus’ letter to the church in Ephesus—a church applauded for its doctrine, endurance, and moral courage… yet lovingly rebuked for losing its first love.This message is both sobering and hope-filled. Jesus doesn’t shame His church—He invites her back. Back to wonder. Back to passion. Back to the love that changed everything in the first place.If your faith feels more like obligation than delight, this message is for you.Connect & Learn More:🌐 greenwood.church/youngadults📸 Instagram: @ya.greenwood📧 Email: [email protected]

Come, Lord Jesus! • Revelation 1
The book of Revelation isn’t a code to crack, a timeline to obsess over, or a scary story to avoid. It’s an unveiling. A revealing. A clear, bold picture of who Jesus really is.In this opening message, Ty Hirsch walks us through Revelation 1 and reframes how we’re meant to read this book—not as spectators trying to solve a mystery, but as worshipers being invited to obey, trust, and fix our eyes on Jesus. From exile to worship, fear to surrender, confusion to clarity, this sermon sets the foundation for the entire series by putting Jesus back at the center of it all.Revelation isn’t primarily about the end of the world—it’s about the King of heaven revealing Himself to His people. And when we see Him clearly, everything changes.This message launches our new series Meet Us Here and introduces two rhythms we’ll practice all semester as we seek Jesus together—in our sermons, our daily lives, and our prayers.Connect with us:📧 Email: [email protected]📱 Instagram: @ya.greenwood🌐 Website: greenwood.church/youngadultsQuestions?

The Way is Too Great • 1st Kings 19:1-18
Elijah’s story in 1 Kings 19 reminds us that even when God has already proven His power, our perspective can blind us to His presence. After the mountaintop comes the wilderness — and it’s there God teaches Elijah (and us) that The Way exceeds us.In this message, Ty Hirsch challenges us to consider: What story are you telling your heart about what you see? Because the meaning you assign to your moments will determine whether you see God’s power or miss it.💡 “The power is never in the moment — it’s in the meaning.”—Follow along with the Eyes Up series each week as we explore how God opens the eyes of His people to see Him more clearly through every season.📱 Instagram: @greenwoodya✉️ Email: [email protected]🌐 Website: greenwood.church/ya#EyesUp #Jesus #1stKings19 #Church #Sermon #Elijah #GreenwoodYA #YoungAdults #TheWayIsTooGreat

Lock In! • 1st Samuel 16:1-13
In this week’s message, Ty Hirsch continues our Eyes Up series with “Lock In on Jesus.”We look at how Saul’s downfall and David’s rise both reveal a central truth: God doesn’t want us to just appear faithful — He wants us to be faithful.From 1 Samuel 13–16, Ty shows that what God sees is deeper than our image — He looks at our heart.And even through suffering, we can have confidence that the blessing of following Jesus is Jesus Himself.📖 Passages referenced: Proverbs 4:23, 1 Samuel 9–16, 1 John 1:8, Psalm 27, John 16:33, Jeremiah 29:13–14, Romans 1:20, 2 Corinthians 4💬 For questions or prayer requests: [email protected]📸 Follow us: @ya.greenwood🌐 Learn more: greenwood.church/youngadults

There Are No Kings in Israel • The Book of Judges
Eyes Up: Week 7 — “There Were No Kings in Israel” (Judges 19–21)Speaker: Ty HirschThis week in our Eyes Up series, Ty takes us into one of the most sobering and often-avoided passages in Scripture — the final chapters of Judges. In a time when “everyone did what was right in their own eyes,” Israel spirals into chaos, violence, and moral collapse. Yet even in the darkest stories, we see the mercy and kingship of God pointing us toward Jesus — the true King who brings life out of death and light into the deepest darkness.Ty challenges us to examine where we might be doing “what’s right in our own eyes” and to let Christ rule every corner of our lives. Because sin always takes us farther than we want to go, keeps us longer than we want to stay, and costs more than we ever planned to pay — but Jesus went farther still to bring us home.📨 Questions or prayer requests?

You Know Better Than That • The Story of Rahab
In Week 6 of our Eyes Up series, Ty Hirsch walks through Joshua 2 and the story of Rahab — a Canaanite prostitute who believed God’s promises when no one else did. Her story proves that God reveals who He is through what He’s done, and that real faith always shows up in obedience. From the fall of Jericho to the crimson cord that marked Rahab’s salvation, this message points to the gospel truth that Jesus saves all who trust Him — no matter their past.This week’s challenge: if Rahab could trust God with what little she’d heard, how much more should we trust Him now that we know the cross and the empty grave?📖 Scripture: Joshua 2, Hebrews 11:31, John 14:6, Romans 10:9🎙️ Speaker: Ty Hirsch📍 Series: Eyes Up — learning to lift our eyes off ourselves and onto the One who saves.#EyesUp #Rahab #TyHirsch #GreenwoodYA #Joshua2 #Faith #JesusSaves
