I’m Tom Nicholas — a pastor, teacher, and community builder living in Billings, Montana. My life and ministry flow from one heartbeat: to see the Church alive — Spirit-filled, rooted in Scripture, and moving with Jesus into the world. I serve as a pastor, chaplain, and mentor, helping people grow in faith, leadership, and everyday discipleship. Whether around a campfire, in a coffee shop, or through digital spaces, I believe the gospel belongs where life happens — in the field, among the people, and around the table. Through The Church Alive, I write about biblical leadership, spiritual formation, and building vibrant, missional communities that reflect the love and courage of Christ.

Category: Three Angels Messages

At the center of Revelation 14 stand three angels proclaiming the final gospel call to a world on the edge of eternity. Their messages reveal the closing work of Christ’s atonement in the heavenly sanctuary and invite all people to worship the Creator, reject deception, and remain faithful through the coming crisis.
This section unpacks each message—the call to true worship, the warning against Babylon’s fall, and the endurance of the saints—showing how they reveal God’s character of love and justice.
The Three Angels’ Messages are not a threat but an appeal: a call to restoration, truth, and loyalty to Jesus alone. Here you’ll find reflections that connect prophecy to discipleship, helping God’s people prepare their hearts and lives for the soon return of Christ.
