Revelation

The closing words of the bible end with a promise for Jesus- that he is coming. This morning we look at the last words of the bible and think about how the return of Jesus should affect our life and faith now.

There are many reasons that Christians can be tempted to give up and fall away from Christ. Revelation gives us a glimpse into the future happiness of all those who belong to Jesus, and encourages us to hold fast, because the city of God is worth persevering for. John explains.

The closing verses in Revelation 21 are pictures of the home that all humanity longs for, whether we realise it or not. These are symbols our eternal home. Peter explains.

When we think of all that opposes the church in the world, it can be so easy to become discouraged and to neglect public and private worship. Revelation 19 shows us a glimpse into the future that should fuel the hopeful worship of the church. This week John preaches from Revelation 19.

Many people think that while they are not for Jesus, they aren’t against him. In Revelation 13 we recognise that there is no neutral ground, wither we serve and love Jesus, or we are (perhaps unwittingly) serving those who oppose God. Peter explains.

Sometimes it appears to us that bad is stronger than good. That Satan, who embodies opposition to Christ, is winning. Revelation 12 shows us behind the scenes and helps us understand that while Satan is powerful, God preserves his church and has defeated Satan. John explains.

We continue our study in Revelation with chapters 10-11. In the midst of struggle and challenge, the church is called to more than waiting – we are to be a witness to the truth of the gospel. Peter Explains.
