Sermon

We long for rest but struggle to get it. Probably what we long for is more than just stopping work, but full rest and fellowship with God. Rest for our whole being. Revelation 14 describes the alternative realities for our eternal rest, depending on our relationship with Christ.

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.

In the modern world there are all kinds of beeps that technology can make at us – cars, fridges, washing machines, smoke alarms. We can get so used to them that we tune them out. The trumpets in Revelation 8 and 9 function in a similar way. Warning those who oppose God that judgement is […]

There can be many difficulties in this life, and the book of Revelation makes it clear that while we may be grieved, we should not be surprised. Between now and Christ’s return we expect war, economic hardship, and death, but God is on the throne. The question is asked “who can stand?” The answer is […]

It is so easy for us to go through the motions of living the Christian life, and neglecting worship – Seeing and responding to God’s glory.
