The Fierce Love of God
We have seen the epic drama of an angry dragon making war on the people of God in a last ditch effort to cause damage to the plan of God. While the victory of God is assured, God still has to watch His people endure the threats of the dragon. How will God respond when His people are threatened? How will He display His love to them?
Victory Uncovered (Easter Sunday)
War has captured the imagination of poets, authors and artists. Mainly because of the great themes of human emotion that all seem to find a place on the battlefield, but also because the average person needs to be transported to the battlefield. We don’t know what war is like so we need these artists to take us there. Revelation 12 stands as a vivid and powerful description of another battle that we need to be transported to, an invisible battle…
Good Friday: The God who makes peace
Our history is marked with hostility. From brokenness in simple relationships to hostility on a global scale. Some may ask where God is in the midst of this hostility; has He abandoned us? Where is God when we are crying out for peace? The story of Good Friday reveals something stunning about God and our quest for peace on earth.
The Witness of the Church
Many in the Christian church have theories about what the church should do with the increasingly hostile or ignorant response of our society to Christianity. But here in Revelation 10-11 God uncovers how His true church does respond when confronted with a hostile context. This reality should redirect our thinking from the speculative theories and towards the eternal call that God has one His church.
Judgment Uncovered
Living in a peaceful and happy society it is easy to feel like we humans have got things pretty well sorted. However, what we see in front of us is only a super thin slice of the broader story of human history. There is a long history of rebellion and destruction that follows us everywhere. For this reason God has always sought to show His displeasure at our rebellion through ongoing judgment against sin. Chapters 8-9 of Revelation uncover the…
The People of God Uncovered
In chapter 6 we shuddered as we heard that the world would never cease to be plagued by suffering, war, poverty and injustice. Well it seems that God knows how harrowing this revelation would be for His people because instead of moving onto the 7th seal He unpacks a wonderful vision for John and the churches that is designed to reassure us of His power and salvation.
Suffering Uncovered
In the vivid throne room scene of last week the conquering Lion that looked like a Lamb, Jesus the Christ, was the only one worthy enough to take the scroll of God’s purposes for the world and open its seals. But as Jesus opens those seals a frightening vision emerges… a vision of unparalleled suffering for the earth. But this vision is supposed to be for the good of the churches, to encourage them to cling to Jesus. So join…
Worship Uncovered
After speaking out letters to the seven churches, Jesus causes John to be caught up in a vision of Heaven by the power of the Holy Spirit. As John sees the throne room of God uncovered, a dramatic scene takes place before him. And as we hear John’s account of this spectacular sight, we will be confronted by the magnitude of our God and why our worship of Him matters.
