We've reached the end of our flight through the Revelation! Seven local congregations were the first to receive this letter of encouragement. Regardless of how dark the days may appear to be around you - hang on! Jesus Christ is on the throne - He is ruling - He is reigning - and for those who overcome, there will be a great reward! Someone has correctly noted that only four chapters of the Bible portray life as it was intended to be: Genesis 1 & 2 and Revelation 21 & 22. The earth is restored to it's original glory, and God makes His dwelling with His people. Key Passage: Revelation 21 & 22

Babylonian Bar and Bistro
Every day followers of Jesus face a myriad of choices that define their citizenship and their loyalties. We walk with a tentative step and live in a constant state of "tension". How can we live IN this Babylonian world, and YET not be poisoned by the waters? Is it possible to sit at the barstool with friends and neighbors who are drinking deeply from the "kegs" of life that offer them power, pleasure, sex, money and fame - and yet be unaffected myself? Won't my friend next to me wonder why I'm not drinking from the same cup as they are? Won't I stand out like a sore thumb? Key Passage: Revelation 17:1 - 19:5

Around the Throne
Spring does in some ways give us hope. Today as we look into Revelation 7 we will see a vision of real, true hope. Last week Pastor Mark unpacked Revelation 6 and the beginning of chapter 8. Those chapters speak of death, war, famine - like being stuck on hold watching only negative stories on the evening news. Our cry today is the same as when Revelation was written: "How long Lord? Who can stand it?" It leaves us feeling like all hope has been yanked out by the roots. In Revelation 7 we see a completely different picture. Right in the middle of this crazy mess, everything seems to go calm and we see a vision of a future with no more hunger, no more thirst, no more tears. Wow! Isn't this something we need to share with the neighbours around us? Key Passage: Revelation 7:9-10
