The First Day...
Easter is the pinnacle of the Christian calendar and the centerpiece of the Christian faith. In the resurrection of Jesus Christ the announcement of hope rang through loud and clear! This is the first day of a "new creation" - was Jesus' cry! What was old is being made new; what was broken is being restored; where sin had marred, grace renewed. Bottom line... the resurrection is the starting point for something new! Key Passage: Revelaton 11:15

And so it begins...
This weekend's text is one of the most difficult to face - the reality of the warning blast of the trumpet - judgment is on the way! God is calling (blasting out the message)... "Turn to me in repentance!" Some will... some won't... Key Passage: Revelation 8:6-11:19

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

When Empires Collide
Revelation 6 reveals that while conquest, war, famine, and death are part of the daily news of history, that Jesus Christ is indeed on the throne of the universe and He does indeed respond to the prayers of His people! The day is coming, when the justice of God will be seen clearly throughout His creation - and in the meanwhile - His children hold on tight! In challenging times, the victory of Christ is our anchor! Key Passage: Revelation 6:1-17 & 8:1-5

Conquering Lamb
Today we're in Revelation 5 and looking at the conquering king of kings! The upside-down application, however, will give your head a spin. Instead of seeing the roaring "Lion of Judah" - we encounter "Mary's Little Lamb " carrying the scars of battle! What we discover in this text is a key to understanding the entire book, because it tells us not only how the lamb conquers, but how we can conquer too - and it may not be what you think! Key Passage: Revelation 5:1-14

Only One King
Today we're stepping into 'Part Two' of our study in the Revelation. This week we journey with John into the throne room of heaven itself and are confronted with the key question of the ages: Who will be the Lord of my life? There is only one KING, we understand clearly, but the question remains: will I acknowledge His right to rule and reign in me?! Key Passage: Revelation 4:1-11

Broken people... welcome!
There is one common denominator that binds all of us together, regardless of our age, or race, or socio-economic background. All of us have experienced times of brokenness in our lives and have needed not only the grace of God but also the love of His people. Today we're talking about the journey of brokenness and healing and we're going to gather around the communion table where our broken lives are made whole again. The bottom line? Broken people are welcome!

Useful?
The 7th church to be addressed in our study, receives the harshest criticism. All the other churches seemed to recognize that they were in a "war-zone" spiritually speaking. The church at Laodicea however, felt that they were doing quite well, and that they didn't need a thing! Rather than living as exiles, waiting for the deliverance of Jesus, they had settled in and were quite comfortable with life in the here-and-now. As such, they were no longer useful to the Master, and He was ready to "spit them out." The Laodicean letter is sobering, because it hits so close to home. I hope and pray that God will call out the "dangerous" spirit of exile among us? How much do we LONG for the kingdom to break in? How much do we pray? Do our songs reflect this longing? Are we anchored to the promises of God? Have we given up? Key Passage: Revelation 3:14-22

The Door is Open!
The church at Philadelphia receives no rebuke - just encouragement to keep on keeping on! Jesus acknowledges that they have "little strength" and that from a worldly perspective they might not think they have much to offer, but He places in front of them open doors that He expects them to walk through! How relevant to us today! Many believers think that they have little to offer the "kingdom" of God. But as the old saying goes: "Little is much, when God is in it." So many doors of opportunity for salvation, for service, for endurance stand open in front of us. The only question is: Will we step in? Key Passage: Revelation 3:7-13
