The first time I got Covid was when we were visiting my sister in England. After I had served my time in isolation, I began going on walks to get some exercise. On one occasion, a ferocious dog came running towards me, I had a slight panic, until I saw the chain! After this I…

What are you looking forward to in the New Year? Maybe it’s a holiday, or a wedding. Maybe you’re not looking forward to anything in particular, in fact maybe you’re dreading something. If you’re a Christian, no matter whether you are married or single, you have something wonderful to look forward, in fact you have…

As we head towards a new year it’s interesting to think who will rise to the top and who will be dropped or cancelled? Or on a bigger scale, which nations will prosper and which will collapse. In Revelation 18 we see a shocking fall, a fall of something that looked so secure collapsing in…

You and I are made to worship God. He’s our loving creator, and we owe Him everything! We are called to be faithful to Him. But it’s so easy to be led astray to worship the things He has made instead of him. This is spiritual adultery. Throughout the Bible God is described as being…

So far in Revelation, we have had the 7 seals being opened and the 7 trumpets, you might remember we saw that these were describing the whole time in between Jesus’ ascension and his return.

(Revelation 13:4) Why not just go with the flow, go with what makes life easiest?…

In Revelation 12 we saw Satan was determined to wipe out Jesus. But Jesus defeated Satan at the cross and through his resurrection (Revelation 12:5). Satan can no longer touch Jesus, so instead he is raging against followers of Jesus. Revelation 13 shows us how he’s at work in 2 different ways, and why it…

It’s the time of year for nativity plays, but I bet you’ve never seen one with a great red, seven headed dragon, with 10 horns, and the baby in the manger holding a crowbar. That’s the kind of nativity that we get in Revelation 12. It’s not that John is telling us that there was…

Yesterday we saw the church has a bittersweet message, in Revelation 11 we see what the church can expect as she shares the message. The first thing she can expect is ultimate protection from God. In chapter 7, God marks His people as His own, sealing us with the gift of His Holy Spirit. Now…
