There are two songs that appear in Revelation 4 and 5. One is the hymn of creation, the other the anthem of salvation. Both underline that God is in control.

In Revelation 3, we meet three churches for whom the challenge isn’t so much external, but internal. A challenge to look less and less like the world, and more and more like Jesus.

Jesus could have written to seven nations, seven companies, seven schools. But instead, he chose to address seven churches. In pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of each church, it’s a clear statement: No one loves the church more than Jesus!

Revelation 1 presents an awesome Jesus. He is the who we can respond to in awe, in worship and with great comfort.

Love Without Limit / John 13:1-17

God’s heart for children can be captured by three words

Extraordinary thankfulness is the appropriate response to extraordinary grace 

We’ve all got the same amount of time on our hands. But in Lev 23, God outlines how that time is to be used to reflect his holiness. Ultimately, Jesus is the one who offers the ultimate rest so we can delight in God. 

As Christians how should we think about this topic? How does God speak about this this topic? Mal explores this topic from the neglected book of Song of Songs as we explore God's wisdom on this important area of life.

What's with all the names that appear in Romans 16? Paul paints a beautiful picture of diversity, unity and faithfulness for God's people.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to approach God. That’s why God instituted priests. Thanks to Jesus being our Great High Priest, we can approach God knowing for sure we are accepted by Him. 

Not only does our sin run deep, but our sin spreads wide. But thanks be to God who welcomes us with a love that goes above and beyond. A love that is so wide and long and high and deep in Jesus. 

Leviticus 1 teaches us to serve our Holy King with selfless acts of devotion, to follow the example of Christ in laying down our lives and giving ourselves to God in extravagant and even wasteful ways. The great confidence we have when we follow Christ is that our worship is made pleasing to God because of his blood shed on the cross.

We all crave community. But one of the remarkable things is that the church is a community created by God that we have the privilege of displaying in all it’s beauty.

We can see that God’s love for us is real through the sacrifice of his son Jesus, and the fact that he loved us even when we didn’t love him.

Jesus shows that he has abundant rest and blessings for those who seek him. And that by putting us through trials, he shows us his glory as God with us.

Being a Christian isn’t easy. Opposition comes our way. Not to mention the command to make disciples that tugs away at our guilt or lack of effectiveness. But at the end of the day, Jesus is worth it!!!

Jesus conquers what conquers us

Jesus continues to demonstrate his immense power. But this power isn’t used for his own personal good. Instead it’s an invitation to run to him who cares. 

Parables divide people into insiders and outsiders and It’s only those who come to Jesus, by hearing his word, who ultimately discover the secrets of God’s kingdom

To be in the family of God is to belong to Jesus, to believe in Jesus and to bow to the will of God.

We must never forget the fact that serving is our true and proper worship in response to God’s immense mercy.
