Revelation Church Manchester

13th December 2020  John 1.9  This year we've known darkness like no other. And yet the good news is that Jesus came for a people who find themselves in darkness. He comes right into our darkness to bring his true light. 

6th December 2020  Isaiah 8.21 - 9.2  The joy is coming, but first there's space for longing and lament. In this week's message on advent, Duncan talks about why this is so important, perhaps this year more than most.

29th November 2020  Luke 2:25-38  A tiny baby, a big plan. This week Rhian shows us that when Simeon and Anna met Jesus, they recognised God's plan of salvation for the world.

22nd November 2020  Revelation 21-22  We've come to the end of Revelation and what an adventure it's been! In this final message of our Autumn series, Duncan speaks about the marriage of the lamb and his bride and the new and better Eden where we will be fulfilled forever. It's pretty great stuff!

15th November 2020  Luke 15:17-32  Have you left the celebration? This week we had the delight of hearing Steve, from King's Church in Birmingham, talk on the story of the prodigal son. He challenges us to consider whether we can see ourselves in the character of the older brother.

8th November 2020  Revelation 21  Want to know what you'll look like in eternity? We get a glimpse at the end of Revelation and it's pretty stunning. Duncan's message this week continues in Revelation 21, where the heavenly city and the bride of the lamb are in the spotlight.

1st November 2020  Revelation 21  We're back in our Revelation series this week, and we find out a bit of what the new creation is going to be like and there's some great news... God will dwell with his people! Duncan shows us why this is worth getting excited about and how this makes a difference here and now.

25th October 2020  John 4  Can Jesus heal from a distance? Does Jesus heal today? This week we're taking a break from Revelation to look at John 4, where we see that Jesus' power to heal goes beyond every limitation we might try to apply.

18th October 2020  Revelation 20  Continuing in Revelation 20 this week, Duncan looks at the final judgment. A challenging passage, but one that offers a prophetic call on us to live our lives for Jesus!

11th October 2020  Revelation 20  It's controversial. It's challenging. But it's also a beautiful vision of what the church is called to be today. Duncan opens up Revelation 20, the most hotly debated passage in Revelation, and we see how it calls us to a life of following Jesus whatever the cost.

27th September 2020  Luke 7.11-17  Our dead parts do not put Jesus off. Tim shows us from Luke 7 that Jesus he not afraid of our deadness, he wants to touch it & make us alive!

27th September 2020  Revelation 19  In the third part of the series we are invited to simply behold the magnificent vision of Jesus in Revelation 19. And when we see him as he truly is, we see even evil in its most fearsome form has no hope against him, and we can have certainty in our future with him that changes us today.

20th September 2020  Revelation 18  This week we see how the imagery in chapter 18 reveals the ugliness of the age that we currently live in. Duncan encourages us that the church should resist the current culture, but also rest in worshipful assurance, knowing that Jesus has already won victory in this fight.

13th September 2020  Revelation 1:1-14  This week Duncan begins our new series in the book of Revelation. We're given perspective in this age of uncertainty and encouragement in our certain future in the revelation of Jesus Christ.

23rd August 2020  Genesis 15:1-6  How should we be responding in all of the doubt and uncertainty we continue to find ourselves in? Duncan looks at the journey of Abram, and how even in these times, he was able to choose faith, and tells some of our story as a church.

August 16th 2020  Ephesians 2:11-22  We have a message from Scrivin Kamanga this week, who leads a group of churches in Malawi that we are partnered with. He is speaking to us about how Paul teaches us that we are all one in Christ, no matter our background or the colour of our skin.

9th August 2020  1 Thessalonians 5:18 & Romans 8:28  This week we have Rose speaking to us in the final message of our summer series. Rose shares her own experiences with thanksgiving and encourages us to respond to all situations in our own lives by giving thanks to God. As we make time each day to bring him thanks the joy of the lord will grow in our lives.

2nd August 2020  Galatians 2:11-21  Have you ever wondered how you can have more of Jesus? Rob talks to us from Galatians this week. We hear how as we invite Jesus into our lives and centre our thinking and decisions around him, we begin to experience the fullness of what he has to offer us in our lives on earth.

26th July 2020  John 4:19-24 This week, Leigh talks about how we are made to be worshippers of God and shares how her life of worship has grown in recent years. Worship isn't only about singing, and it's not just for Sundays, but it is something that we can enjoy in all aspects of our lives.

19th July 2020  Philippians 4:4-7  What does the Bible say about coping with times where we feel anxious? Rhian opens up Paul's letter to the Philippians, and shares some of her own experience of his encouragement to stop looking inward, and start looking upward.

12th July 2020  Matthew 6:7-9  In the first of the messages from our summer series, Matt Berry shares an excellent message on how we should see God as our Father and the journey he has been on personally. We are invited into a wonderful family of brothers and sisters with Christ by our heavenly Father.

5th July 2020  Philippians 3:12-17 Duncan talks about the Christian life being a race of endurance, and how we should receive the power of this calling from God. Through the hardships of the Christian life, we can be encouraged that Jesus has already won the race for us, and look to one another in the church to spur each other on in this race.

28th June 2020  Genesis 50  This week Duncan concludes our Joseph series. We see that, despite the evil in the story, and in our world today, God's work prevails and the story ends with victory over evil. Just as we've been reminded throughout the story, what was meant for evil God intended for good!

21st June 2020  Genesis 48 & 49  As we near the end of our Joseph series, Duncan speaks to us on the blessing that Jacob gives to each of his sons at the end of his life and the lessons we can learn from them. We can be encouraged also, that Jesus speaks blessing over us as a church just as Jacob speaks blesses the repentance and perseverance in his sons.
