How should our hope in God shape our lives? This week, we discuss Christian hope: how it differs from the hope sought after by the world, our opportunity and calling to share hope with others, and the power of the living hope found in Jesus Christ.

How can we avoid being tepid in our relationship with Christ? This week, we look at the scathing words of Jesus' to the church in Laodicea: how the comforts of the world and self-satisfaction can make us numb to Christ's calling, how Jesus' longs for us to be alive and earnest in our faith and how, by being persistent in our pursuit of Him, God will answer with grace.

Where can we find the strength to stand against worldly opposition?

What do we do when we find ourselves stagnant in our faith? This week, we look at Jesus' message to the church in Sardis, the ways in which believers can "fall asleep" in their faith, and the remedy given by Christ: to remember the truth we have been given and to respond by turning to Him.

What does it mean to "repent" and why do we need to do it? This week, we look at Jesus' words to the church in Thyatira and how it should spur us to repentance, what that term means (and, crucially, what it does not), and how repentance is a gift which affords us strength and self-respect through the grace of God.

How should the church respond to the world's tolerance of sin? This week, we heed Jesus' warning to the church in Pergamum as we explore the danger in negotiating with a worldly desire to ignore sin, the blessing found in God's commands, and the hope given by the gospel, which both affirms the reality of sin but assures us of life through Jesus Christ.

How are Christians to respond to persecution?
