This week we are beginning a sermon series in the book of Romans. The book of Romans was written by the apostle Paul to unite the Roman church for gospel mission. At the start of the letter Paul starts with the gospel. Peter explains.

The book of Hebrews presents for us Christ as the substance of which the Old Testament sacrificial system was only a shadow. In chapter 10 we learn of the confidence we can have as believers because of Jesus' work on our behalf.

The closing words of the bible end with a promise for Jesus- that he is coming. This morning we look at the last words of the bible and think about how the return of Jesus should affect our life and faith now.

There are many reasons that Christians can be tempted to give up and fall away from Christ. Revelation gives us a glimpse into the future happiness of all those who belong to Jesus, and encourages us to hold fast, because the city of God is worth persevering for. John explains.

The closing verses in Revelation 21 are pictures of the home that all humanity longs for, whether we realise it or not. These are symbols our eternal home. Peter explains.

In Revelation we have a description of the hope that Christians have for the future. As we go through this life, there can be many tears and struggles, and the promise for those in cross is that one day we will be truly home. Not more tears, pain or sadness, in a remade universe. Peter preached from Revelation 21:1-7 on light in the darkness.

Sometimes we can think that Satan is more powerful than he really is. Though he is a great enemy of the church Revelation 20 give every Christian confidence that God remains on the throne, and Satan's end is certain. This passage encourages to remain faithful to Christ, since he will surely defeat death and the devil. Peter explains.

When we think of all that opposes the church in the world, it can be so easy to become discouraged and to neglect public and private worship. Revelation 19 shows us a glimpse into the future that should fuel the hopeful worship of the church. This week John preaches from Revelation 19.

Throughout history there have been many empires that have come and gone, and often alongside the empire is a religious or philosophical and economic system that would lure Christians away from Christ. In Revelation the image of Babylon the great prostitute is used to illustrate this trap. Revelation shows us the end of Babylon the great Prostitute, so that we might remain faithful to Christ. John explains.

In Revelation 17 we learn more about Babylon and the Beast. The Beast represents world powers that might threaten us to abandon Jesus, while Babylon, the great prostitute similarly represents the world system that would tempt us away from faithfulness to Jesus. We the church are like a bridge waiting to be married to him, and are called to faithfulness. Peter explains.
