This week, our Ordinand robin unpacks Revelation chapter 4 where we see an incredible vision of heavenly worship. From this passage, we discover the power, the purpose and the person of worship. Worship is so powerful that we begin to reflect what we worship, and the driving force of worship is love. We worship God in response to his incredible love for us displayed when he created the world and died on the cross so we can come to know and experience this love in our lives. And as we lay aside our idols and worship the God we were made for, we are transformed by love, for love. 

Our curate Mike takes a look at Genesil 2 and how it can help us understand the storms of life, why they happen and how we can hold on to hope in the midst of them.
