What do you expect life to be like as you await the coming of the King? Revelation 8-11 tells us to expect chaos in God’s world. But in the midst of that chaos we can have confidence in God’s word: to allow it to nourish us and to preach it to others.

Where do you ‘spend’ the glory, honour and power you have to give away?  There are many competing claims on us – many are unworthy. In Revelation 4 and 5, a door is opened to the heavenly reality.  God is revealed as the maker and ruler of all.   Christ is seen as the Victorious Saviour.  […]
