14. Rev 8: 1-13 The Last Seal & 7 Trumpets Part 1 by Willowburn Church

John's magnificent vision in Revelation bursts from the throne room of heaven to the living room of earth with the question 'Who can stand?' And that's a great question, who can stand in that terrible day? Revelation Chapter 7 tells us in rather surprising ways as the 144,000 - sealed, clean and passionate for their God and wearing their team colours (incandescent white) - become the multitudes with a million plus anthem on their lips. Awesome. Grand. Glorious. The only thing that remains is... Will we stand with them?

The parable of the wrecking ball... The parable of un-mercy, un-grace and un-love. Today a hard look at ourselves in the reflection of the wrecking ball, a localised, contextualised parable from Matthew 5:7 'Blessed are the merciful for they will receive mercy'. How we need mercy. How the world needs it. How our little church needs it. Today the God of mercy who took up his cross to secure our own mercy and grace calls us to 'with all our heart' kingdom mercy. Today seek the King and His Kingdom Mercy.

In the presence of God and His holy angels, in the presence of the Lion who has conquered and the Lamb who was slain, final redemption and final answers. Session 11 in the 'Burn's Revelation Series: Revelation 5:1-14

New Years Day and is it possible in 2017 that we could be whole hearted? Is it possible we could be capital 'C' Convicted? Is it possible we could seek the King and His Kingdom Heart with all our heart this year? A brief tour of 3 Hacksaw Ridges and 'with all their heart' conviction. Hope it encourages you to go heart and soul with the Kings Son this year... wherever He goes.

We all want growth but what does Kingdom growth look like? Today at the 'Burn, Ben takes us through a parable of the Kingdom and shows us what kingdom growth looks like (and what stops it).

What would Jesus' values look like on the job site, in the kitchen, in office etc..? In the famous sermon on the mount Jesus outlines Kingdom Culture. What would that culture look like in your workplace, homeplace and anywhere else? Session 2 of the Kingdom sessions.

Does your work vocationally count for anything in the Kingdom of God? What would it mean to 'Seek first the Kingdom' vocationally and at home? Why bother at all with work - we just need to get through to the weekend... right? Nope, there's a grand plan for work, a grand Kingdom plan... What does it mean to 'rule with God' in Revelation? Have a listen...

Some tough words from a tough Christian eighty years in the fray...
