    Apocalypse Unveiled - Part 7: Fighting Dragons

    In Revelation 12, John pulls back the curtain to reveal the deeper reality behind the brokenness of our world. Evil is not just bad behaviour or terrible people, but a parasitic, accusing force that seeks to corrupt God’s good creation. Yet Revelation refuses to let us be intimidated by it. The dragon cannot defeat Christ, cannot destroy God’s purposes, and cannot overcome the faithful witness of the Church. In the end, victory does not come through violence or fear, but through the blood of the Lamb, courageous testimony, and self-giving love. Download the Discussion Guide

    Apocalypse Unveiled Part 6: When Vengeance Flies

    Revelation 8–11 can feel hard to square with the cruciform God revealed at Calvary. With the cross as our lens, the trumpets expose the consequences of vengeance, while the seventh trumpet reveals God’s way: faithful witness in the path of Jesus, until heaven declares, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah.” Download the Discussion Guide

    Apocalypse Unveiled - Part 5: When Empire Rides

    Revelation keeps flipping our expectations: the one who holds history isn’t a Caesar but a slain Lamb, showing that cruciform love is the power that saves. In Revelation 6, the Lamb opens the seals and the four horsemen appear, not as God’s rage but as a revealing of what empire always produces: conquest, violence, exploitation and death. Then Revelation 7 pauses the chaos to show God sealing his people, as John hears 144,000 but sees a countless multitude from every nation, answering “Who can stand?” Those marked by the Lamb, formed by his self-giving way, trusting the Shepherd who will one day wipe every tear.

    Apocalypse Unveiled Part 4: Trolling from the Throne Room

    In Week 4 of our journey through Revelation, we go deeper into John’s throne room vision and follow as he leads us to expect a King stronger and more impressive than any ruler on earth—only to flip the script with something utterly unexpected. We’re left asking what we actually want in a God, and what that reveals about us and the kind of world we’re trying to build. Download the Discussion Guide

    Apocalypse Unveiled Part 3: Sinister Comforts of Babylon

    Week 3 of Revelation takes us straight into the uncomfortable truth behind the seven churches: empire doesn’t only conquer with violence, it conquers with comfort. When life feels easy and our needs seem met, we drift, we soften, we stop resisting. Revelation pulls back the curtain on this illusion and reminds us that the Lamb is already reigning — and that the real danger for the church isn’t persecution, but complacency.

    Apocalypse Unveiled Part 2: Faithfulness Over Outcomes

    In week two of our journey through the Book of Revelation, we wrestle with a hard but necessary truth: faithfulness does not guarantee comfort, safety or success. Drawing on Revelation, Daniel and the prophetic tradition, we discover that allegiance to Jesus often leads to suffering in a broken world. Yet Revelation offers a deeper hope—God is still reigning, the Lamb has already won and faithful witness must endure until the end. The blessing results in not a pain-free life, but the courage to keep following Jesus, resisting empire and holding on to hope--especially in the darkest moments. Download the Discussion Guide

    Apocalypse Unveiled Part 1: Lifting the Veil

    Many of us were handed Revelation through fear: end-times charts, rapture movies, Left Behind and a general sense that this final book of the Bible is a blueprint for catastrophe. In this opening sermon of our new series Apocalypse Unveiled, Pastor Steve names this baggage honestly and then asks us to hit reset, suggesting Revelation is not primarily about escaping the world but, when properly read, it is about calling the Church to faithful witness in the world with a hope that defines us.
