Who is the Great Multitude? Where have they come from and what do they do? All these questions and more are answered!

A look into who the 144,000 are in Revelation Chapter 7.

We need to be wise how we live. The Bible tells us to number our days rightly so we are encouraged to take time to spend time with God and let Him fill us.

Being a Triune God is what sets our God a part from all others. He is a Father from eternity and therefore His Son is eternal. The Godhead loves from eternity and has no need in Himself for us to love Him!

God speaks to us through His creation! When we look at the universe and the greatness of the Creator it causes us to praise Him. Psalm 19 encourages us to meditate on God, His works and His Word.

The sign for healing in the Old Testament was a serpent on a pole, commanded by God and made by Moses. What was the significance of this and what does it mean for us if we want to see more healings? An encouragement to exalt Jesus and humble ourselves.

In Revelation Chapter 6 six seals are opened. The beginning of God's judgement is released on the earth.

Today many struggle with their identity. For the believer it is even more important to know who we are in Jesus. So...who am I in relation to Jesus, the future, other believers and the things I can't control?

It is time to take time! We can so easily be distracted but God wants to give us tender hearts towards Him before anything else. His Word should be like a hammer, water and a sword to our hearts. Want to know more? Listen to the podcast!

God does not sleep or slumber. He sees everything even when we think our problems are too small. God's timing is perfect...He watches over all our ways and acts.

The conclusion of the genres of the Psalms. Looking at the Psalms of Kingship, Remembrance and Wisdom

Jesus is the "I Am" all the way through! When we get to know Him we get to know the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Good Shepherd, the Anointed King and so much more.

Imagery in Revelation 4 and 5

Our belief in God should be active and should come from knowing Him. Therefore we must diligently seek Him and believe that God responds to His people. It is time to come out of mediocrity and go back to the place of believing that God is wanting to do amazing things through us.

It is more imperative in our post Christian culture that we understand the truth of scripture. An in depth look at the meaning of reconciliation, justification and atonement.

Paul's words to Timothy are for us today. Are we godly people? Do we love well? Are we ready to speak the good news? An encouragement to fight the good fight and prepare for eternity now!

Exploring the genres of the Psalms and why it is helpful to identify them. This talk discusses the Psalms of lament and thanksgiving.

The spiritual world will supercede this one! There will be a time when many things will become obsolete and the "better things" will take their place.

The significance of Baptism from Adam and Eve to the present day. Why is it significant today and what to expect after we have been baptised.

1 Peter 1:3-12 We live in amazing times but our faith will be tested. Suffering will come but we have faith, a living hope and present love.

The Psalms express every human emotion... it is the book we go to when we want to praise, worship, pray and lament. Understanding the poetry and context of the Psalms can help us read them with more appreciation!

Jesus challenges the Pharisees and calls them out for their misunderstanding of the law. Jesus calls us to live righteous lives and to love God with all our heart and our neighbour as ourselves.

What God says about trouble, hardship and difficulty. Persecution and hardship are "normal" in the Christian life but what should our attitude be when we are suffering?

The 2 main things that stop us from resting is busyness and legalism so how do we rest in a God given way? We need to learn how to cultivate the capacity to hear God in times of stillness and quietness...then we will know rest.

God invests in us! He sees the potential in our lives and pours His love into each one of us. Therefore we can trust Him completely.

There is an invitation to come and feast at God's table. It is a table of joy, forgiveness, sonship, abundance and much more! He has called us to this table and to be a table for others. Are you ready?

Jesus values the steadfastness of the Philadelphian Church. Although they had little power He commends their "patient endurance" and rewards them.

The Bible tells us to have faith and believe but sometimes we find it difficult to trust God. Reasons why we might doubt God and weapons to fight fear and unbelief.

Jesus shows Himself to the Church in Philadelphia as the One who has the Key of David, who opens doors and no one can shut. What is this key and who has the authority to open and shut doors?

Rest is about trusting God. We need to allow Him to destroy the taskmasters and learn not to let them cling to us. Rest is about being free from slavery and realising that we are not God. It's harder than we think!

What should the family of God look like? We need to understand our part in this family and be responsible for it. It is important to know His word and spend time with our Father. When we come together we all have something to give!

To begin to understand the importance of rest or Shabbat we first must have a biblical understanding of work. It is in the context of work that we can begin to understand the importance of God's command to us to rest.

We know that God looks for the lost but we are also called to seek or look for Him. Seeking is a journey and God can take us to unexpected places. This is an encouragement to seek God's ways first then expect God to do more!

The seven spirits of God and the significance of the seven spirits in creation and the significance of the Menorah.

The Church in Sardis: their problems and Jesus' solutions.

The claims and works of Jesus are astonishing! He is the ultimate Superhero.

An in depth look at the term "pierced ears" A call to the importance of listening to God. We need to take time in our busy lives to listen to Him.

God knows the beginning and the end therefore He knows my destiny. The seasons come through our lives but He is with us in every step we take.

Everything we have comes from God and He supplies ALL our needs. We are called to offer everything we have to God but He out does us in giving!!

A checklist of 5 things that the church has to do to please Jesus.

As Christians we are called to be different, to yoke ourselves to Jesus and abide in Him. How do we engage in living the way Jesus told us to?

There is a time to let go and a time to holdfast. How we discern what to let go of and what to cling on to.

The Church in Pergamum knew how to hold-fast to Jesus but there was compromise too in the Church. Jesus reveals Himself to this Church as the One who has the sharp two-edged sword so He tells them to repent of their compromise and live holy lives.

God is always calling us to go deeper with Him, to "Come up higher" to give us fresh revelation of who He is. He wants to show us His love for us so we can love others well. He also wants us to honour those who have taken the time to plant seeds in our lives.

Jesus reveals Himself to the Church in Smyrna as the First and Last and the One who died but came to life. This is to emphasise that no matter how great their suffering is their faithfulness will be rewarded.
