Revelation 2, part 1

This Sunday we are delving into the second part of the book of Revelation, with the first of the letters to the seven churches. Though John recorded these messages from Jesus to each individual, actual, historical church in Asia minor, as with the whole of the book, they are for us today as well. As we saw in chapter one, it is "to him who reads".

The main message of this section of the book is: the Church should be a response to who Jesus is. Jesus is the centre. Though each church has its own personality and issues, the Head of the Church is seeking to have each one in line with Him. We will be examining our own lives and drawing application from these precious letters. God's Word never fails to amaze, inspire, correct and instruct. See you Sunday!!

Guest Teacher this Weekend

We are blessed to have Scott Garner with us again from Rocky Mountain Calvary Chapel this Sunday. He has been with us earlier this year, in May, and we are thankful for his return. Scott and his wife Leanne have been part of the ministry at RMCC for many years and are prayerfully approaching a church plant in the future.

Revelation 1, part 2

Last week we read of how John heard the magnificent voice of Jesus behind him. This week we will finish chapter 1 with the vision of the glorified Jesus Himself. This revelation of Jesus drives the next section of the book, in chapters 2 and 3. When we see Jesus for who He truly is, it shapes us and our response to Him individually and as a church.

Revelation 1, part 1

We have heard and read of the blessing that is given to those who journey through the book of Jesus' revelation, and what a blessed beginning we have here! Such a rich declaration of praise just in the greeting! Though the greetings in all the New Testament epistles are replete with doctrinal truth, Revelation is somehow set apart. Worship is the theme, and not without good reason after good reason. Jesus is the worthy, soon and coming King!

Journey through the Bible: Revelation

Since completing Paul's letters, we are fast forwarding straight to the end. We will be covering the 22 chapters of Revelation over the coming months, and as the saying goes, there's no time like the present. Things are escalating all around us, both politically and spiritually. Big changes in world and local culture are undeniable.

The book of Revelation is about "The End"; about Jesus, who declared Himself as both the Beginning and the End. This important, but often misunderstood book is precious, as it was given about Jesus and by Jesus Himself. No other book in the Bible has that distinction. What an exciting time to draw nearer to Him in His Word!

2 Timothy 4

This week we are finishing 2 Timothy, and with it, the epistles of Paul in the New Testament. A person's final words are often the things they most want to be remembered, and are concerning what is most important to them. This is certainly the case with Paul to Timothy. How we need to hear his words concerning God's Word, and living faithfully to the end. May our hearts be lifted and encouraged to press forward.

2 Timothy 3, part 2

There is a great attack against God, and it is centered around two things: who He is and what He has said. This has been going on since the very beginning, when the serpent came to Eve and it has continued down through the ages to our own day.

Yet the Bible has consistently held up against the critics, doubters and others who have attempted to water it down, suppress, censor or otherwise diminish its value. The Word of God is alive, and we need His Word. It has all we need to know to live this life and serve God the way He wants. If you need a reconfirming of the reliability and utility of the scripture, this Sunday we will be covering this most important subject as we move through 2 Timothy chapter 3.
