Message: “Apocalyptic Literature” from Gavin Brown

A message from the series "Book of Revelation: A Vision of Victory." (Revelation 1:1-20) Many of us were taught to read the Book of Revelation as a frightening, detailed timetable of future events. But what if it isn't a complex puzzle to solve, but a pastoral letter written to strengthen exhausted Christians? Today, Gavin kicks off our new series, exploring the book of Revelation. In it we will see how apocalyptic literature uses vivid symbols not to satisfy our curiosity about the future, but to build our endurance in the present, and just maybe be encouraged ourselves.

The Victorious Rider

(Revelation 19:11-21) As we come to the end of our series through Revelation, John gives us a dramatic picture of Jesus as the victorious rider, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. For Christians living under the crushing power of empire, this was a vision of hope. But before we can understand Jesus’ victory, we need to understand the kind of King who is riding the horse. Join us as we explore Revelation 19 and discover how Jesus challenges our assumptions about power, kingdoms and what it really means to win.

From Series: "Book of Revelation: A Vision of Victory"

This series introduces the church to the apocalyptic imagination of Revelation. Beginning with an orientation to the nature of apocalyptic literature, the messages then walk through the letters to the churches, the throne and the Lamb, spiritual conflict and the beast, the victorious Saviour, and the New Jerusalem. The emphasis is on hope, worship, and perseverance - not fear. The goal is to see Revelation as a pastoral letter for TODAY inviting us to faithful endurance and a renewed vision of Christ’s ultimate victory.
