Message: “The Throne and The Lamb” from Gavin Brown

A message from the series "Book of Revelation: A Vision of Victory." (Revelation 4-5) Revelation was not written to satisfy our curiosity about the future, but to strengthen our faithfulness in the present. For Christians living under the power and persecution of Rome, the question was pressing: Is God really in control? Revelation 4-5 pulls back the curtain and gives them a very different picture of reality, revealing who is truly on the throne and what His rule looks like. Join us as we explore the throne room of Revelation and the surprising picture of the King who conquers not by taking life, but by giving His own.

Apocalyptic Literature

(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.
