Since the very beginning, we have been a community that has known the call to be a lighthouse in the city. In our words and in our actions, we have sought to be faithful to the command of Christ to shine a light. Having a place in the heart of the city to proclaim the truth of Jesus practically share the love of Christ through care and hospitality (e.g. care ministries and international ministries) has been central to our existence. And our deepest desire is that this will only continue to grow as we seek to meet the growing practical and spiritual needs of Brisbane.

God has called us as his people to invest our very lives into the heart of the city. In a context where others are transient and transactional, we have been called to live our lives, raise up the next generations, buy homes and find work in and around the city. Our presence matters deeply, because we bring the presence of God. In our workplaces. In our schools and universities. In the restaurants and shopping malls. On the streets. Our presence causes the city to prosper. Our commitment to be a permanent presence in the city matters deeply. As we make the commitment to live and share our lives in the city, we are proclaiming the life-giving good news of Jesus.

Writing to a church struggling under powerful forces, the last thing that you would imagine worthy of worship is a lamb! But that is exactly what is presented in John’s vision. Again, utilizing this rich metaphor that is replete throughout Scripture, Johnpresents a lamb slain that makes a way for the scroll to be opened. What is this scroll? The book of life that records all names of those who are God’s people. It is the death of the Lamb that makes a way for ‘persons from every tribe and language and people and nation’. This picture sets up a scene of absolute adoration, worship and praise. The death of Jesus has made a way. He is deserving of our worship.

Revelation is a stark and powerful picture of the battle that rages for our hearts and minds. But the wonderful news is that the Dragon and his beasts will not win. His fate is sealed. Praise the Lord, the battle has been fought and won – but that is a story for next week!

We find in the early chapters that John’s Apocalypse is a letter that is written to seven churches in Asia Minor, but also a letter to be read aloud for all (and all are blessed in reading 1:3). Indeed, these are words of encouragement and challenge from Jesus himself. The call is for the Church, the Bride (19:7-8), to remain pure in the context of temptation and persecution, and to ultimately be victorious (5:5-6). The church in the Roman empire was under intense pressure. The emperors (e.g. Domitian, Nero) demanded absolute and singular worship. To not declare ‘Caesar as Lord’ carried with it terrible physical, social and economic consequences. This was a question of ultimate allegiance: worship the Christian God or worship the Roman cult.

Revelation has possibly become the most discussed and speculated on, if not the most controversial, of all books in the Bible. This is not that surprising, considering the incrediblyabstract literary images that are contained in this wonderful piece of writing. A four-week teaching series is not going to come close to answer all the questions that could be addressed, but what we can do is focus on the key characters and themes that we can find in this powerful book. Firstly, it is helpful to understand that Revelation is a mix of literary styles. It is a prophetic text following in the tradition of Old Testament prophets, it is an apocalyptic work full of symbolic imagery,and it is a situational letter written to a group of people living within the historical and societal context of the Roman Empire.

In this message, Derek Peters tackles one of the most important and often overlooked parts of your spiritual journey - your thinking.

We all experience storms in life that create anxiety and uncertainty in our lives, because we realise we are not in control. These storms have the capacity to leave us with a lack of peace. We need a greater power, a power over us to bring order in the chaos. Psalm 29, speaks about the God who is in the storm, and the God who is in control of the storm.
