King's Church London

Today we meet the beasts, complete with all their heads, horns, numbers and marks - but more importantly, we hear a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

This week in Revelation 12 we look at what it means that the great dragon has been defeated and cast from the heavens; that though we are in the wilderness, we are conquerors!

As we reach the halfway point in the book of Revelation, John begins to preach from the scroll he receives. Through powerful symbolism, he shows us the witness, power, persecution and triumph of the Church.

Revelation probably raises more questions than any other book of the Bible. The imagery, chronology, style, symbolism and plot can all be confusing, and can raise all kinds of questions which we cannot always cover on Sundays. In this evening seminar, hosted by Andrew Wilson, our Teaching Pastor, we will get into a number of these issues in more detail, through teaching, interactive discussion and Q&A.

Who can stand? Those who are sealed, those who are saved and those who have a shepherd. This message by our Senior Pastor, Steve Tibbert looks at Revelation chapters 6, 7 and 8:1-5. The whole of the Revelation series is available at kingschurchlondon.org/revelation.

Who is worthy to open the scroll? Who can bring God’s Kingdom plans? Only the lamb-like Lion of Judah. The Lion who roars and the Lamb who saves! This message by Joe Macnamara, leader of our Downham site, looks at Revelation chapter 5. The whole of the Revelation series which is available at kingschurchlondon.org/revelation.

Phil talks about 'the throne' as being the centre of John's vision in Revelation 4. The passage gives us a great future hope and also confidence about our present reality.

What does the victorious Christian life look like? What do overcomers or conquerors have in common? Jesus gives us seven examples in his letters to the seven churches.

What kind of book is Revelation? How are we supposed to make sense of it, and what is it fundamentally about? Andrew opens our new teaching series on the Bible’s last word. “Revelation is an unveiling, an unmasking, a disclosure of the powers at work behind the scenes. The world looks like a sequence of material causes, until the spiritual dynamics behind them are revealed.” “Jesus says to John: you have absolutely nothing to fear. I am the first and the last, and the living one. I have been through death, and I will live forever, and I have the keys of the grave in my pocket.”

Church is not meant to be a hotel, but a home, where we each play our part. For more information about serving at King's, see kingschurchlondon.org/serving.
