THINK 2019 | Revelation | Session 1 | Overview I by King's Church London

Steve Tibbert, our Senior Pastor, considers the different views of the millennium and the return of Jesus, he shares his main reflections on the series, and he ends focusing on an invitation from 19:9 – ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’

Evil hides. So one of the tasks of Christian witness is the unmasking of evil, so that it can be judged, and ultimately removed. John shows us how in his chilling portrayal of the scarlet beast and the harlot of Babylon.

Revelation 15 & 16 describe the judgement of the whole of creation – it’s a fearful picture but woven through these chapters are reminders of God's desire to deliver people, His true and just character, and that judgement finally brings justice on all that is evil in our world. The call comes to respond by staying awake, and we do this through worship, through witness because the times are urgent, and by waiting in faith, knowing that as believers we are saved because of Jesus.

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.
