Revealed: Revelation (14)

Revelation 21:9-22:21 Why is it worth resisting the lure of the city? The city promises success, security, and significance, and it can be hard to resist when it seems to offer us everything we want. But as we reach the final chapter of Revelation, we get to see a glimpse of the future city and the ultimate promise on offer. Listen in as we discover why the earthly city is not worth our devotion, because we have a better city to come.

Revealed: Revelation (13)

Revelation 20:6-21:8 “The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” The visions in Revelation are meant to inspire us to be conquerors, people who are willing to take courage and witness to the truth about Jesus, even when it comes at a cost. In this passage we get another glimpse into the future, seeing how this world will end and the promise of a restored creation. Listen in as we consider why it is worth being a conqueror and staying in the fight.

Revelation 19:6-20:6 Is it really worth sticking our heads above the parapet? In a workplace where it can feel easier to keep quiet, blend in, and avoid the risk, is it worth standing for Jesus? Revelation gives us a glimpse into the future, showing us how the story ends and why our choices today matter. Listen in as we see why taking the risk to follow and speak about Jesus is worth it.

Revealed: Revelation (7)

This week, we expose his tactics and strategies, showing how he is actively involved in our world, even right here in the wharf. Listen in as we uncover exactly what the devil has been up to.

Revealed: Revelation (6)

Revelation 10-11 We spend our days analysing data, building models, preparing presentations, and delivering results. But beneath all the activity lies a bigger question: what is our true task? In Revelation, God gives a surprising picture of his people—not as spectators or consumers, but as an army engaged in a spiritual battle. Yet this army fights in a way that turns our assumptions about power, influence, and success upside down. Listen in as we explore what is our task.

Revealed: Revelation (4)

Revelation 6-7 Who are we, really? We all describe ourselves in different ways—our jobs, our relationships, our interests, our achievements, or the communities we belong to. Yet our sense of identity shapes far more than we realise. It influences how we think, what we value, and ultimately how we live. Listen in as we delve into Revelation’s insights on who we are and the significance of our identity in today’s life and work.

Revelation 4-5 Who holds the future? Entire industries are built on forecasting what comes next. We analyse trends, manage risk, and make plans in the hope of securing a better tomorrow.

Revealed: Revelation (2)

Revelation 1:9-3:22 Have you ever felt the temptation to compromise and assimilate with the world?

Amid all their struggles, there was one thing they especially needed to know.
