Dave McHugh–In a world marked by idolatry and instability, Jesus calls His people to remain faithful. Through His letter to the church in Philadelphia, He reminds us that He alone holds ultimate authority, opens doors no one can shut, strengthens the weak, and establishes His faithful people as pillars that stand firm amid shaking. Our invitation is to hold fast, endure, and step through the open doors of Kingdom mission before us.

Shane Willard–This week we had the privilege of having Shane Willard share with us on the letter to the Church of Sardis. This letter challenges us to wake up and not to be complacent in our walk and call with God. In our prosperous day age, even with its current challenges, we are positioned in God to live with an awareness to the high call of representing Him to the world.

Christy McHugh– The call in the letter to Thyatira is for a discerning church, one who evaluates and decides what is in the ways of Jesus and what is not. However, we must not forget the warning to the church of Ephesus, who were commended for their right beliefs but had lost their first love. We must not seek right beliefs at the expense of love.

Matt Romano–This week we examine the Church in Pergamum as a mirror and map for the modern Church. Pergamum reveals the subtle dangers of compromise and syncretism, faith made convenient, comfortable, and culturally palatable. Using their story, we explore how we can resist the drift of cultural conformity, pursue undivided devotion, and experience the hope promised to overcomers: hidden manna, the white stone, and a new name.

Nartarsha Wisewould–The message to the church of Smyrna is one of comfort and assurance. It is Jesus speaking to his beloved as she is pressed down and walking through the fire and telling her to hang in there because He is walking through the fire with her. He assured them that he knew their afflictions and their poverty, but also their spiritual richness.

Peter McHugh–This week Pete starts our look at the seven letters addressed to the churches. The letter to Ephesus is a call to return to love and relinquish the need to be right, both in order to protect our lampstand in the unseen world of the spirit.

Sarah Hudson–This week Sarah starts off our new series.
More than a prophecy about the future, Revelation is a powerful reframe of the present. At the centre of this unveiling are the letters to the seven churches.

Revelation lifts the veil on what’s really real. It reminds us that Jesus isn’t distant—He is present, powerful, and walking among His people. These letters challenge us to ask: Who is shaping our reality—the culture around us, or the Christ among us?
