4. Where the Devil Dwells (Revelation 2:12-17)

Episode Summary
Despite standing firm as followers of Jesus in the face of horrendous persecution, the church at Pergamum had drifted from their true north in God’s Word. Their experience shows how easily our society, our culture, and our own hearts’ desires can begin to shift our trust in God and his Word.

3. Facing Prison (Revelation 2:8-11)

Episode Summary
Persecution is a reality for followers of Jesus in a world hostile to him and his gospel. But in the modern West, real persecution often seems very distant to us. Of course, we ought to pray for, support and encourage our persecuted brothers and sisters in other parts of the world in whatever way we can, but what if things had to change in our land tomorrow? Are we ready to face ridicule, violence and even death for the name of Jesus?

2. First Love Lost (Revelation 2:1-7)

Episode Summary
While sound Biblical teaching is essential for a healthy church, a church cannot stand on teaching alone. Sound teaching must generate love for God, and love for neighbour, both inside and outside the church, or that church is in danger of being removed as a witness to Jesus in the world.

1. Seeing Jesus (Revelation 1:1-20)

Episode Summary
John’s vision of the risen, ascended and glorified Jesus is absolutely awe-inspiring, and it’s the essential introduction for the whole book of Revelation. But how does this ‘revelation of Jesus Christ’ (v1) compare to the ways we often think of Jesus?
