The Book of Revelation can be a challenging book to understand. Sometimes we think we need to interpret it to see how it is playing out in history in our own time. On the opposite end of the spectrum, sometimes we strip away the elements of prophecy and are left with a book which says something about Christians from history but misses the very revelation of God that the early church found within this book. Join along in weekly study of Revelation and come to understand the book of Revelation and what God is saying through it in a whole new way. Each week we’ll offer three video-based studies to help you read the book for yourself and reach your own conclusions on interpretation.

Atheists often pose this question to try to refute the idea of an all-powerful God: "Can God create a stone so heavy that he couldn't lift it?" Red Pen Logic does an amazing job answering this question from a logical perspective. He forgets one key point: God has ALREADY created many stones he couldn't lift. In this video I take a look at the Bible to see how this trick question reveals the true story of how God did this. Watch Red Pen Logic's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWZxBXfbTaM

The song Reckless love is a huge hit and has helped many people experience a powerful connection with God in worship. There's a lot to praise with the song, but one problem: it seems to be echoing the message of the Pharisees that's God's love was reckless by misunderstanding a parable Jesus told. This video responds to the song and breaks down Luke 15:1-5 to see what Jesus really said about the recklessness of his love. Let me know in the comments if this song has spoken to you and what you think of this parable after taking a closer look at it. Is my analysis right or am I missing something?

Many people believe that the Bible is a story of two different Gods: An Old Testament God of judgement and anger, and a New Testament God of grace and love.
