Revelation 1:10-16

This sermon delves into Revelation chapter 1, focusing on verses 10-16. The sermon emphasizes John’s vision of Christ among the seven golden lampstands, symbolizing the churches. The key message is the essential role of the church as the light of the world, illuminating a world ensnared by darkness. Pastor Bruce Gordon underlines the distinction between scripture written "for" us versus "to" us, highlighting the importance of understanding Revelation's context. He stresses that while the church will face tribulations, it must remain a beacon of light, shining brightly in unity and companionship.
