SERMONS
The Gospel of Mark
Mark presents Jesus as the suffering servant of the Lord. His focus is on the deeds of Jesus more than his teaching, particularly emphasising service and sacrifice. Mark omits the lengthy discourses found in the other Gospels, often relating only brief excerpts to give the gist of Jesus’ teaching. Mark also omits any account of Jesus’ ancestry and birth, beginning where Jesus’ public ministry began, with his baptism by John in the wilderness.
Mark demonstrated the humanity of Christ more clearly than any of the other evangelists, emphasising Christ’s human emotions, his human limitations and other small details that highlight the human side of the Son of God.

Revelation
The book of Revelation is often ignored because it seems cryptic and confusing, and the apocalyptic language is daunting to some. But God says: “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near” (Rev. 1:3). “The Revelation of Jesus Christ” penned by the Apostle John, offers a glorious vision of Christ’s victory and God’s sovereign plan to redeem and judge the world.
We see that the book of Revelation points continually to the person and work of Jesus Christ and a careful study of it, along with other Bible prophecy about the End Times, will give us clarity and confidence about what is to come. It will strengthen our faith and increase our love for the Lord Jesus, and should fill us with expectation for the "blessed hope" that is Jesus' return for His bride.
