What doors is God opening in your life? In week seven of our series VII Letters to the Church, Lisa Lee shares Jesus’ message to the church in Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7–13). Though small and weak, this was the church that made Jesus smile. They held onto His Word, stayed faithful to His Name, and in return He promised them an open door that no one can shut. Jesus still opens doors today — doors of opportunity, calling, and mission. They can’t be forced open, and they don’t depend on our strength, but when He opens them, we are invited to step forward in faith. Join us for worship, prayer, and this inspiring message as we ask:

Are we living off reputation — or truly alive in Christ? In week six of our series VII Letters to the Church, Anthony Delaney unpacks Jesus’ words to Sardis (Revelation 3:1–6). Outwardly, Sardis looked strong and vibrant. In reality, Jesus says, “You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” This sobering message reminds us that what matters is not our reputation but our reality before Jesus. A church (or a life) can coast on past glory while the Spirit’s fire grows cold. But Jesus offers a way back: Wake up. Strengthen what remains. Remember the gospel. Repent. Join us for worship, prayer, and this timely call as we ask:

How do we tell the difference between what just sounds Christian and what is actually true? In week five of our series VII Letters to the Church, Matt Donaldson unpacks Jesus’ words to the church in Thyatira (Revelation 2:18–29). Outwardly thriving and fruitful, they were failing in one vital area — discernment. By tolerating false teaching, they were accepting what Jesus rejected. Jesus calls His church not to compromise but to cultivate discernment: to know His voice so clearly that anything counterfeit is exposed. He searches hearts and minds, warns against deception, but also promises authority and the morning star to those who remain faithful. Join us for worship, prayer, and this timely message as we ask:

What does it mean to live with integrity in a world full of pressure to compromise? In week four of our series VII Letters to the Church, Anthony Delaney explores Jesus’ message to Pergamum (Revelation 2:12–17) — a city filled with idols, false teaching, and cultural pressure. Some believers held fast, but others were being pulled back into sin. Jesus calls us not to compromise but to live with integrity: whole, undivided, the same in private as in public. And He promises hidden manna, a white stone, and a new name to those who overcome. Join us for worship, prayer, and this challenging message as we ask:

Recorded live at Ivy Central on 28 September 2025, Rev Dr Ian Paul reveals how and why we should read the book of Revelation.

What does it mean to follow Jesus when life gets hard? In week three of our series VII Letters to the Church, Anthony Delaney opens Jesus’ words to the church in Smyrna (Revelation 2:8–11). They were persecuted, poor, and under pressure — yet Jesus calls them rich in faith and promises them the crown of life. Like Smyrna, the suffering church today shows us that true faith shines brightest when it is tested. Through pain and pressure, the fragrance of Christ is released. Join us for worship, prayer, and this challenging message as we ask: - How do we stay faithful when fear rises? - What can we learn from the persecuted church? - How do we live boldly for Jesus in our world today? Scripture: Revelation 2:8–11 Preacher: Anthony Delaney
