"Spoiler alert, Jesus wins" - 16 November 2025

Dear friends of BCUC,  The wisdom of ِEcclesiates says “There is a time for a war and a time for peace” On Tuesday 11th November people paused for a minutes silence to remember the time when the guns of World War 1 stopped firing over Europe after 4 years of conflict caused 40 million casualties. Revelation chapters 17-20 is about the final battle. It's a description of the final battles between the Messiah and Satan which eventually ends with Satan being defeated for all time. This is a great source of hope for us. If we are faithful to Christ we can achieve life with the eternal God. It does not mean that we cannot be tempted by evil, so we should be vigilant. It does mean that Satan cannot overpower us if we remain true to Christ who wins the battle over evil for all time.  We should not be put off by the imagery in Revelation since much of it comes from the Old Testament and would be familiar to the Jews, but what we must take from it is our great source of hope though Christ that we can gain eternal life. We look forward to you joining us this Sunday and afterwards for the AGM. Your brothers in ChristIan Olver and Benji Callen
