Does this closing verse of the letter to Ephesus (Rev. 2:7) teach that people have access to the tree of life because they overcome, or do they overcome because they have already eaten its fruit? We show that the fruit in question symbolises the eternal life that believers have in Christ and that those who have received that gift from Christ must necessarily overcome whatever problems and difficulties life might bring. We also recognise here a warning to those who do not trust in Christ for salvation and who are only nominal Christians, that they will not overcome. The episode thus clarifies that "overcomers" are true believers who possess eternal life in Christ while offering assurance that the promises to the overcomers apply to all who truly trust Jesus.

This episode links John 14’s promise “Let not your heart be troubled” with the parable of the prodigal son and the fall in Genesis, showing how Christ is the way back to truth, to life and to the Father. It traces the consequences of Eden’s loss, the cherubim blocking the way home, the tabernacle’s mercy seat, and how Jesus restores truth, and gives eternal life through his death and resurrection. Here is pastoral reassurance in troubled times!

A clear, pastoral exposition of Revelation 2:8–11 focusing on the church at Smyrna: the coming persecution, imprisonment, and possible martyrdom they face, and the command to be faithful until death. The episode contrasts the "bad news" of trials and Satan's attacks with the "good news" that Christ is sovereign, present with us in suffering, and uses trials to test and refine our faith, The end result is the crown of eternal life for every believer, and the glory of our God and Saviour.

The letter to Smyrna (Revelation 2:8–11) is the shortest of the seven letters to the churches of Asia Minor but is so packed with spiritual truth and practical lessons that it will take three episodes to complete its study, of which this is the first. We have great need today of these same lessons, which include the sovereignty of Christ, the blessings that flow to believers from His resurrection, and the grace of God that meets our every need. We consider in particular how the grace of God turns weakness into strength and poverty into spiritual wealth.

The Christian doctrine of the Trinity is for some a mystery, for others incomprehensible, and for yet others a logical impossibility. But if we could fully understand the nature of God, He would not be the glorious transcendent Being presented to us in the Bible. In this episode we examine a difficult but definitive passage,1 Corinthians 15:24-28, clarifying the distinct roles of the three Persons of the Godhead. The Father wills, the Son implements the will of the Father, and the Spirit empowers the Son to do so, culminating in the triune God being "all in all." We also see how the parable of the wheat and the tares explains why a sovereign God patiently allows His enemies to remain until the full number of the elect has been gathered in.
