Welcome to Day 50 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today marks the final step in our journey from Easter to Pentecost, and Tim is joined once again by Debi Matthews as they close with the final chapter of the Bible: Revelation 22.

After fifty days tracing the story of Scripture, we now arrive at the glorious end — and the new beginning. Eden is restored. The invitation is open. “The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.” (Revelation 22:17)

This isn’t just a vision of heaven; it’s an invitation to the ultimate celebration — the wedding feast of the Lamb. Everyone is welcome. Everyone is invited. And Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, is at the centre of it all.

Debi reminds us that the best parties aren’t about wealth or glamour — they’re about being with the people we love. And this final scene promises the greatest celebration of all, with the One who is love, inviting us to dwell with Him forever.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. May you keep walking in His love, filled with the Spirit, and holding tight to the hope that we’re headed somewhere beautiful — together.

Happy Pentecost!

Welcome to Day 49 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Prue Bedwell for our penultimate episode, as they reflect on the awe-inspiring, hope-filled vision of Revelation.

Revelation paints a sweeping picture of God’s ultimate victory — not just over evil, but over sorrow, suffering, and even death itself. As Prue and Tim explore chapters like 12 and 21, they remind us of the central message: “The Lord reigns. The Lamb who was slain is now on the throne.”

Amid apocalyptic imagery, what shines through is deep comfort — the accuser is defeated, and the promise is clear: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” The old order is passing away. God is making everything new.

Revelation doesn’t promise an easy road, but it assures us of a glorious ending. We are called to endure, to remain faithful, and to keep worshipping — because our hope is secure.

Join us one last time tomorrow for Day 50 — Pentecost Sunday — as we finish this journey with joy.

Welcome to Day 48 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Abosede Oriolowo as they open up Revelation 3:14–22 — the letter to the church in Laodicea.

Jesus doesn’t mince his words in this powerful rebuke: “You are neither hot nor cold… You are lukewarm — and I’m about to spit you out.” It’s a stark wake-up call for anyone coasting in faith. Abosede reflects on how easy it is to slip into lukewarm Christianity — passionate when life is good, hesitant when things feel hard.

This passage becomes a spiritual health check. Are we wholehearted in our worship? Are we relying on our own comfort and success — or are we seeking intimacy with Jesus every day?

And yet, the letter ends with an invitation. Jesus says, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.” If we open the door to him, we are promised not just fellowship, but a place beside him: “To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne.”

Take a moment today to ask honestly: am I living lukewarm? Invite Jesus in again. He’s knocking.

Let’s keep going — see you tomorrow for our penultimate day — Day 49.

Welcome to Day 47 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Lewis Parker as they unpack one of the Bible’s shortest but punchiest books: Jude.

Though just 25 verses long, Jude delivers a powerful message. It opens with reassurance — “relax, everything’s going to be alright… love is on the way” — but quickly calls believers to hold fast to truth and guard against anything that distorts the grace of God.

In a culture full of competing voices, Jude’s words resonate strongly. Tim and Lewis reflect on how vital it is to “keep yourselves in God’s love” and “build yourselves up in your most holy faith.” It’s a call to root ourselves deeply in truth, to pray in the Holy Spirit, and to trust in the God who sustains us.

And then, the doxology — a glorious closing that lifts our gaze once more:

To him who is able to keep you from stumbling… to the only God our Saviour, be glory, majesty, power, and authority… now and forevermore. Amen.

Keep standing tall in his presence. We’re nearly at the finish line — see you tomorrow for Day 48.

Welcome to Day 46 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Ella Jenkinson from the Spear Programme, as they dive into the first letter of John — particularly chapters 1 to 3 — and reflect on what it means to truly walk in the light.

John writes with striking clarity: “This is the message you heard from the beginning: we should love one another.” But more than that, he says, “Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.” The challenge? None of us walk like Jesus on our own. But Ella and Tim explore how confession, humility, and grace are the keys to living in his light.

In a culture that often champions self-love, there’s power in acknowledging our brokenness — not to shame ourselves, but to receive freedom. Confession, done safely and honestly, can be the very thing that lifts shame and opens the door to restoration.

Today’s encouragement: we don’t need to pretend. We can come as we are. Because when we confess, “God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

Let go of the weight. Step into the light. See you tomorrow for Day 47.

Welcome to Day 45 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined once again by Festus Adedoyin as they explore the powerful themes found in the letter of 1 Peter.

Peter writes to scattered believers, reminding them that through Jesus’ resurrection, we’ve been given “new birth into a living hope” — and more than that, “an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade.” Festus reflects on the beauty of this gift: an inheritance we didn’t earn and could never deserve, freely given by a loving Father — if only we’d stop resisting and simply receive it.

But with this grace comes a call: “Be holy, because I am holy.” Holiness isn’t about perfection or striving — it’s about allowing the Holy Spirit to shape us into who we were created to be. As Festus puts it, God wouldn’t ask us to be holy if it weren’t possible through his Spirit.

Today’s episode is a timely reminder that the Christian life is both a gift to receive and a journey of transformation — not restrictive, but freeing.

Receive the inheritance. Walk in holiness. We’re nearly there.

See you tomorrow for Day 46.

Welcome to Day 44 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined once again by Lizzie Redman as they dive into the rich and revelatory letter to the Hebrews.

Hebrews is often called the lens through which we understand the Old Testament in light of Jesus. As Tim shares, Jesus himself said that all of Scripture points to him — and Hebrews unpacks that truth with theological depth and beauty. Whether it’s the Sabbath, priestly rituals, or temple imagery, Hebrews connects it all to Christ.

For Lizzie, one phrase stands out above the rest — a life mantra from chapter 12: “Fix your eyes on Jesus.” In the hustle of everyday life, it's easy to become distracted by responsibilities, pressures, and busyness. But as Lizzie reminds us, the heart is where life flows from, and guarding it means returning to Jesus daily in prayer, Scripture, and honest reflection.

Together, they explore what it means to run our race with perseverance, shedding distractions and discouragement as we fix our eyes on the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.

Start today by lifting your gaze once again. Jesus has gone before you — walk in his footsteps.

See you tomorrow for Day 45.

Welcome to Day 43 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Mark and Celina Timms as they reflect on the deep wisdom and practical guidance found in Paul’s letters to Timothy — a young pastor mentored by the apostle himself.

Focusing on 2 Timothy 1, they explore Paul’s powerful charge: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Tim shares how this has become a personal life verse, especially on days when strength feels in short supply.

Mark relates this to his own journey of recovery through the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous — where surrendering to a higher power and developing daily disciplines are vital. For Mark, that higher power is Jesus. Through regular prayer, Scripture, and surrender, he and Celina have found strength, stability, and a renewed life.

Their honest and hopeful conversation highlights that true spiritual growth often comes through consistency — not feeling, but choosing daily obedience. It’s not about being perfect, but about submitting afresh each day to God’s Spirit and forming habits that shape our lives around His love.

Let their story inspire you to recommit to your own rhythms of prayer and Scripture, and to trust the Spirit’s power at work in your weakness.

We’re nearing the finish line — see you tomorrow for Day 44.
