Join us as we begin a journey through the final book of the New Testament 

canon—the book of Revelation. Together, we will discover what Revelation 

is and is not about. Revelation is not primarily about terrifying end-of-time 

catastrophes. It is a book about the eternal triumph of resurrection life. It is

not meant to incite scary theories concerning the future. Rather, it is meant 

to inspire a certain hope for now and for all of time—a hope that is only 

possible because of Jesus Christ!
