We begin a new series this week, Revelation: Things Are Not As They Seem

Richard Bauckham is right in calling Revelation “a work of immense learning, astonishingly meticulous literary artistry, remarkable creative imagination, radical political critique, and profound theology.”  The book’s vivid imagery and bizarre symbolism engage the imagination and present Jesus Christ in fresh perspective.

Readings from this service:
Revelation 1: 1-20
Psalm 34: 1-10
John 14: 18-20
