A Sermon Series on the Book of Revelation of John
So, are you having a hard time appreciating the truth in the Book of Revelation of John because of the strange and scary images and the events described in the book? And that it reads more like an end-time science fiction than a scripture? Well, you are not alone. The Book has baffled and confused many people throughout the history of church since the beginning – a challenging, controversial and often misunderstood and mysterious book of the entire Bible.
Our purpose for the sermon series, Cracking the Code, in the next 7 sessions, is to simply to get familiar with the book, to embrace the main message of the book, “hope”, and how God would ultimately restore God’s Kingdom through the Son, Jesus Christ at the end. The message is relevant to us now, as it was in the past and in the future, and that we are to be faithful here and now in joining Jesus in making everything new and great in God, as we await the final coming of the Risen Christ.
And along the way, we will also try to clear away any misconceived end time seers, soothsayers, and the fear mongering messages that we so often hear from the popular culture and churches.
