Christ in Revelation


Tuesday night, May 22nd, began a summer series in the book of Revelation on the Glories of Christ, taught by Pastor Jeff. Suffice it to say, based on the first message of this series...you need to be here!

Pastor Jeff gave us three premises as to why we need such revelations of Christ:

1. Because God gives this revelation as a gift - from the Father, to the Son, to the Angel (messenger), to John and to the church (Cf. Revelation 1:1)
2. Because seeing such a revelation will educate and inform our worship.
3. Because we need to know that God hasn't kept us in the dark - such revelation informs how we approach & interpret the Scriptures.

Some questions to consider as you determine whether this subject would benefit you:
  • Who/what do you worship when you pray? Sing?
  • How does NT revelation of Jesus Christ help you interpret the rest of your Bible?
  • Why does God reveal Himself through His Son?

These are just some of things we'll be addressing this summer in our teaching series, "The Glories of the Exalted Christ". You might consider reading through the book of Revelation this summer - several times, as we study selected passages. Also, for supplemental reading, you might try John Owen's book, The Glory of Christ. It's available here for free download in it's unabridged, un-modernized version.

Hope to see you at 2.22 - 6:30pm on Tuesday nights.

Flattery will get you nowhere.
