The Real Revelation

Living Stones Sparks

In our first sermon in our new series, Between Two Worlds, we delve into Revelation 1:1-20 exploring the profound message given to John through Jesus Christ. Pastor Mark expounds on the unique apocalyptic nature of Revelation, shedding light on its symbolism, the importance of knowing its original audience, and the deep spiritual transformation it intends rather than just informative knowledge. He emphasizes the need to shift from merely admiring to truly adoring Jesus Christ, recognizing His divine authority and presence among the churches. We are encouraged to approach the book with fresh eyes and humility, seeking to deepen their faith and understanding of God's Word. The sermon also highlights the challenges of interpreting Revelation and the importance of community study.
