The Victory of Christ: Exploring the Book of Revelation

The Victory of Christ: Exploring the Book of Revelation takes you on an eye-opening journey through this influential yet puzzling book. You will learn about its origins on the Greek island of Patmos, the conventions of apocalyptic writing in the early Church, and how its original audience might have understood the text. Questions considered: How should we interpret its sometimes violent imagery? What is the symbolic meaning of its many numbers? Why are there so many hymns, and what purpose do they serve? Above all, you will come to understand the book’s self-designation as “a revelation of Jesus Christ.” In witnessing Christ’s victory over the forces of evil and chaos, you will emerge from this course with an invigorated sense of hope and understanding of the Word of God.

STARTS JANUARY 8TH AT 6:45 PM and JANUARY 9TH AT 9:15 AM

Matthew: The King and His Kingdom

          The Story of How Christ Established His Kingdom 

Join Mary Beth Crumly, Director of Family and Youth Ministry, on Wednesdays at
10:00 AM beginning September 11th

The Matthew: The King and His Kingdom study program shows how Jesus fulfills God’s promises to Israel and establishes his kingdom on earth. Through references to the Old Testament promises of God to his people and the messages God sent them through the prophets, the Matthew Bible study program provides the key to understanding the rest of the New Testament and Christ as the fulfillment of God’s plan.

Matthew portrays Jesus as the true King who fulfills the Law the people of Israel have failed to keep and who introduces the new law that will accompany the New Covenant. In this 24-part study of the Gospel of Matthew, presenter Jeff Cavins explains how Jesus is challenging and empowering us to a new level of holiness and shows how we must be thoroughly immersed in the kingdom of heaven on earth, the Church, to live it
