Hearing Jesus - W1

What do you do with a book that scares people more than it comforts them? Opening a new series with Revelation 1:1-8, this message argues Revelation was never meant to be decoded like a puzzle or matched to the headlines. It is Jesus revealing himself to his church, and like all of Scripture, it is an invitation to participate rather than just study. Working through four ways to participate, letting it reveal what's really going on, letting it bless and change you, letting it transform your story, and taking up your calling as priests, the message calls listeners to stop reading the Bible for knowledge, tips, and inspiration, and start living inside it as priests who display Christ to the world.
