It's the end of the world... and I feel fine!

Christmas is over.
Once again we have prepared and explored the first coming of the Messiah.
The First Advent was all about God living a perfect, spotless life, revealing his deep love for us, and willing sacrificing Himself for us.
But before we move too fast, let’s stop and explore the second coming of God.
We live as the people of the Israel lived before Jesus was born. We live in the gap, between his first arrival and his return. But will we be caught by surprise, just as they were when Christ returns?

We are starting a new series this exploring the book of Revelation.
A book that deals with some mysterious and disturbing stuff. But over all it focuses on the second advent. Jesus ultimate return as KING JESUS.

Where you really explore the book of revelation, there is lots of hope.
We get glimpse of eternity with God.
That’s powerful stuff.

Yet most of us are afraid when we hear words like “end times”, “tribulation” and apocalypse. So as we start this series of hope I’m curious as to what your thoughts, fears and questions are regarding Revelations and Jesus return.

In order to make this series as practical as possible I want to search for the answers in light of the most common questions that we may have. Any questions, thoughts, fears.... let’s hear them now.

But remember, this is not a series to add to your fears but to bring HOPE to all.
Re-read Revelation 1:3 over and over again.
Remember that God promises us a blessing if we read, study and share what is recorded in John’s vision from Christ Jesus.

Are you excited about the second coming of Christ? or are you afraid?
