JR. Forasteros - September 11, 2013
Trinity!
Christians believe God is Trinity. But what does that mean? And where do we find that in the Scriptures?
From Series: "Theology for the Rest of Us"
Mention “theology” and watch everyone shrink back in their chairs. Words like Trinity, Sovereignty and Eschatology scare us away from asking good questions about God, about faith and Christianity. But that’s not how it’s supposed to be! We all talk about God. We’re all theologians, whether we realize it or not. In this class, we’ll rescue theology from the ivory tower. Theology should invite us to know God better

The Revelation was never meant to be scary or confusing. It’s a message of hope!
The Revelation to John is the Bible’s scariest, most confusing book.
It’s not meant to be that way. In fact, Jesus himself is giving this revelation to John for the Church. It’s meant to be a message of hope. The problem is that we are strangers to the text. We live 2,000 years away, across a huge culture gap.
But if we are willing to do the hard work to hear Jesus’ revelation through the ears of First Century Christians, the Revelation will come alive for us.
We can hear Jesus’ message of hope to all of us struggling to stay faithful in a faithless culture.
We can learn to hear the Revelation as a beautiful, powerful book, as relevant to day as it was then.
Additionally, I imagined how John would compose his vision if he were writing to the 21st Century American churches rather than the churches of First Century Asia. Read The Revelation to JR. here.
