UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION
OCTOBER 1 | 6:00 P.M. | SANCTUARY Of all the books of the Bible, perhaps the most captivating and at times the most confusing is the book of Revelation. How are we to understand this strange and mysterious book filled with numbers and images and beasts and a Lamb? Join us for a lecture with Dr. G.K. Beale, Professor of New Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary and author of “The Book of Revelation: New International Greek Testament Commentary” as well as “Revelation: A Shorter Commentary.”

CHURCH IN THE CITY: SPORTS AS MINISTRY OCTOBER 8 | 12:30-2:00 P.M. | FELLOWSHIP HALL A/B In an increasingly divided world, sports continue to connect people across cultures, religions, and socioeconomic levels. Because of this, sports provide us with unique opportunities to build relationships and share the Gospel. Join us for lunch after church on October 8 as we discuss the Gospel opportunities sports create in our city. Registration is appreciated but not required.
