Revelation 1:1-3

Because many Christians view the Book of Revelation as a book of mystery that is filled with hidden clues that need deciphering, they are reluctant to study it because approaching this book this way leaves them without hope of being able to benefit from their study of it.  Pastor Doug Short points out that the Book of Revelation is exactly that- a revelation.   As he delivers his first message of a series of messages in the Book of Revelation, we learn that this letter is intended to make God's truths clear to a church that has found itself in the midst of a hostile world and is in need of encouragement.

For further reflection on today's message, Pastor Short has provided a few questions for you to consider that are intended to enrich your own study of the Scripture passages he covers in today's sermon.  We invite you to visit our website where you will find these questions:  crbcangier.com
