This coming Sunday we are going to complete our E100 journey through the Bible by taking a quick look at the whole of the book of Revelation. Although to many modern day readers large parts of this book are difficult to understand and confusing to apply it is a great mistake to get bogged down in the images that John creates.
When we get bogged down and try to unravel the mysteries of the beast, the dragon, the tribulation, the rapture, the millennium, the European community and barcodes we surely miss the whole point. Surely one key focus of this book is worship - worship that is rightly focused on God.
All the songs that we will sing on Sunday will be firmly based in the key themes of the book of Revelation, so that even if you have not read Revelation before, and even before we come to explore the book together (briefly) we will have already started to respond to the God that we encounter there.
One song that we will be singing will be new to most of us. It is called 'You alone are worthy' by Al Gordon, Luke Hellebronth and Hanif Williams. You might want to listen to it a few times ahead of Sunday.
We may also sing Chris Tomlin's 'I will rise'. If you need to remind yourself how that one goes click here to go to a previous post.
