On Sunday we started a new teaching series looking at the first five chapters of Revelation. Some I know, are a bit disappointed that we're not going further - as most of what is technically referred to as, 'the weird stuff', only starts at chapter six.
But a good overview of the whole book is important for understanding the first few chapters. One of the challenges of understanding Revelation is that there is a lot of symbolism and imagery that we are not familiar with - and unless we know how it applied to the Christians John was writing to in AD 90, we won't be able to properly apply his words to 2017.
If you're looking for a clear but short overview then look no further than the guys over at www.jointhebibleproject.com Head over there in a few minutes and have a look at some of the great resources they have on offer. Below are their two intro videos to the book of Revelation.
As well as Sunday mornings there will also be home group notes - and your home groups may throw up some interesting questions.
