In a culture of the Roman times the people of The Way had to contend with being different from everyone else. In today's culture, we as Christians are dealing with similar counter-cultural differences and it makes it difficult to spread the Gospel. Listen as Nate details how these parallels are significant to each of us.

Mark 16:15

Point 1: The Message

Luke 19:10; Colossians 2:13-14

Point 2: The Method

Luke 15:7; Luke 15:10

Quote: “I’ve always said that I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. I don’t respect that at all. If you believe that there’s a heaven and a hell, and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life, and you think that it’s not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward—and atheists who think people shouldn’t proselytize and who say just leave me alone and keep your religion to yourself—how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that? “I mean, if I believed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that a truck was coming at you, and you didn’t believe that truck was bearing down on you, there is a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that.” - Penn Jillette

The purpose of this study is to uncover the mysteries of the book of Revelation. Over the next 12 weeks we will be walking verse by verse and chapter by chapter through this fascinating book.
