What comes to mind when we hear “apocalypse”? In this week’s message, we rediscover the biblical meaning of *apokalypsis*—not devastation, but revelation: an unveiling of Jesus and God’s kingdom breaking into our present. Bryan walks us through Revelation 1 and shows how the book functions as letter, prophecy, and apocalyptic vision—written to real churches under pressure, and still speaking to us today. We’re invited to read Revelation as a lens that exalts the living Christ, strengthens hope in the midst of “Babylon,” and gathers the Bible’s storylines into one: the slain Lamb who reigns. Along the way, we visit Luke 2, Galatians 1, Daniel 7, Zechariah 12, and Ephesians 6 to see how Scripture interprets Scripture. Listen in, be encouraged, and practice reading Revelation with worshipful confidence and non-anxious faith.
