Do Not Be Afraid
Sep 17 2023 • Dan Kent, Greg Boyd
Revelation opens with a startling vision that causes John to fall to the ground in fear. But Jesus touches him and says, “Do not be afraid.” As we begin to explore the “apocalypse” (unveiling) that is the book of Revelation, this message is for us, too: do not be afraid! We have nothing to fear, because what is unveiled is God’s character, his self-sacrificial love and his victory over darkness.

This sermon addresses the meaning of “the end is near.” Many explanations that the church has offered have caused great confusion because the book of Revelation has been used as a predictor of the very end of time. However, such explanations misunderstand the genre that Revelation is. When we read this book as apocalyptic literature, we can interpret the symbols rightly and see how it can serve to encourage the church to be faithful to Christ in the midst of spiritual warfare.

In this first sermon of our new series on the book of Revelation, we are introduced to how this book has been taught in ways that do not represent its meaning. We learn about its true meaning, and we discover why this message is so crucial to our present time. In a time when hope is waning, Revelation points us to the hope found in Jesus so that we might see the way that God brings victory when all seems lost.
