NEW VIDEO TEACHING SERIES FOR ADVENT

The Book of Revelation raises questions that many of us would rather not think about: Does Hell exist? Will we be separated from our loved ones when we die?  What does the end of the world look like?

But, what if this scripture is not about the end of times, but rather a guide to how we create Heaven on Earth, right now?

To that end, Trinity Church Wall Street is delighted to offer an important new video seminar on Revelation, led by the Very Rev. Dr. Michael Battle, professor at General Theological Seminary and based on his book “Heaven on Earth: God’s Call to Community in the Book of Revelation.”

Over five videos, Dr. Battle will guide participants through the final book of the Bible and illuminate how it reveals God’s dream for humanity and its relevance to our world today. The series is perfect for Advent, and can be used once each week, beginning with Christ the King Sunday, as we anticipate the annual celebration of the Nativity.

The program is intended to be helpful in faith-formation educational settings large and small, and for individual use.

This curriculum is offered to all free of charge and may be viewed online or downloaded www.trinitywallstreet.org/endoftheworld. Also available at this location in the future will be a podcast series, and a version that is not Advent-specific and thus suitable for any season of the Church year.
