Once upon a future

We all love stories of resistance and hope. The Book of Revelation is exactly that – not just predictions about the end times, but an epic story of staying true to your beliefs when the world demands compromise. Through vivid visions and dramatic battles, we’ll uncover what it means to live authentically in a culture pushing us to conform. Whether you find this book confusing or fascinating, join us over the next 11 weeks as we discover how this timeless story speaks to being a Christ-follower in today’s world facing modern struggles with cultural pressure and the courage to be different.
