End times. Apocalypse. The second coming of Christ - these have been some of Google's most popular search terms for the last few years. But, what do any of these words actually mean, and what importance do they have for our faith? Let’s look together at what "apocalypse" is in the Bible, what it's come to mean today, and what it might teach us about ourselves in this historical moment. We'll look at two key books from scripture along the way – Daniel and Revelation – along with a variety of cultural sources that invite us to imagine the “end.”
In the eighth (and final!) session of this series, we will gather at Sue Westmoreland’s house at 6pm to read the short story “History Report,” from Glory Days by Simon Rich. Copies of the text will be provided! Then we will discuss:
If you were describing what life on Earth was really all about to someone who’d never lived here, what would you be sure to mention?
What do you think would be hardest to explain?
How do you hope life will look like in one or two generations from now?
You can email tony.coleman@firstcongo.com for Sue’s address. See you there!
