NATIVITY OF THE
We exist as a community to offer praise, worship and thanksgiving to the biblical God, the Father, who reveals himself through his Son Jesus Christ and who sends his life creating Holy Spirit. We follow the teachings of the apostles and the early church fathers. We encourage you to learn more about our faith and our parish.
NEW LESSON
The Revelation of St. John
Revelation is one of the most unique and intriguing books in the New Testament. Unlike the gospels or epistles, it is apocalyptic literature, meaning "that which is revealed." As Orthodox Christians, we do not read this book during Sunday liturgy, but it is important that we understand it.
Fr. Bill begins this study with an in-depth exploration of the first four chapters, which are foundational for understanding the rest of the text. He encourages you to engage deeply by listening to these videos, reading your Bible, studying the footnotes, and exploring cross-references. Why is this important? Revelation speaks of God's ultimate triumph over destruction, evil, and sin—realities as prevalent today as they were in the first century.
This book was written to provide hope to Christians in times of darkness. Many of us face our own struggles, whether personal or external, and Revelation reminds us… God will make all things new. In this study, Fr. Bill explains key themes such as symbolism, numerology, and the promise of the new Jerusalem. Take your time reading the book of Revelation, and use these video studies as a companion on your journey. We pray that it brings you hope in times of trouble, reminding you that God has a good and perfect plan.
Glory be to God.
