This Sunday, November 23rd at 10:00 AM, Calvary Bible Church hosts a special Bible Teaching Fellowship Service in the front lobby of the U.S. Bank Building, 303 Crescent Avenue (near the corner of Crescent & Metropole), offering a study of the Book of Revelation, a unique look at the Church in the last years of the first century and a picture of the "End Times" yet to come.
The last book of the Bible, Revelation, was dictated to the Apostle John in 95 AD by Jesus Himself and directed specifically to the Christians of yesteryear and today. Pastor Jason leads us in the conclusion of the reading of the last three chapters of this magnificent book of prophecy, where we see a glorious picture of God's heavenly kingdom portrayed for us. Jesus Christ welcomes us into a joyful, eternal life with Him in His heavenly realm, by avoiding sin and trusting only in Him for our salvation. "Behold, I am coming soon! And My reward is with Me!" He tells us. (Rev. 22:12) Final judgment for those who have turned their backs on God, and an eternal reward awaiting those who follow Jesus Christ with all their hearts.
Paul echoes this message in his letters to the early Church, by telling us that the death of Jesus Christ saves us from sin -- we do not save ourselves. Trying to be "a good person" or doing good deeds does not lead to salvation. Peter, as well, reminds us "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) It is only by our repentance of sin and direct commitment to Jesus Christ -- not belonging to a particular religion, following a church denomination, or doing "good works" -- that changes in our life and our eternal salvation are assured. Are you ready to make this direct commitment to Him? Join us this Sunday and learn how your own resurrection from death and your eternal rest in heaven can be assured through a personal, loving relationship today with Jesus Christ, a relationship that began with an empty tomb on the most important morning in history!
Each week's study is taught by Pastor Jason Gant, bringing you the loving and living Word of God from the Bible, chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse. Everyone is welcomed, and transportation is happily provided. Attendees at this Sunday's service will have the opportunity to ask their Bible questions and take part in a brief discussion period after the teaching. Our "Coffee & Carbs Fellowship" follows immediately afterwards. Prayer Fellowship meets every Thursday at 12:00 PM in the beautiful, shaded park across from City Hall. Bring your lunch and join us for prayer and cast all of your cares on Jesus, the Great Physician of us all! For more information, please call 310-510-3003. Toll-Free 24-Hour Prayer Line 1-866-Holy-Word (465-9967). Remember... Read the Book, Learn the Truth!
