The Beginning & the End: The Church as Witness

In a world longing for hope and truth, we, the Church, are called to be witnesses of God's love and grace. Join us this Sunday as we dive into a service that looks into how we, as the Church, are called to be His witnesses. Revelation 13:10c reminds us that this task "calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people".⁠

This Week's Scripture:
// Revelation 11:1–4, 9–13, 15 (NIV) //
I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”
[...]
For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
[...]
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:

“The kingdom of the world has become
     the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
     and he will reign for ever and ever.”
