Ron Herms, author of the popular video series Reading Revelation Then and Now, will be in the Dayton area for a one-of-a-kind teaching event.

Witnesses to the Kingdom: How the Book of Revelation Reimagines Worship for All of Life!

Date: Sunday, April 28, 2024

Time: 2 to 5 PM (Doors open at 1:30)

Location: Troy First United Methodist Church (110 W Franklin St., Troy, OH 45373)

Cost: Ron is teaching as a public service—all sessions are provided for you at no cost. Because seating is limited, reservations are required. Register on this site for free tickets.

Seminar: Because "apocalyptic" was a genre of literature pioneered by the Jewish community before, during, and after Jesus's time, there are some important things you need to know about how to read it as the author intended. That is Dr. Ron's pastoral passion, to help modern minds correctly understand and profit from this unique writing style on display in the last book of the New Testament, Revelation.

In this paradigm-shifting seminar, Ron will equip you to see how John— author of the Book of Revelation—writes to inspire disciples of Jesus to see God at work in every area of their lives.

Session One: The Cosmic View of Worship: Faithfulness to YHWH among the gods

Session Two: The Civic View of Worship: Compassion & Justice in the Marketplace

Session Three: The Communal View of Worship: “On Earth as it is in Heaven”
