We are wrapping up our two year series, The Story of All Stories" with an episode on Revelation chapters 12-22. You won't want to miss this one as we discuss some of the stranger things in these chapters.
Revelation can be a very challenging letter to understand. On the surface it sounds more like a story from Lord of the Rings than one that fits in the Bible. However, the truth is that Revelation is a letter that uses imagery, symbolism, numerology, and metaphors that take place all over the Old Testament. And the Jews reading this letter would have understood the meaning quite well. We, on the other hand, struggle with what things mean like the number 666, or the mark of the beast. In our modern culture we misinterpreted or intentionally not done the work to understand Revelation from the perspective of those who wrote and read it 2000 years ago. And we assume it is a letter filled with a secret code to help us know the time and circumstances of the end times. This is not what Revelation is about. Check out this week's podcast to learn a little more about the weird things happening in this letter.

If you are just starting to listen or be a part of our church you may be wondering what this series is that we keep talking about. Over a year and a half ago we started a series called "The Story of All Stories" with the goal of telling the story of God through scripture. We believe that the better we understand the story of God in scripture the better we understand the story of God in our own story. This week's episode is to try to recap where we have come so far in the series. It won't dig into a lot of the books and content we have gone through. But it does attempt to summarize what we have learned so far.
Did Paul ever experience frustration, pain, or heartbreak? Yes of course. When we miss this in his letters we miss the power of things like what he says in 2 Timothy. What does he say to Timothy? You will have to check it out to find out!

The letter to the Philippians is incredibly relevant to our world today. How so? What was Paul wanting the churches to know? Where is Philippi anyway? All these questions, and more, will be answered in this week's episode of the Missio Podcast.
