"Revelation as Resistance" - Revelation 1:1–20

from Calvary Presbyterian Church San Francisco · host Calvary Presbyterian Church San Francisco

This week we began a sermon series on the Book of Revelation. It is often used by Christians to predict future events, but it wasn't written for that purpose. The Book of Revelation was written to call people to resist the Roman Empire. It carries on the tradition of 'apocalypse' which is Greek for 'revelation'. In apocalyptic literature, God reveals, or makes clear, how to respond to the world in which we find ourselves. But it is written in a way that obscures the message from the people who it critiques.The sermon was delivered by Rev. Marci A. Glass on Sunday, June 15, 2025.The scripture reading was from Revelation 1:1–20.
