Dear Church,

Our 31-week journey through the text of the Bible will be coming to a close this Sunday. It was just about a year ago that the senior staff looked at a calendar and saw that our study of The Story would fit in perfectly between the week after Easter and Christ the King Sunday. It represents the entire span between Lent and Advent, two of our holiest times of year. It seems incredible to me that we are now arriving at that last chapter.

Fittingly, we will be studying the Book of Revelation this Sunday which liturgically is Christ the King Sunday. This is the day that the church annually celebrates that God has crowned Jesus King and Lord over all. It is the glorious culmination of the liturgical year - it is the last Sunday of the Christian calendar. We begin anew in Advent the very next Sunday.

On each of our campuses this week, we will honor King Jesus as we learn about his upcoming return. One of our members emailed me this week and suggested that perhaps the second coming was scheduled for this coming Sunday. I really hope he is right. I feel certain that if he comes this Sunday I will be in good shape to face him! You should probably come to church this week … just in case. And you should probably sit on one of the front rows too (just so He doesn’t miss you all the way in the back!!!!!).

This Sunday we will remember our journey through The Story, you will be given a chance to share some of your experience with the study and a chance to share The Story with someone you care about! Let’s finish The Story strong on each of our campuses.

Love you, Church! See you soon!

Ryan
