Reunion Church NYC

Russel ends the Lent series by going over the last of the letters in Revelation, addressed to the church in Thyatira.

In today's sermon, we kick off the series for Lent, diving into the book of Revelation.

Russel continues the message of renewal by exploring how the Bible, God's word, is what prepares us for joining God in God's renewing work. In today's sermon, we explore four questions: What is the purpose of the Bible? What is the Bible? Why does the Bible exist? How do we read the Bible?
