This will be an interactive study with the opportunity to ask questions, explore areas of interest and learn what God is doing in our world today and how it relates to the great prophetic passages of the Bible.
We hope you will join us as we continue to study Revelation 6, which chronicles the beginning days of the Tribulation.
