After the sermon this week, you can send a question about Revelation to Pastor Dave. We’ll compile the questions and in two weeks, Dave will use the sermon time to answer the top questions. Here’s how you can send a question in:

Coming soon: Ask a question about Revelation

(Author: Dave Stone)

I met with Dave Bechtel yesterday and we scheduled an “Ask Anything: Revelation” service. Here’s how it will work:

1. On February 14, Dave will preach a review of Revelation so far. We hope that the review will stimulate questions. At the end of the service, we’ll announce how you can submit a question. There will be several ways:

  • on the back of your Welcome Card
  • send a text message (we’ll advertise the number to text at the end of the service)
  • comment on this blog (we’ll open up the comments section)

2. Over the next 10 days we will collate the questions and on Sunday, February 28, Dave will answer the top questions.

So, put your thinking cap on and get your questions ready!
