CREATIVE PRESENTATION

 

For the last four weeks it has been my privilege to present the background research for “The Seven Revivals of the Apocalypse” at Fourth Baptist Church. Pastor Morrell and the rest of the pastoral team invited me to take the five Wednesday nights in January to make that presentation. So there is one week left in the series.

I began with Power Point and a discussion of John the Apostle on Patmos. In the following weeks I have covered Ephesus and Smyrna, Pergamum and Thyatira, and Sardis and Philadelphia. This coming Wednesday night I will discuss Laodicea and conclude with a presentation on how each of the seven churches experienced some type of revival upon reception of the letters. The series treats each church as literally existing in the first-century, and not as representative of a church age.

To view the presentations, go to fourthbaptist.org/live-stream-archive, and click the link to Wednesday night services.

If you are interested in having the presentation at your church, please contact me at robertallen@biblestoryfamily.com.  The five presentations with Power Point run approximately forty minutes each. They can also be condensed into one or two forty-minute presentations if so desired.

These presentations are not a discussion of the novel, “The Seven Revivals of the Apocalypse.” Instead, they show the research of first-century culture and background which enabled the novel to become historical fiction in the Biblical setting. I much prefer that description to the term Biblical fiction.
