In this comprehensive overview of the Book of Revelation, Daniel Rogers explores the text's purpose, context, and the significance of its imagery. He emphasizes the importance of understanding Revelation as a message of hope and encouragement for early Christians facing persecution. The discussion covers the authorship, the messages to the seven churches, and the role of symbolism in conveying deeper meanings. Rogers also addresses the themes of judgment, the fall of Jerusalem, and the ultimate victory of the way of the cross, culminating in the promise of a new creation and the invitation to partake in eternal life.

In this conversation, Daniel Rogers and Tom Wadsworth explore the concept of worship from a biblical perspective, focusing on the New Testament's teachings and the cultural context of early Christian assemblies. They discuss the distinction between normative and prescriptive approaches to worship, the significance of the term 'proskuneo' (to bow down), and the shift from physical locations to worshiping in spirit and truth. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of community participation and mutual edification in worship gatherings, advocating for a more interactive and participatory approach in modern assemblies.

In today's episode, Daniel Rogers interviews Tom Wadsworth concerning his doctoral level research on the early Christian assemblies. Contrary to what most Christians assume, the New Testament never actually talks about a worship service. For those of us raised within the Churches of Christ, this means there is no biblical pattern for a mandatory worship service with five ritualistic acts. Instead, the early church gathered to encourage one another and to build each other up. In the show notes below, you'll find access to Tom's website and YouTube channel along with a self-guided study on "worship" in the New Testament that will take you through five important Greek words.
