This Sunday we continue the summer series on Revelation with "Why Evil?", based on Revelation 13.
In This Bulletin:
Tenth Sunday After Pentecost
Scripture: Revelation 13
Sermon: Revelation, Part 4: Why Evil?
This Sunday we continue our summer sermon series on the book of Revelation. We've explored questions such as "Why church?", "Why worship?", and "Why suffering?", and this week we look at the question, "Why Evil?" I hope you can attend worship in person (at Katonah UMC) or on Zoom at 10:30.
