Subscribe via iTunes or GoogleSeason 1, Episode 6 (Spring Season, 2018)In this episode, Kurt Willems explores the imperial cult, the gods of the Roman Empire, and how they influence the 7 cities in Revelation. The followers of Jesus have to navigate how to give the slaughtered Lamb their full allegiance, when the forces around them seek to take captive their imaginations. Worship anchors them either in the ideology of Rome or in the way of Jesus.Here’s a free resource: Revelation Cheat Sheet, pdf!GIVE THE SHOW SOME LOVE1) If you would be so kind to hop on iTunes (or your feed of choice) and leave Rapture Drill a review there, that would be amazing.
