You’ve picked a good day to join us as we begin our new series in Revelation!   Revelation is an often times misunderstood book. It can be daunting, to say the least, but as we go verse by verse through all twenty-two chapters, I think you’ll come away with a new found knowledge and appreciation for this amazing book of our Bible.  Pastor Matt VanderVen says it’s really a revealing of Jesus, and you can expect to be blessed as you study and apply it!

We’ll be finishing up Third John, and introduce you to a couple of guys that couldn’t be more different.  The first of which is Diotrophes.  He wanted to be preeminent, draw people to himself, and it was all about him!  Could the same be said of you?  We’ll have a look in the mirror today and take what pastor Matt refers to as the Dio test.

About His Perfect Love

His Perfect Love is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Harrisburg, with Pastor Matt VanderVen. This radio ministry is an extension of the calling found in Ephesians 4:12-15, "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—"
