Sermon Title: Good or Bad Shepherd?
Jesus challenged his hearers to redefine what it meant to be a good shepherd—and to not only care for lost sheep, but to love people in need. Jesus likewise calls us to radically reorient our lives around what matters most, casting aside everything else to make room for the love of God embodied in and among us.

The Revelation 17 Symposium

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 16:19:35 +0000

Revelation 17 is one of the most challenging passages to interpret in the Apocalypse.

Who is the woman on the scarlet beast?
What entity does the beast represent?
Who are the seven kings and the ten horns?
When do the events represented in the passage take place?

The Revelation 17 Symposium, October 16-18, at the Village Seventh-day Adventist Church in Berrien Springs, Michigan, brings together scholars, pastors, evangelists, and other interested individuals to study and converse on these and other questions. With more than 30 presentations, this symposium offers a rich, deep dive into these topics. Attendance at the symposium is free and open to the public. The program runs from 8 am to 5:30 pm on Thursday and Friday, and from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm on Sabbath, with regular church services included.
