'The Serpentine Prophecy' at Seventh-day Adventist Church
WEIRTON -- The Weirton Seventh-day Adventist Church will be hosting "The Serpentine Prophecy" over the Halloween weekend.
"In this four-part series we will be discussing the fascinating ties between the occult and world powers and how they've influenced modern thinking about what happens after death," noted a release from the church located at 600 Colliers Way, Weirton.
"We will examine the first lie recorded in the Bible. The serpent (Satan) told Eve that if she ate the fruit, 'You will not surely die' (Genesis 3:4). Have you ever wondered why Satan would consider the mystery of death to be his greatest chance to get humanity to doubt God's Word? Might he be still trying to use this same lie to deceive people today?" the news release notes.
Beginning Oct. 27 at 7 p.m., Pastor Shawn Boonstra will take participants "on a journey through history to follow Satan's path of deception regarding the mystery of death."
Each night will feature a 30-minute video presentation that will be followed by a 30-minute Bible study. In addition to Oct. 27, the meetings are at 7 p.m. Oct. 28 and on Oct. 29 parts three and four at 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
