Questions that lie underneath what John wrote in Revelation. Questions asked of both believers and unbelievers.

1) Is this the way it’s always going to be?
2) What if I got it wrong about Jesus?
3) How is this all going to end?

Revelation 1: 4-10
Gerrit Dawson

We are called to be a part of God's masterful restoration work. To be the Repairer of the Breach and the Restorer of Streets to live in.

Isaiah 58: 6-12
Gerrit Dawson

Let us make the leap of faith, from despair to hope. Jesus is risen. This changes everything. Then, now and always.

"Then, Always and Now"

Luke 24: 36-49

For when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God (Gal. 4: 4-7).

The wondrous news: if you trust in Christ, you have been adopted in him. You are now a restored son or daughter of God. This is who you are. Redeemed out of lostness and wrath into the peace of your true home. Christ Jesus is your savior and he is your brother. And the Spirit lives in you. He breathes through you, lifting you towards your Father. We share blood with the Son and breath with the Spirit. By circulation and respiration, we belong in the Triune life. You belong to the Father.
