It's not every Sunday that the people of God gather for worship and, as a part of that service, participate in the baptism of an engaged couple and their young boy, a baptism followed by the young couple exchanging marriage vows.

As we concluded our Easter Revelations worship series by exploring the last words found in the book of Revelation, we found that, indeed, the text reminds the faithful the day of the Lord is coming soon.

However, rather than presenting this as a dire warning to those who have not yet accepted the grace of God through Christ our Lord to get right or die, we saw it as a word of inspiration to the people of the church universal and eternal that there is still time to do all within our power to bring to a hurting world the unbridled joy of the assurance of God's peace.
