Revelation

In this Ends of the Earth Sunday message, Dr. Greg Mathias of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, shows us that our worship fuels our mission.

The book of Revelation really helps to frame the Christian life on the consummation of God's kingdom. Since thankfulness is synonymous with the Christian life, the Revelation of John helps frame our grounding for thankfulness.

Christ is the the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End who holds the keys of death, and he is alive right now. This truth means that we, as Christians, can fully embrace his admonish to "fear not."

As the people of God, believers can look back at God's faithfulness and ahead in expectation of his future mercy and grace. These future promises have significance for our every day lives. We live now in the new identity and kingdom to come.

Appearances are deceiving. We know this and yet, it is so easy to be taken in by them. Listen to Pastor David Prince as he exhorts us to build our lives on a sure foundation—Jesus Christ.
