Welcome to The Follow Up, where we recap this week's sermon so you can go deeper in your relationship with Jesus!  This week, Carrie is joined by Pastor Jack and Pastor Jeff Lederer as they discuss Revelation 21 and the first 5 verses of 22, on the fulfillment of God's promises.  So here we are: we've finally reached the conclusion of our series on Revelations.  What a journey it has been.  And there are plenty of questions left to answer!  The following are questions that will be addressed in this episode:

0:00 Opening/Welcome

1:00 First Question - The Culmination of the Bible
Explain how the passage this week is a culmination of the whole Bible.

4:40 Second Question - God's Care In The Face of Suffering
In Revelation 21:4, it says, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes." How does this promise impact your understanding of God's comfort and care in the face of suffering?

6:53 Third Question - Heaven and the New Jerusalem
How does the description of the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21 verses 9-27 inspire your vision of heaven? What aspects stand out to you the most?

11:16 First Congregation Question - Healing of Nations
Why do the nations require healing and why does evil continue to exist outside the city in the new heaven and earth described in Revelation 21 verses 24-27 and 22 verse 2 and 14?

15:44 Second Congregation Question - The Dimensions of the New Jerusalem
Considering the vastness of the universe, why is the New Jerusalem described as only 1400 miles cubed in Revelation 21? How will we all fit, can you clarify this?

18:46 Third Congregation Question - The Church's Mission and Evangelism
Revelation chapter 22, verse 10 suggests letting the unrighteous continue in their ways. How does this align with the church's mission to transform the world, and what does it mean for our approach to evangelism and living out our faith?

24:34 Fourth Congregation Question - From This World to the Next
If the promise of a new heaven and new earth in Revelation 21:1 were to happen tomorrow, what is one thing you would hope to carry over from this life to the next?

25:57 Fifth Congregation Question - Disagreeing Perspectives
How are we to be of one mind as a church when we have disagreeing perspectives about eschatology. Doesn't God give us Christians the same message? Doesn't God care about the minors as well as the majors?
