In this final sermon of "The News is Good" series, we explore the concept of restoration in God's redemptive plan. Scripture's story comes full circle from creation to restoration, with Revelation 21 showing God's promise of a new heaven and earth where death, pain, and tears will be no more. Drawing parallels between Genesis and Revelation, we look at how true faith perseveres by trusting Christ for past, present, and future salvation. The message highlights how the "not yet" of restoration gives meaning to our present suffering and how believers should find strength for today's challenges by looking back at what God has done, trusting Him in the present, and looking forward with hope to His promised restoration. Remember: He has saved us, He is saving us, and He will save us completely.
