Why is the Idea of the End of the World So Terrifying?


Listen Later

Why do apocalyptic movies and headlines fill us with dread? In this third devotional of our "Revelation" series, Senior Pastor Mike Woodruff tackles a question many of us feel but rarely ask. He contrasts the world's view of the end—filled with chaos, betrayal, and darkness—with the Bible's stunningly different picture.

While culture only sees the horror, the Book of Revelation reveals a story that ends with profound hope. The end of the world as we know it is not the end of the story. God promises to make all things new, vanquish evil, and establish a new heaven and a new earth where love is enthroned.

Join Pastor Mike as he explains how we can move from fear to hope and become a source of blessing to others who only know the terrifying version of the "apocalypse."

In this video, we explore:

  • Why our culture's view of the end is dominated by fear and chaos.
  • The radical hope found in Revelation 21 and 22 that most people never hear.
  • How to live today in the promise that Jesus reigns and will make all things new.
  • A practical way to bless others who are afraid—using the acronym B.L.E.S.S.

This devotional reminds us that our job is to live as if God's promises are true, offering a non-anxious presence in an anxious world.
