The Joy of Being Together

Deb preached on the New Heaven and New Earth described in first verses of Revelation 21. She connected this vision of re-creation with the image of God taking a Sabbath rest at the end of the first creation:

In verse 6, the Lord again identifies himself as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the one who holds the flow of time in his hands. As he rested after the creation in Genesis, he is now proclaiming his work to be finished with the completed re-creation. It is time for him to enjoy fellowship with his people in a place that is free from pain, free from want, free from death, free from sin.
