Hey Guys,
Do you ever pause to consider what really matters? In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to lose sight of eternity. We get caught up in our routines, responsibilities, and ambitions, forgetting that this world is not our home. But the Bible reminds us that the clock is ticking, and eternity is just around the corner.
In Revelation 22:6-21, the final words of Scripture, God gives us a clear message: Jesus is coming back soon. His return is certain, and with it come eternal rewards for the faithful and judgment for those who reject Him. These verses are both a warning and an invitation, calling us to live in light of eternity.
This Sunday at New Hope Baptist Church, we’re diving into these powerful truths in a sermon titled “Living in Light of Eternity.” Whether you’ve been a Christian for decades or you’re just beginning to explore faith, this message will challenge and encourage you.
What We’ll Explore
1️⃣ The Certainty of Christ’s Return
Jesus says, “Yes, I am coming quickly” (Revelation 22:20). His return is not a vague possibility—it’s a guaranteed reality. We’ll look at what this means for our daily lives and how we can live with readiness and hope.
2️⃣ The Call to Faithfulness
As we await His return, we’re called to live faithfully, walking in obedience and holding fast to His Word. How do we stay faithful in a world full of distractions? Come and find out!
3️⃣ The Consequences of Our Choices
Revelation 22 makes it clear that our decisions have eternal significance. Are you choosing life or death? Blessing or judgment? We’ll unpack the sobering truths about heaven, hell, and the importance of choosing Christ.
4️⃣ The Call to Respond to God’s Invitation
The Bible ends with an invitation: “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’” God’s grace is freely offered, but we must accept it. This is a call to action—both for those who need to place their faith in Jesus and for believers who are called to share this invitation with others.
Why This Message Matters
Every day, we’re making choices that echo into eternity. The way we live, the way we love, and the way we respond to God’s Word reveal where our hearts are truly anchored.
As Jonathan Edwards once said, “Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.” This sermon is an opportunity to recalibrate your focus, align your priorities with God’s eternal purposes, and prepare for the day when you’ll stand before Him.
If you’re a believer, this message will inspire you to live boldly and faithfully for Christ. If you’re still searching, it will challenge you to consider where you stand with God and invite you to respond to His amazing grace.
Come and See
? Are you ready to live with purpose, passion, and an eternal perspective?
? Are you ready to hear God’s call and respond?
Join us this Sunday at [Church Name] for a powerful time of worship and the Word. Come expectant, come thirsty, and come ready to encounter the living God.
? Sunday, Dec. 29th @ 11:00am
?New Hope Baptist Church 132 New Hope Rd. Dyer, Tn 38330
Don’t come alone—bring a friend or family member who needs to hear this life-changing message. Let’s live in light of eternity together.
? “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.” – Revelation 22:20
Serving Him,
Bro. Joey
