Pictures of heaven can sometimes seem boring and cliche. Yet, we get many pictures in the Bible, especially in the Book of Revelation. So why are they important, and how do they speak to us today? In this sermon, Fr. Stephen addresses the picture of the New Jerusalem which appears in the last chapters of Revelation. This picture of a perfect city is a sign of hope for the imperfect people who follow Jesus because it shows God can make very flawed people and things right.


Scripture Reference: Revelation 21:9-22:5

Preached on the 6th Sunday of Easter, May 26 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne

Sermon Highlights

  • Revelation written after the destruction of Jerusalem
  • This failed city appeared dead and broken
  • God shows a vision of it renewed and perfected
  • We see our flaws and grow discouraged
  • God can perfect us like He will perfect Jerusalem
  • God challenges us with a vision of peace
  • How can we allow God to use us as instruments of peace?
