Sermon History 

Revelation 21:1-27

Introduction

Many of us like the excitement of watching a sporting event unfold. Knowing the outcome beforehand is a spoiler. While we hate spoilers in the context of movies, books, or sports, there are other instances where we want to know the outcome, and we look for it. We don’t care for the unfolding drama. Having a spoiler would give us peace.

This scripture today is a “spoiler.” It is meant to give us extraordinary peace. The apostle John writes to people suffering persecution from the outside as well as fighting their own sin on the inside. Satan seems to be using everything that he can to defeat and discourage the church. He did it then, and continues today.

Over the last few weeks, we have been looking at God’s good design for the church. We can also recognize that the world, the flesh and the Devil make it difficult to persevere in faith. How can we know it’s worth it to hobble along when the church is misunderstood? “Spoiler Alert” - in those final days, God will make all things new!
