Scripture: Revelation 21:5
Reflection: Following the vision of the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1-4), a voice from the throne declares, “Behold, I am making all things new.” This is the central, audacious promise of our eternal hope. It is a promise of complete restoration—not a patch-up job, but a divine act of renewal that addresses all the brokenness and pain of our world. Our mission "beyond the walls" is an echo of this promise; every act of justice, mercy, and compassion is a preview of the "newness" God is bringing. As you prepare for the final sermon, reflect on this: what aspect of your life or community are you most looking forward to God making "new"?

Heavenly Father, we stand in awe of Your powerful promise: "Behold, I am making all things new." As we anticipate the Sunday message on our eternal hope, tune our hearts to the magnitude of this restoration. Help us to see the work we do "beyond the walls" as a small, faithful participation in Your grand plan of renewal. Fill us with the certainty that You are not just mending, but recreating. Give us a glimpse of the new heavens and new earth, so that the hope of eternity may invigorate our mission today. In the name of the One who makes all things new, Jesus Christ. Amen
