Message: “Viewing Our Suffering Through the Lens of Eternity” from Tim Melton

A message from the series "Sunday Service." The book of Revelation is calling us to look through an eternal lens. It is written for those who have their eyes fixed on heaven and not on this world. It is written from the perspective of heaven. If we approach these verses from a worldly perspective, seeking success, pleasure, comfort and material gain, the verses will never make sense. They will be blurry and unclear and even offensive. If we are wearing the lens of the world the reality of God cannot be seen.

First Things First (Romans 11:33-12:2)

The marvel we feel at the love and grace of God is what Tom calls “gospel astonishment.” As we come to know Christ more deeply, His Spirit moves us to find new ways to express that astonishment, first of all, in our community of faith, which Tom refers to as “gospel commu-nity.” Then the second impulse of that amazing love moves us to reach out and touch a world not yet in Jesus’ embrace, which Tom describes as “gospel movement.” In other words, gospel astonishment builds gospel community, and gospel community fuels gospel movement. And all of it is empowered by the Spirit of Jesus to bring humanity under His shepherding care for the glory of His name and kingdom!
