Good Shepherd Barrhaven Sermon Stream

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 21:9-22:5Preached on the 6th Sunday of Easter, May 26 by Rev.
