“Church as God Intended’- IN GOD’S PROVISION Revelation 21 2/8/09 am

1 Cor.15:16-21

1. GOD WILL PROVIDE A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH Revelation 21:1

2. GOD WILL PROVIDE HIS PEOPLE WITH A PERMANENT HOME Revelation 21:2

All too often we have the “exclusive mentality” when I think Jesus has done everything he can do to include as many as possible.

Revelation 19:7 John 14:2-4

I love Thomas’s response “Lord we don’t know where you are going so how can we know the way”.

3. GOD WILL PROVIDE HIS OWN PRESENSE FOREVER Revelation 21:3-8

The word translated “home” or "dwelling" in v. 3 literally means "tent," pointing back to the Old Testament tabernacle and temple, and it is related to the word for God's glory in the Old Testament—shekinah.

John 1:14 (NIV) – Psalms 56:8
