    Do you long for Christ’s return? John was given a glimpse of the glorious Christ. Seeing Christ through Revelation helps us to appreciate Him more and see our lives in the light of the hope we have in Him.

    [I’ve taken some of the thoughts in this sermon from Anne Graham Lotz’s The Vision of His Glory.] The second coming of Christ does not always conjure up the same emotions. • If you are to narrow down your emotions regarding the return of Christ to one word, what would that be? • Discomfort, Fear, ...read more

    Max Lucado wrote this illustration in his book When Christ Comes. Augustine once posed the following experience. Imagine God saying to you, “I will make a deal with you if you wish.
