1. "Listen, if you didn't grab a bulletin as you came in this morning, make sure you grab one of those. There's a ton of things going on this month as we get into the end of the month. It's already almost the end of June, which is crazy. But make sure you stop at the connections table. There's plenty of things to sign up for. We have women's events, men's events, youth events coming up. So make sure you check that out before you leave. Are you guys ready to worship? Amen."

2. "And so as we go to the Lord, whatever it is that is on your heart, whatever it is that you're walking through, cling to that passage that there will be a day where God will wipe all of our tears away. Amen. Amen. Amen. And all the bad stuff we experience will come to pass because all the old things will pass away." (18 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
3. "Lord, thank you for your Son. Thank you for giving us a path back to yourself through his blood. Thank you for providing salvation to us so that now not only can we have victory today as we've been talking about, but we get to look forward to the future that there will be a day where there will be no tears, there will be no death, there will be no sickness, there will be no pain, there will be no sorrow, there will be no consequences of sin."

4. "Listen, in our culture today, we read these stories, we watch these Disney movies, or these romances, and we have this, they lived happily ever after mentality. We think the story ends that way because there's nothing, there's nothing left interesting to say. There's no more drama. There's no more tension. There's no more threat. There's no more excitement. It's almost as if the two people get married in that story, that the pinnacle, that's the pinnacle of their life, right? Like that's the best day is when they are joined together and they live happily ever after." (36 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
5. "The wonder of the new heaven and the new earth, the wonder isn't that you're going to be linked up with someone you might have lost who's gone on before you. And listen, there will be a reunion of the people of God. I'm not saying that there won't, there certainly will, but the Bible, it actually doesn't speak much about that at all. Actually, it speaks more about the sheer God-centered, spectacular unimaginable glory that will be ours forever in an unceasing eternity as we contemplate God in all of His perfections."

### Quotes for Members
1. "It's almost as if everything that's happened since the fall of man, since Genesis chapter 3, it's all happened to bring us back to this moment where all things will be made new. Oftentimes, people ask, what's it going to be like in eternity, Pastor Steven? Well, read Genesis chapter 2. A lot of times, our minds, we go to this post-garden narrative, but all of history, it's been heading to a pre-garden narrative. That was the picture that God gave us. That's where everything's going. That's what we hope for. That's what we long for." (34 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
2. "The reality is, as you read the other parts of Scripture, you can't have godly peace and prosperity until all things old have passed away and all things are made new. Sinful flesh has to die. Sinful things have to be tossed in the lake of fire. And, guys, the other reality is that in Christ's glorified state, he can't physically come and reign in this world until all of that happens because he is holy. He can't be in the presence of sin. That's why I interpret Revelation 20 the way I do. He reigns from heaven, and until the establishment of this city that we're reading about today, I believe we reign with him after our first death."

3. "The significance of the 12,000, the 144 apocalyptic literature, I believe, as you go through other parts of the Bible, it's filled with symbolism and it's calling to mind the 12 apostles, the 12 tribes of Israel. It's a way of saying that all of the Old Covenant people, all of the New Covenant people together, they constitute this unified people, like the book of Ephesians talks about, one new humanity in Christ. Again, we're going to look different in every single way. A city built like a cube, which I believe is just another piece of symbolism here in the Old Testament."

Actually, it speaks more about the sheer God-centered, spectacular unimaginable glory that will be ours forever in an unceasing eternity as we contemplate God in all of His perfections. And guys, this new world, this city, will work it, will have perfect dominion over it, and our sole aim will bring glory to God which it says He shares with us as His people, will be captivated by it, will live in His grace constantly reminded of where we were and where we are now because of His great love and grace that He's shown us."

5. "Listen to those words, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him because of that gospel message, it says you have been sealed, you were sealed by God Himself, which is a guarantee, it's proof that you will inherit this new city and everything that comes along with it, all the newness. Through faith, through grace, because of the blood of Christ, you have been purchased and you have been made new in the Spirit and yes, one day you'll receive a new body with a new mind, but guys, you have a new heart right now that's been sealed by the Holy Spirit, God Himself. And He did that so that you can be constantly reminded over and over and over again that this new city, it is yours, because of Christ Jesus. It's yours. To His glory and to His praise. It's all yours. Living in the hope of this new city, it's living in the assurance of your salvation today." (60 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
