Spring Service – Peter Howard
New Beginnings
(9th September 2017)
Now I 9thsaw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:1-4
The thought of something new coming was always in the minds of God’s people. How long will we have to put up with this situation until things get better? God desires for us to have a new beginning and he has a new beginning planned for us. Spring is a moment of new beginnings. The day is coming when the taste of Spring will turn into a moment of exhilaration and exaltation…that moment when we step into the season of God’s newness. We look forward to the day that God will make all things new.
