Our Eternal Home

In this sermon, Chris Romig reflects on our longing for a true, eternal home, especially on Mother's Day when thoughts of home and family are prominent. Drawing from the final chapters of Revelation, Chris describes the Bible's vision of heaven as the ultimate fulfillment of this longing—a radiant, secure city filled with God's presence and glory. He cautions against popular and cultural misconceptions about heaven, urging believers to ground their hopes in Scripture alone. The details of the new Jerusalem—its immense, cube-like dimensions, jeweled walls, and pearly gates—are explored, with special attention to their symbolic connection to God's promise, security, and the redemption of sinners through grace. The city's design echoes the Holy of Holies, highlighting that believers will live forever in the presence of God. Pastor Chris emphasizes that heaven will be a place of community, healing, and eternal wholeness, where we will know one another and be our best selves. Most importantly, he points to the greatest joy of heaven: seeing God face to face, an experience once denied to mortals but promised to all who are in Christ. Concluding, Chris encourages the congregation to find comfort, gratitude, and hope in God's promises, looking forward to an eternal homecoming where "Jesus wins spectacularly" and believers will share in His glory forever.
