"Revelation as Resistance: The City with Open Gates - God's Future Without" - Revelation 21:1–7, 22–27

In its final chapters, Revelation gives us a vision of a world healed, restored, and bursting with light. The New Jerusalem is not as an escape plan but a divine promise for this world—where there are no temples of exclusion, no gates shut to the outsider, and no more night for the weary. God’s justice includes rivers of healing, trees for all peoples, and a city where glory comes in all colors. This is the future we’re called to build—right here, right now.The sermon was delivered by Rev. Victor Floyd on Sunday, July 27, 2025.The scripture reading was from Revelation 21:1–7, 22–27.
