The Big Story | The End - The Story Isn't Over

The Story Isn't Over: Living the Big Story Right NowShow Notes:We made it to the end. But the story isn't finished — not for us.In this final episode of the Big Story series, Lisa brings the whole journey together and asks the question every good story demands: so now what?This week we saw Jesus revealed in his full glory. We stood before the great white throne. We watched the New Jerusalem descend from heaven and heard God promise to wipe every tear from his people's eyes. And we came home — to a river, a tree, the face of God, and a world made whole. What was lost in Genesis 3 has been restored in Revelation 22.That is the story. It is the truest story ever told. And it is our story.So now we live it.Lisa offers a set of practical anchors for carrying this week's vision — and this entire series — into everyday life. How do we live as people who know how the story ends? How do we resist anxiety when we remember what's coming? How do we bring previews of the new creation into the present through acts of generosity, reconciliation, beauty, and faithful work?And then there's this: the story is meant to be told. Not everyone knows that there is a God who created them on purpose, who has been pursuing them relentlessly, and who has made a way for them to come home. You don't need a seminary degree to share it. You just need to tell someone what God has done — in scripture and in your life.Live It Out:Live as someone who belongs to the King — trust him completely, obey him fully, seek his righteousness even when the world pulls in a different directionWhen anxiety creeps in, return to the promise: God will make all things new. Let that hope replenish what fear tries to takeLook for ways to bring glimpses of the new creation into the present — an act of generosity, a word of reconciliation, a moment of beauty, a display of creativity or faithful workWorship regularly — not out of obligation, but out of the overflow of knowing who God is and what he has doneTell the Story: Who in your world needs to hear that this story has a good ending — and that they are invited into it?Hear the message for this week's devotional on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristFellowshipMcKinneyGet the written devotional at: https://cfhome.org/EGDIf you are in the North Dallas area and would like to join us for services each week, you can find all the information at https://cfhome.org.
