"A New Heaven and A New Earth"

I'm kind of excited. I get to preach this morning. And I get to preach on Revelation 21:1-7. Not my fault. It's the lectionary's fault. Someone else decided it would be a good text to preach on the fifth Sunday of Easter so I decided I would go with it. What a beautiful text! You should read it...when you have time. Our community needs to hear it today. We have had a one heck of a week. But, Sunday's a comin'! It is such a hopeful passage and is so powerful when you think of the context of preaching in an inner city church that often feels forgotten. To realize that Heaven comes down to us in the form of a city is an awesome thing. Have a great Sunday!
