Worship Service: Revelation

Advent Fully Realized: Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus
Revelation 19:11-16; 21:1-7; 22:1-21
The Village Chapel - 12/22/2024

What has Revelation got to do with Advent?

The apostle John wrote with the heart of a pastor, the voice of a poet, the insight of a prophet, and the depth of a theologian. In the book of Revelation, John delivers the promise that the Advent story is not yet complete. In fact, he assures us that the best is yet to come! The child born in humility, who died in ignominy, and rose again in victory, has promised to return to this world one day and set the world to rights, to make all things new.

Christ’s birth and death proved His great love for us.
Christ’s resurrection displayed His great power to save us.
And based upon these historical realities, we believe and now proclaim His great promise to return one day at His second coming.

Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through some of the events recorded at the end of the book of Revelation in a study titled: Advent Fully Realized. (31:59)

(6:50) Call to Worship: Advent Realized
Leader: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!
People: Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things and by your will they existed and were created.

Leader: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!
People: Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God

All: Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory. Hallelujah! Amen!

(19:54) Classic Prayer: Geerhardus Vos, 1862-1949
Thanks be to you God, our Savior who seeks the lost, with eyes supernaturally farsighted you discern us a long way off, and draw our interest to yourself by the sweet constraint of your grace, till we are face to face with you and our soul is saved. As once, in the incarnation, you came down from heaven to seek mankind, so you still come down silently from heaven in the case of each sinner, and pursue each individual soul following it through all the mazes of its waywardness and the devious paths of its folly, sometimes unto the very brink of destruction, till at last your grace overtakes it and says, "I must lodge at your house." For, besides the divine omniscience here manifested, we are made witnesses of your sovereign and almighty power.
