Outline

One: God promises the world we all want

God promises the world we all want. We know this promise is real because there was a point in history when we glimpsed the world we all want.

Two: Jesus shows us God's new world


Jesus had the power to make God's new world. But Jesus said it was necessary for him to die so we could enjoy it.

Three: We have spoiled God's good world


We have spoiled the good world that God made, but God promises someone who will put it right.

Four: God promises a new world


God promises a people who know God and a land of plenty and security.

Five: We cannot create the God's new world


God set his people free and gave them a land of plenty and security, but they could not create God's new world. God promises that he himself will put it right.

Six: We can enjoy God's new world because of Jesus

The death of Jesus deals with the problem of rebellion and judgment. The resurrection of Jesus is the promise and beginning of God's new world.

Seven: Christians are God's people waiting for God's new world


Christians are God's new people waiting for God's new world. We become God's people through faith and repentance.
