Revelation: Jesus Makes all Things New and True
Andrew Allison · Listen
Sermon Questions Revelation 22:1-5
- John’s vision captures “God’s making all things new”. What phrase in this passage (the crystal clear river, the Tree of Life, seeing Him face to face..) speaks loudest to you today? Explain.
- Ezekiel 47 tells of a river that gets deeper and deeper as it moves away from its source. Explain the symbolism in that.
- Right now you are asked to take things ‘on faith’. What does it mean to you that one day you will see Jesus face to face?
- When God created the first time he began with “Let there be light”. Rev. 22:5 is a reload of this. It looks like a new beginning, not an ending. How does a new beginning, fresh start, give you hope?
- Easter means moving from fear to boldness, moving from hate to love and moving from storing to sharing. Which of these will you intentionally do today? Explain what you’re going to do.

Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-19 - Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
Colossians 2:1-7-The way forward for the first Christians wasn't always easy. False teachers brought confusion and deception, prompting Paul to point believers back to the truth. Just as the best way to spot a counterfeit is to know the genuine article, the best way to recognize false teaching is to know Jesus.
