New Heaven, New Earth

Alpha and Omega
Series: Year Of The Message
Jesus is the All-sufficient One, as we have seen in Galatians and Colossians and as we can see in every book of the New Testament. John introduces him in the Book of Revelation as "the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth" (Revelation 1:5).
God is Love
Series: Year Of The Message
