The World We Long For | Todd Katter Message

Main message: God is bringing heaven to earth—making this world new by his presence in Jesus—and that hope should change how we live now. The book of Revelation ends with an invitation: take Jesus' hand and live from the reality of eternity through forgiveness, generosity, and perseverance.

Key points:

• Revelation shows a city coming down and God dwelling with people—God restores and renews creation rather than whisking souls away to a disembodied heaven.
• The greatest promise of eternity is God's presence with us (not merely a place); believers will be fully known, fully loved, and wiped of every tear.
• Eternity should shape present practice: knowing our destination changes how we travel now.
• Practical ways to "practice eternity": choose forgiveness over resentment, generosity over stinginess, and perseverance over giving up.
• The message concludes with a personal invitation to accept Jesus' hand—an encouragement for new or renewed commitment to follow him.
