The End Changes the Middle

In the opening sermon of Between Two Trees, Justin introduces Revelation 21–22 not as a coded roadmap for escaping the world, but as a vision of where God is taking it.

From the Tree of Life in Genesis to the Tree of Life in the New Jerusalem, Scripture tells a story of God making all things new: death defeated, tears wiped away, nations healed, gates thrown open, and God dwelling with humanity. If that is where the story is headed, Revelation asks a much more important question than When will the end come?:

How should that future change the way we live right now?

Justin explores how Christians can begin pulling that promised future into the present through healing, reconciliation, generosity, Sabbath, care for creation, hospitality, and a way of life that refuses the fear, greed, and power of “Babylon.”
