Topic: Renewed - fixing a broken world

Our world is marked by brokenness—in our lives, our relationships and all creation. Yet Revelation 21 gives us a sure and glorious hope: God declares, “Behold, I am making all things new.” At this year’s 9:30am Congregation Weekend Away, we’ll explore God’s promise to renew his world through the victory of Jesus. We’ll see how the gospel brings forgiveness and restoration now, and points us towards the day when sin, suffering and death will be gone forever and God will dwell with his people. As we open God’s word together, we’ll be encouraged to live with hope, holiness and confidence in the One who alone can truly fix our broken world.
