Amen. Amen. Good morning. Welcome. Wow. You guys look marvelous today. No. You can be seated. So glad you're here.

Trust that you'll be blessed that you did come here. Those of you online, we also trust that you'll be blessed that you've joined

with us. I'm going to get right to it. This is the first of two services we have on Sunday mornings

that we devote to Bible prophecy and these weekly prophecy updates. And then second service,

now this will be live streamed at 1115

a.m. Hawaii time for those of you online but for those of you here well I

guess if you're on the website it actually starts at 1045 with the worship so

second service is the sermon. What is the sermon? I'm going to tell you.

It's a verse by verse teaching through the Bible and we're currently in the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation.

And our text today is going to be chapter 21, beginning in verse 9 and through to verse 14.

And I've titled this sermon, I have a very bright future ahead for me.

Did you know that?

So do you.

This, of course, comes with the prerequisite and the presupposition that I'm a born-again Christian.

In today's second service sermon, we're going to see, listen carefully,

what I'm going to call three realities. You'll see why. Realities. To encourage and strengthen us as believers. How so? By renewing hope,

refilling joy and restoring faith, all of which Jesus said the enemy comes only

to steal, kill, and destroy.

Meaning he's stealing our hope, killing our joy,

and destroying our faith in the unfailing love, goodness, and reality of the one and only true and living God.

Okay, that's second service.

You have to wait for that.
