The following sermon is by John MacArthur, pastor, author, and Bible teacher with Grace to You.

If you've never contacted Grace to you, we want to send you a free booklet by John called How to Prepare for Christ's Return.

The Bible says to fix your hope on the Lord's return, but until Christ comes back, how should you spend your days?

This booklet answers that important question.

And now unleashing God's truth one verse at a time.

Here is Grace to You Bible teacher John MacArthur.

Such a wonderful theme in the music this morning.

Everything about the Lord being our refuge and our security and our Savior and

our leader, all wonderful comforting realities. And we've all, as believers, experienced that,

of course. And it's along that line that I want to take you to what I believe may be the most comforting

book in the New Testament, and that is the book of Revelation.

And I say that because it tells you the future.

And for those who belong to Christ, the blessed and the forgiven, the future is all glorious.

Why am I going to spend some time in Revelation? Well, one reason is to help you understand the

future so that we can set aside some of the insanity going on in the world about climate change and global warming and all of

the things that are being said in a very destructive way.

The story of the earth is really a story of God's goodness.

He's filled the earth with good things, good things.

We are to be fruitful and multiplied, not stop having children because we think the climate is going to wipe us out.

We are to give him thanks for all of us. we think the climate is going to wipe us out.
