In Week 2 of Return, Pastor Aaron Pennington walks through the larger story of Scripture, from creation and humanity’s rebellion in Genesis to Jesus’ sacrifice, the promise of His return, and the restoration of all things in Revelation. We are living in what Pastor Aaron calls “the land between two trees.” One tree represents humanity’s rebellion in the Garden, while the Tree of Life in Revelation points toward God’s completed plan of redemption. Until Jesus returns, we still have time, influence, and an opportunity to help more people experience the saving grace of Christ. This message explores what Jesus taught about His return, why Christians don’t need to live in fear, and why Scripture calls us to live awake, prepared, and with greater urgency.
