We’ve spent 2025 learning what it means to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Week after week, we’ve opened our Bibles and asked what it looks like to put Christ first in our homes, our choices, our relationships, and our priorities. And now, as we come to the final Sunday of our 2025 curriculum, we’re going to look at the moment when the kingdom reaches its full and final beauty.
This week’s sermon is called “All Things Made New.” Our text will be Revelation 21:1-5 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. These passages lift our eyes beyond the struggle of the present and show us the future God has promised for His people. John sees a new heaven and a new earth. He sees God dwelling with His people. He sees the day when every tear is wiped away, and death is defeated forever. Paul tells us that when the Lord returns, the dead will rise and we will be with Him always.
This is not fantasy. This is not a pleasant thought to make us feel better. This is the future God has guaranteed. And it is the reason kingdom living matters today.
Every step of obedience…
every moment of sacrifice…
every prayer you’ve prayed…
every act of love done quietly for the Lord…
every battle fought against sin…
— none of it is wasted. The kingdom we seek now will be the kingdom we inherit forever. God will finish what He started. He will renew what is broken. And He will bring His people home.
If you are tired, discouraged, or simply longing for hope, this is a message you need to hear. And if you’re new to Cornerstone or have been away for a while, this Sunday is the perfect time to come. We will gather together in worship, lift up our eyes together, and remind our hearts that the King we serve is the King who will make all things new.

- How does seeing the end of the story change the way you seek the kingdom today?
- What tears, wounds, or burdens are you most longing for God to heal? How does that hope give you strength to stay faithful right now?
- What does this promise reveal about God’s character? Where have you seen Him begin that renewing work in your own life this year?
- What about that description encourages you most? What about it challenges you to live more intentionally?
- Looking back, where have you grown in kingdom priorities? And looking forward, what is one step you want to take to keep seeking the kingdom in 2026?
