This sermon challenges common misconceptions about the end times, explaining that when Christ returns, fire will purify the earth rather than destroy it. Believers will meet the Lord in the air to bring Him back to a renewed world where righteousness dwells. God created the world for Christ and placed humanity as stewards to care for it. Despite sin's damage, God's redemption extends to all creation. Christians are called to faithful stewardship now, building lasting treasures and caring for the environment, because this world is our eternal inheritance in Christ.
