"The Author Steps on Stage"

Jun 1, 2025  •  Rev. Charlie Holt

In this moving message, Rev. Charlie Holt unpacks the final verses of Scripture from Revelation 22, reminding us that Jesus—Alpha and Omega—will return soon. As the author of history, Christ offers both an urgent warning and a gracious invitation: to be cleansed, to come, and to drink freely from the water of life. With cultural clarity and biblical conviction, Rev. Holt challenges us to stay faithful to the whole story of God—without edits.

Scripture Reference: Revelation 22:12–14, 16–17, 20–21

Key Themes: The return of Christ, judgment and grace, fidelity to Scripture, the invitation to salvation

Location: St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Jacksonville, FL
