"Washed in Grace, Clothed in Righteousness"

Jun 1, 2025  •  Rev. Billy Cerveny

In this heartfelt sermon, Rev. Billy Cerveny unpacks Revelation 22 with honesty and clarity, asking the question many of us carry deep down: Am I really secure in God’s grace? Through Scripture and story—including a turbulent airplane ride—Rev. Cerveny reminds us that salvation is not earned but given, and our robes are made white not by our efforts, but by the blood of the Lamb. A powerful invitation to rest in the righteousness of Christ and the promise of life eternal.

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

Key Themes: Assurance of salvation, grace over works, identity in Christ, robes of righteousness

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