This coming Lord’s Day morning our text will be Revelation 1:1-18. I hope you will take time this week to read over these verses several times and ask the Lord to speak to your spirit as you prepare to listen to the sermon!
Jesus told us that, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” I am thankful to belong to an “every word” Church – and I hope you are as well… With that being said, there are some words in the Bible that grab us and speak to us in unusually powerful ways!
Think of these…
The 5 most powerful words in the Bible: “You must be born again!”
The 4 most powerful words in the Bible: “I shall come again!”
The 2 most powerful words in the Bible: “Christ Jesus!”
The 1 most powerful word in the Bible: “Jesus!”
And, what are the 3 most powerful words in the Bible… well, you’ll just have to show up this Sunday and find out for yourself!
As you read the above-listed verses in Revelation, and think about the events of that first Easter, think about the answers for the following questions:
What is the most important single event that ever took place on earth?
Why is Jesus of Nazareth the single most important Person Who ever lived on earth?
Why is it so hard to believe that a man was crucified and buried and then raised Himself back to life three days later?
If this really happened, what difference does it make?
What if it did not happen?
Why would Jesus choose to appear to the Apostle John rather than someone else?
How do you think you would react if Jesus appeared to you in His glorified Body?
So, what are the three most important words ever spoken on earth, and since you will know what they are – who are you going to tell about them?
REMEMBER: On Thursday, April 5th at 7pm, we will meet in the Old Sanctuary for a Maundy Thursday Service! Maundy Thursday celebrates the first Lord’s Supper that Jesus kept on the night before His betrayal. We will pray, sing hymns, read John 13, and then celebrate the Lord’s Supper together.
Dig in to God’s Word! I hope you will read over this exciting portion of God’s Word and ask HIM to prepare your heart for the message this week! I hope you will get studied up, prayed up, and fired up over the opportunity to worship God together with your Church Family!
I hope to see you Easter Morning with a Bible in your hand, a smile on your face, and your family and friends by your side… Remember, more people will respond positively to an invitation to worship with you on Easter than on any other day of the year!
