Revelation 3:7-13
Introduction
Christ is the key holder, the keeper, the one who opens, and closes doors which no one else is able to. It is important to recognize Christ, and see Him for who He is, and what He is able to do.
To the church in Philadelphia, there are more descriptive phrases attributed to Jesus than any of the other churches.

Romans 12:9
Introduction
In verses 9-21, we are going to look at Holy living! There are some very, very practical things given in the Word of God, that He expects us to adhere to. They are not written simply so we can read them and be aware of them. They are written, that we may PRACTICE them in our life.
Keys to a HOLY Life – These set the tone for the rest of this chapter. Verse 9 is a foundational truth for the rest of the verses that are given.

Pro 3:5-6
Lu 17:5-6
Intro.
It is quite apropos that after our missions conference we should look at these two verses. They are two well known verses, often quoted, and yet hard to apply and live.
Faith is one of the topics that every time it is addressed, there is a need that our faith increase.
(Luk 17:5-6) (5) And the apostles said unto the Lord, [Increase our faith]{.underline}. (6) And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

Psalms 33
Introduction
Psalm 33 doesn’t have a title, Hebrew tradition holds that it is a continuation of the previous Psalm. It is worth noting that Psalm 32 ends on the righteous rejoicing, and Psalm 33 picks up on that very same idea. Whether it was intentionally written that way, or the way it was assembled, one thing is for sure, the Lord orchestrated His Word, and He makes NO MISTAKES!

Romans 12:10-16
Introduction
Last week, we laid a foundation for this week. “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.” (Rom 12:9). This week, I want to teach more through a check list that we should have in our life. He wrote in the beginning of the chapter concerning presenting our bodies. He then talked about being a part of a local new testament church. Our love is to be sincere. There is a simple list that I want

Psalm 34:1-3
Introduction
This Psalm was written when David had been driven out of the country. He was forced to the land of the Philistines. Obviously, he was not welcome there, as he had killed their giant, and their hero. To help us get full context of this Psalm, let’s read the account.
1 Samuel 21:10-15
Notice in verse 10, David was fearful. It is a fearful thing to be on the top 10 wanted list of the king… and I’m pretty sure that David was number 1 on that list.

Revelation 3:14-22
Introduction
The attributes of Christ revealed in each passage are the ones appropriate for the need of the church. He reveals Himself as we need Him.
Not all the churches received a negative commentary. Two churches were simply encouraged to continue in the things they were doing. However, of the ones not doing right, I want to recap the verses:

Romans 12:17-21
Introduction
The previous verses we looked at in this chapter really dealt with the believer and his interaction with other believers. I put together a check list for keeping track of your life. The verses we will look at tonight, really deal with living among a lost world that practices evil against you.
By way of introduction, the phrase, “Recompense to no man evil for evil.” sets the tone and theme for these verses. It opens with reference to evil, and closes with reference to evil, and tells us how to behave when faced with evil.
