Jesus Messiah

Only A Holy God

Prayer of Confession: Psalm 40:11-12, 16-17

All: Lord, as I repent of sins, do not hold back your mercy from me. May your love and faithfulness always protect me. For my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They outnumber the hairs on my head; my heart fails me. Please, Lord, save me! Make haste, Lord, and help me. May those who love your salvation shout, “The Lord is great!” As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.

Silent Confession

Before the Throne of God Above (offering)

Assurance of Pardon: 2 Chronicles 7:14; 30:9b 

All: The Lord promised, “if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful. He will not turn his face away if you come back to him.” O Lord, here we stand as your redeemed people, adoring your holy name. Hallelujah! God be praised!

Sermon Outline

Title: “Key, Open Door, Pillars”
Preacher: Dave Hopping

Text: Revelation 3:7-13

7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.

8 “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

Sermon Reflection Questions

  1. How does Jesus having the key to salvation affect how you live your life and interact with
    people?
  2. What challenges do you face in keeping God’s word and are there areas of your life where
    you find yourself denying Christ’s name? Are there people you share with and pray about
    these things?
  3. What are some open doors for the gospel that God has put in front of you? Are there things
    that hold you back from those open doors? Have there been any times that have surprised
    you where God has opened a door?
  4. Have there been times where the hope we have in eternity has carried you through

Pray for this war to end, justice, and continued protection.

For the Braşov, Romania church plant that is serving many Ukrainian refugees. Praise for the sweet friendships in the church and outside.  Pray that I may develop deeper relationships with Ukrainian church members and others, that I may rest in Christ and learn more of His Word and His love for me, that we may be loving and sensitive to those hurting, bringing the hope of Christ to them.

Praise for the Lord’s provision of a new lawyer and different location to process documents for my visa. Pray for my Ukrainian visa appointment on May 27th.
