Philadelphia
We’re so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!
-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --
Write this letter to the angel of the church in Philadelphia. Revelation 3:7 NLT
You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself.The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments. Matthew 22:37-40 NLT
Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14 ESV
We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 ESV
You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5:43-44 CSB
Love others with the same intention, care, and compassion you recognize you yourself require.
But know this: Hard times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, demeaning, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people. 2 Timothy 3:1-6 NLT
I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. Revelation 3:8 NLT
With Jesus, you are always seen, completely known, fully loved and faithfully led!
I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. Revelation 3:8 NLT
This is the message from the one who is holy and true, the one who has the key of David. What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open. Revelation 3:7 NLT
The power of the open-door promise is only realized through obedient trust.
You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. Revelation 3:8 NLT
Watch as I take those who call themselves true believers but are nothing of the kind, pretenders whose true membership is in the club of Satan, watch as I strip off their pretensions and they’re forced to acknowledge it’s you that I’ve loved. Revelation 3:9 MSG
Actions, not words, are what actually counts when it comes to obeying God and His Word.
I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD. 2 Kings 22:8 NKJV
Religious misery is striving to do right apart from the Grace found in knowing and obeying God’s Word.
Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown. All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. Revelation 3:10-13 NLT
God’s promises do not require perfection, but rather perseverance and a faithful heart that beats for Him.
