Hymn: “I am Thine, O Lord.” CENTRAL THOUGHTIt is God’s desire that every believer becomes a disciplined and committed follower of Christ. TEXT: REV. 3:14-22 INTRODUCTION:Laodicea was an old city in Asia Minor which the Syrian King Antiochus II enlarged, beautified, and renamed after his wife Laodice. It grew to become a great commercial center. A Christian church was established there probably from Ephesus. It was wealthy but painfully lukewarm. Christ’s message to the Laodicean church appears to contain the most serious rebuke to any church, as they were neither here nor there. It is clear that Christ loved this church all the same. Hence, He rebuked them sharply. Believers in Christ must learn to take their stand for God, both in good and bad times and serve Him committedly. LESSON OBJECTIVESBy the end of this lesson, believers should be able to: Explain how Christ introduced himself to the church Compare how Christ rated the church with how they assessed themselves Identify some things that can distract believers from being hot Christians Appreciate Christ’s counsel to the church. BIBLE TRUTH:QUESTION 1) HOW DID CHRIST INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO THE CHURCH? (Revelations 3:14)In this text, the Lord called Himself, “the Amen, the faithful, and true witness”. “Amen” means “so be it”, but when used at the beginning of a sentence, it is translated “verily”. Qualifying the “Amen”, the article “the” presupposes that Christ is the supreme authority whose message to the church is genuine, incontrovertible and not subject to any disputation. Further to the introduction, He described Himself as the faithful and true witness and the beginning of the creation of...

BIBLE TRUTH:QUESTION 1) HOW DID CHRIST INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA? (Rev. 3:7)Right from the Old Testament Scriptures, God has been ascribed the attribute of holiness (Isa. 6:3). God is sinless and faultless; hence, His evaluation of His church is perfect, thorough, and indisputable. That makes Him the “True” God that He is. He is incomparable to any other being in heaven, on earth, and even beneath the earth. He has the key of David, “… he that openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth, and no man openeth” demonstrated the supreme and indisputable power and authority of our...

Hymn: “When We Walk with the Lord” TEXT: REV. 2:18-29 INTRODUCTION:The church belongs to Christ and He is very interested in what goes on in it.

TEXT: REV. 2:12-17 INTRODUCTION:The Lord Jesus Christ knows His church fully well. He is the Head, while the church is His body. Seven revelational letters were written to seven churches, of which the church in Pergamos was one.
