Gentlemen,
We WILL meet for Bible study this Monday, June 17th! Please review the following questions to prepare you for our discussion on Revelation 3:7-13. Download and print the handout, Message to Philadelphia, and bring this with you for note-taking.
- What does the word Philadelphia mean?
- What is communicated by the character traits of Jesus noted in 3:7? Where else can you find these character traits?
- What specific things does Jesus know [οἶδα] about the Christians in Philadelphia?
- God placed an open door of opportunity in front of the church at Philadelphia. What open doors of ministry are before the church today?
- We tend to view churches with large facilities, congregations, and/or budgets as “successful” … yet Jesus proclaimed that Philadelphia possessed “little power” (v. 8) … What are God’s standards for using a church, or making it successful?
Dessert will be served a little before 7 pm … our study will start soon after that.
Remember to bring …
- … your Bible
- … a notebook or journal
- … something to write with
- … ears ready to hear
- … eyes longing to see
- … an open mind eager to learn
- … a softened heart ready to receive God’s truth
- … and a yielded will ready to heed His instruction!
I am eager to be with all of you again! … and to show you more pictures of my grandson! 😉
Shalom!
