    This message indicates that we can truly know Jesus only by our personal relationship with Him.

    Test: “Who do men say that I am?” (Mark 8:27). If someone were to ask you, “Who is this One called Jesus?” What would you say? How would you describe Jesus?

    If God’s judgments sound strange to us it’s because we do not fully understand the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. Man’s purpose for living is to glorify God and every person will ultimately glorify God.

    Revelation 6:3-4; 12:3-4a Purpose: To expose the awfulness of sin. Aim: I want the listener to hate sin and forsake it. INTRODUCTION: At first glance, it seems odd to us that the glorious worship of chapters 4 & 5 is immediately followed by the awful judgments that begin in chapter 6. But, the ...read more
