Text: Revelation 5:6-14 As the Elder proclaims, there is one who is worthy in the entire universe to open the scroll and to break its seals. In verses 6-14 John sees the one who is worthy. He is the lamb who is the lion. The Lamb is standing as if slain. He stands in victory. As he takes the scroll from the Father heaven breaks out into worship. Listen to God's word and may the Holy Spirit work in your life for the glory of God.

Text: Mark 12:28-32; Deuteronomy 6:4-9 How will we be remembered? The answer to this question requires honesty and change. Listen as David Nichols explores what it means to live at the foot of the cross.
In Deuteronomy 6 we see the command to love the Lord and in Mark 12 we see the questioning of Jesus by the scribe about the greatest commandment. Why did the scribe ask Jesus the question when as a teacher of the law he should have known the answer? It wasn't because he didn't know the answer but rather that he refused to accept the answer due to his lack of humility.
* To live at the foot of the cross we must (Mark 12:30) love the Lord with:
1) Our Heart.
2) Our Will/Motive.
3) Our Mind.
4) All our Strength.
We cannot do this with a love that we muster up from within ourselves but rather this love must be agape love, the love that comes from God. The wellspring that flows out.
* What keeps us from living at the foot of the cross? Pride. This lack of humility keeps us from loving God. Back in Deut. 6 we see that we must submit daily.
* What if? What would my life look like if I really submitted to God?

Text: Revelation 5:9 Revelation 5 answers the question; “who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?” Upon discovery that the Lamb is worthy, heaven and earth break out in song praising the Lamb that was slain. However, it would be easy to get caught up in the praise of the Lamb without considering why the Lamb bought us. The first stanza of the song plunges the depth of redemption. In the lesson today, I want to consider the question; why did the Lamb buy us?
Application-understanding why the Lamb purchased us may help us to focus on the response we should have. What should that response be? |

Text: Revelation 3:14-22 Setting -the city of Laodicea was a very wealthy city. In fact it was so wealthy that when destroyed by an earthquake in A.D. 60 the people rebuilt the city without the aide of Rome. The city did have a major issue, the water system. The water was piped in from Hierapolis, which was seven miles to the north of Laodicea. By the time the water reached Laodicea it was “lukewarm.” The Lord Jesus uses the picture of lukewarm water to discuss the serious nature of their condition.
