Sermon Text: Revelation 3:1-6

Outline:

  1. A Dose of Reality
  2. A Deadly Reputation
  3. Developing Repentance

Reflection Questions:

  1. Receive a sobering dose of reality via reading Matthew 23. Specifically ask yourself, “Where/when am I acutely concerned with BEING SEEN by others?” “In what ways am I preoccupied with outward appearances and reputation?”
  2. Colossians 2:6-7 says “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” Think about these verses in light of the story of The Prodigal Son. HOW did the son receive his status & identity as a son? What does it look like to WALK in a manner compatible with THE WAY you received?
