Sermon, November 2, 2008, Revelation 4.1 Open Doors
Revelation 4.1 Open Doors
The Book of Revelation begins with 3 doors
that we can choose to walk through.
A. DOOR NUMBER 1: the Gospel [3.7-8]
1. God opens doors for us to share the Gospel
2. Look for the doors that God is opening
What door might God be opening for ME?
B. DOOR NUMBER 2: fellowship with Jesus [3.20]
1. Jesus knocks to get our attention
2. Choose to open the door and invite Jesus in
C. DOOR NUMBER 3: confidence about life [4.1]
1. We can see things from the perspective of heaven
There is a throne in heaven: God is in control
2. Jesus is the key to seeing things from heaven’s perspective
a. This is the voice of Jesus [1.10, 12-13]
b. Jesus opens up the mysteries of God [Col 1.15-19; 2.2-3]
3. We can live life in the light of heaven’s perspective
God’s sovereign control is not just a truth to be believed, but lived.
