A Fearful Expectation 3
The importance of being part of a biblical church. Reasons from scripture: 1. People would join or unite with the early church. And we see that again in Acts 9:26. 2. There were moral and spiritual standards for membership. And from Acts 9 we see that even people like Paul sought to unite with the early church. And… 3. There was spiritual discernment involved in deciding if indeed someone should be allowed in. 4. There was spiritual oversight over who came in to the church. 5. Within the church was physical as well as spiritual protection.

Matthew 21:1-11 How is the Entry into Jerusalem Triumphant?
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself this important question? Have you ever wondered why Jesus stops on the Mt. of Olives just outside of Bethpage (3 miles short of His goal) to order his disciples to go and retrieve a donkey? Have you ever wondered why this action takes place since the pilgrims were supposed to walk to the passover festival? And again, have you wondered why on one hand, the crowd shouts, Hosanna, then shouts, "He is a prophet from Nazareth of Galilee, then three days later they shout, "Crucify Him?" Why do our children bring palm branches into the church and wave them around on Palm Sunday? What does this passage mean?

The Philadelphia Church Age
Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Rev 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Strengthened by God to Strengthen Others
Do you ever wonder why Paul was so effective when he preached with bruises on his body. Many times you read and you follow the places Paul left in order to preach to the next group and then write back to the church he started and left and you scratch your head and say I want a bit of that Spirit of Christ in me...

The Sardis Church Age
Rev 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Rev 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Rev 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
