Posted on September 13, 2008 by Norman Sennema

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 4 OBSERVATION: John leaves the body (can you imagine it, freaky!), and in this unbodied state he sees the headquarters of the universe.

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 3 OBSERVATION: The believers at Philadelphia are very strong, but the believers at Sardis and Laodicea are not doing well. The Sardis believers are putting on a good show, but its hollow, dead on the inside. The Laodicean believers are lukewarm, though they think they are doing OK. Interesting that the door for the…

first love

Posted on September 11, 2008 by Norman Sennema

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 2 OBSERVATION: The general sense of this passage is an encouragement and a challenge. Three of the four churches have some concerns. The health of Smyrna at the time of writing is good, but the Ephesus believers have fallen from their first love, and the Pergamum and Thyatira believers are compromising their morals and…

weak views of Jesus

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Norman Sennema

How do you think about Jesus? Pastor and author Max Lucado describes some of the weak views people have about Christ [taken from Six Hours One Friday (W. Publishing, 2004), pp. 89-90] For some, Jesus is a good luck charm. The “Rabbit’s Foot Redeemer.” Pocket-sized. Handy. Easily packaged. Easily understood. Easily diagrammed. You can put…

symphony of praise

Posted on September 9, 2008 by Norman Sennema
