How To Keep On Keeping On
from Meadowbrook Baptist Church Hosted by Tim Baker
Revelation 1:9-20 I. Realize We Can Never Be In A Place Where The Spirit Can’t Lift Us. (vs. 9-11) Patmos was a horrible place. It was a Roman penal colony where Rome sent troublemakers. John was likely lonely, malnourished and suffering. He was separated from his family, friends and church. Yet he worshipped. No matter where a man is, the Spirit of God can lift him up. II. Recognize Jesus Is Closer Than We Think. (vs. 12-17) In this place of desolation John learned that the Risen Lord was present. John also was reminded how much more powerful the Lord was, and how insignificant Rome was. 2 Timothy 1:12 KJV All we ever need is “Him”. III. Remember We Can Never Face Anything God’s Power Cannot Take Us Through. (vs. 17b-20) Jesus said to John, “I am the first and the last”. This means Jesus was here before us. He is always with us now and they’ll never be a time in the future He is not with us. Keys allow you to control who enters and who is refused entrance. John “kept on” and the result was the church outlived the Roman Empire. CONCULSION: Keep On – Help is on the way!
