Mysteries of Jesus

These are my notes from our Apex service this morning. Rennes Bowers did our sermon this am. Rennes is one of our elders, a Dayton firefighter,and the chaplain for the Dayton Dragons.
Worship was beautiful as always.

Psalm 34:8

Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Taste=savor

John 12:20
Gentiles wanted to see Jesus and went to the disciples to ask.

Mysteries of the Lord Jesus

Ephesians 1:15

1. Spirit of wisdom and revelation to know Him better. It's not just coming to church and bringing your Bible and your ears with you.
God changes us..it's a process.

2. 2 People stare at the cross..one worships and one yawns..what's the difference?
One is drawn to him. He took their blinders off and made their heart soft from stone.
The Lord makes that difference.

3. Revelation 5
The lion who looks like a lamb.
God became a real man. Man was born from Adam's race and curse. Jesus is from God and the virgin Mary. God gave his Son..the greatest Christmas gift.

Jesus became guilty at the cross for all of our sins.
Our record is clean and we become righteous.

Jesus died and rose after the 3rd day. He comes back as the lion. The lamb comes back as the lion for judgment day and we see the wrath of the lamb.

Christmas is Act 1 of the play.
