Revelation 3:7–13 [Session 32]

April 15, 2015 by Mark Trotter

The Letter To The Church of Philadelphia, Part 2

Our Lord’s letter to the church in Philadelphia (not Pennsylvania!) in Revelation 3:7–13 outlines for us the absolute greatest period in the history of the church (1500–1900). We will be challenged by their example to be the kind of Christ-followers and church our Lord has called us to be!

Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. The key to understanding the Philadelphian era is wrapped up in “the key of David.” (Rev. 3:7–8) #WordStrong
  2. Jesus holds the KEY of DAVID. Who He gives it to isn’t random. It isn’t a matter of luck, fate, chance or even sovereignty. #WordStrong
  3. Jesus gives the KEY of DAVID to those who possess the “key” in David’s life that made him the “man after God’s own heart.” #WordStrong
  4. The “key” to David’s relationship with God was his reverential ATTITUDE toward…and his passionate LOVE for the WORD of GOD! #WordStrong
  5. David loved the GOD of the WORD, because he loved the WORD of GOD. #WordStrong
  6. Biblically, the KEY of DAVID is a symbol of AUTHORITY and ACCESS. #WordStrong
  7. Practically, the KEY of DAVID has to do with two things: God’s WORD…and God’s WORK. #WordStrong
  8. The KEY of DAVID is the key that OPENS the EYES of your understanding to the WORD of God. #WordStrong
  9. The KEY of DAVID is the key that OPENS the DOORS of opportunity in the WORK of God. #WordStrong
  10. The reason the Philadelphian era was so incredible was the simple fact that believers possessed the key of David. #WordStrong
