Spirit-Led Church Revitalization with Andy Davis - EP205

YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW WHAT CHRIST IS ORCHESTRATING…YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW CHRIST!
Revelation 1:12-20 ESV
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, [13] and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. [14] The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, [15] his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. [16] In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. [17] When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, [18] and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. [19] Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. [20] As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH…AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO…DO WHAT YOU KNOW TO DO…BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT CHRIST IS ORCHESTRATING IT!

YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW WHAT CHRIST IS ORCHESTRATING…YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW CHRIST!

DO YOU KNOW CHRIST?

We are a reformed congregation in Las Vegas, Nevada. We exist for the purpose of preaching the Gospel, believing the Gospel, and living with one another and the world by the implications of the Gospel.

As Pastor of Texas Baptist Church, I would personally like to thank you ﻿for taking the time to listen and allowing us a few minutes to introduce our ministry to you.

Maybe we knocked on your door, you saw one of our gospel tracts, or a friend personally invited you to attend one of our services or you just took time to listen to one of our messages. Whatever the case you are welcome.

Founded in February of 2000, Texas Baptist Church welcomes everyone from all backgrounds. A place where lives are touched, hearts are encouraged and new beginnings are possible. It is our desire to see your family find and thrive in God's will. There are many churches in the San Antonio area to chose from, but I pray that you will give Texas Baptist Church a visit! I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,
 Keith Bell, Pastor
