- O Lord, we come this morning knee-bowed and body-bent before thy throne of grace.
- O Lord – this morning – bow our hearts beneath our knees, and our knees in some lonesome valley.
- We come this morning like empty pitchers to a full fountain, with no merits of our own.
- O Lord, open up a window of heaven, and lean out far over the battlements of glory, and listen this morning.
- Amen.

- Sermon – “Which Church Are We?” (Part 3) – [Revelation 2:18-29 ESV]
- 18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
- 19 “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.
- 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
- 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
- 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
- 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
- 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden.
- 25 Only hold fast what you have until I come.
- 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations,
- 27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.
- 28 And I will give him the morning star.
- 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
