While scholars differ on the specifics of Revelation 20, the general message is clear. Christ will return and establish His kingdom, reward His people, and judge all that is unrighteous.

Not only do we identify with Christ, but Christ identifies with us. We are the body of Christ as He has chosen to make Himself known through the church.
Study leads to truth; worship helps embed truth in our hearts. Worship brings the realization that earth and heaven have nothing of value compared to God.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Praying in the New Year part 2 (More than Cheese and Crackers)
1. Ephesians 3:14-16
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from
whom his whole family in heaven and on earth
derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious
riches he may strengthen you with power
through his Spirit in your inner being,
www.networkbible.org
2. Ephesians 3:17-19
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and
established in love, may have power, together
with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long
and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to
know this love that surpasses knowledge—that
you may be filled to the measure of all the
fullness of God.
www.networkbible.org
3. Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably
more than all we ask or imagine, according to
the power that is at work within us, to him be
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Amen.

4. God is SOVEREIGN over creation because He is its Creator.
Apart from God we will never know the life we were
DESIGNED to live.
Paul’s prayer is not only that we
understand what is ours, but that we
begin LIVIN’ in what we are given.
5. The purpose of power is to STRENGTHEN you.
Resolutions are not kept or broken based on PHYSICAL
strength.
Resolutions are broken because the desire for the new is
OVERRIDDEN by the enjoyment of the old.
God starts us with the appetizer of
POWER
6. This prayer is for a DEEPER experience in Christ.
Power is related to how much we have given POSSESSION
of our lives over to Christ.
I pray that Christ may DWELL in your
hearts by faith.
7. We cannot fully understand the love of Christ but that is
no EXCUSE for not seeking to understand it more fully.
The more we understand the love of Christ the greater
MEASURE we can be filled with the fullness of God.
The dessert is the FULLNESS of God.
