The Response 

  • Revelation 5:11 - 14

    • Every creature gives all blessing and glory to Jesus.

How do WE see Jesus?

  • Do we see our sin as simple mistakes or as the punishment that Jesus suffered to redeem us?

  • Do we see our worship as just another song or as a privileged encounter with the savior?

  • Do we see our calling as an obligation or as a beautiful opportunity to invite others into a relationship with the King?
