Revelation 3:7-13
Are you feeling smart this morning? Good. I've got a little quiz for you to take. Just three simple questions. You've got three blanks on your sermon notes to put your answers. Ready? Whoever gets all three correct I'm giving a Billion Dollars. Just like Warren Buffet and the perfect March Madness bracket. If you believe that...
Question #1: ''How many doors are in this worship center?'' Write your answer down.
Question #2 - ''How many doors are in this entire building?'' Obviously you should have studied.
Question #3 - ''How many doors-TOTAL-on our entire campus?'' Includes the Realm across the street.

#2: 315. Did any one get that one right? No billion-dollar winner. Sorry about that.
#3 is 373. Anyone close?

If you got your hand up-you get an A on the quiz. Matter of fact, the word door or doors is found 123 times in the Bible. It's used in a literal way and spiritual way. The spiritual way has 3 categories...
The first category would be the door of INTAMACY. Intimacy with Jesus. Revelation 3:20-which is part of our text for our next letter says, ''Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.'' Often this verse is used for evangelism, but actually this is written to Christians. Jesus is talking to believers who have drifted away from Him and become lukewarm in th ...
