Revelation 13

John’s 4 Life-Changing Discoveries:
	His Gospel
	His Epistle (1 John)
	Revelation 1-11
	Revelation 12-20

First Life-Changing Discovery
	Know/believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Anointed One of God, for you

Second Life-Changing Discovery
	Embrace the triple AAA solution
		Agree with God
		Admit your responsibility
		Affirm your forgiveness

Worship is giving focused, concentrated attentiveness on who God is and what He has done in history.

Third Life-Changing Discovery
	Share your story of personal forgiveness

John saw that the means to cope and deal with the sea beast/trials is patient endurance. (Revelation 13:11)

John saw that the means to deal with the land beast is insightful wisdom and the ability to calculate the human depravity driven by the evil one. (Revelation 13:18)

A question for all of us in the 21st Century is, “How near to God in my daily practice do I choose to be?”

Fourth Life-Changing Discovery
	Learn to own your trials
	
So the 4 Life-Changing Discoveries are:
	Know Jesus is your Anointed Christ
	Confess your sin and lay hold of forgiveness
	Share your story
	Own your trials
