Today is a special Lord's Day. We have reached a chapter in the Revelation that speaks about the authority and need of the Word of God in the world. This is our annual Gideon Bible testimony and offering Sunday which will allow our Church to give Bibles around the world to spread the Gospel to souls in need of a Saviour.

Our message today "Back to Bethel" is a Biblical call to revival as we enter Grace2020. "Bethel" means "House of God". The church is "Bethel" – the people of God are the house of God. Wherever God is at work in Holy Spirit revival is a "Bethel". We are praying for Grace2020 to become a Bethel, a work of God in our midst.

The Lamb of God must become your Lamb. We worship the Lamb because He was willing to come to earth to die for our sins. We sing a new song to the Lamb because of joy. We love the Lamb for the perfection of His Person. We rest in the Lamb because of the security of His promises.

The story of the Bible is the Story of the Revelation, the unveiling, of the Lamb of God. The question of questions in the Old Testament was uttered by Isaac on Mount Moriah, the future site of the Cross, "My Father...where is the lamb?" (Genesis 22:7) The declaration of declarations of the New Testament was uttered by John the Baptist as he pointed to Jesus of Nazareth and said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" (John 1:29)
