When the music fades and all is stripped away and I simply come longing just to bring something of worth that will bless your [Music] heart. And I'll bring you more than a song. For a song in itself is not what you have [Music] required. You search much deeper within the way things appear. You're looking into my heart and I'm coming back to the heart of worship when it's all about you. It's all about you, Jesus. And I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it when it's all about you. It's all about you, Jesus. And I'm coming back to the heart of worship. When it's all about you, it's all about you, Jesus. And I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it when it's all about you. It's all about you, Jesus. [Music] Jesus. Jesus. Well, I just want you. Nothing else. No, nothing else. Nothing else will do. I just want you. Nothing else. No, nothing else. Nothing else will do. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Father. Lord, we love you. We worship you, King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

ground. We're standing on holy ground. For the Lord is here and where he is is holy. Tell him one more time that you love him. I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice. to worship you, oh my soul.

and the crucifixion. But we're going to talk about today the keys of the kingdom. And we're going to do that. And I'm going to have to repeat myself over there some things that I've taught already because there's been some false teaching spread around. So, I'm going to have to deal with it. And so, we're going to get into the word and into deep a little deeper into the Greek than normal this morning. We'll show you what some stuff means. But let's look at Revelation chapter 1. I just want to read this from verse 10. And this is just uh awesome. I love this part here in Revelation. The apostle John writes, "I was in the spirit," capital S mean the Holy Spirit. "I was in the spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. What thou seeest write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia, unto Ephesus, and to Smy Smyrna, to Pergamis, to Thotyra, to Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Leodysia. And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks, one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and gird about the paps were with a golden girdle. His head and the hairs and his hairs were white as wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and his feet like under fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace, and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not. I am the first and the last. I am he that liveth and was dead, and behold, I am alive forever more. Amen. And have the keys of hell and death." You might want to underline that. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter, the mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks which thou saw are the seven churches. So Jesus says here when he died, we know according to the scriptures that he went down into Hades into hell, not the suffering side of it, but he went down into the paradise side because he told the thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me in paradise." And we know from the book of Ephesians chapter 4 that it says he
