    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 13, 2026
     | 23 views

    This church, the last of the Seven, received a strong message from the Lord Jesus Christ. Still, there is a tender and beautiful invitation in the last few verses. Have you opened the door to Jesus?

    The Seven Churches-Laodicea Introduction: (Full disclosure, this message is based on a sermon I preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on November 30, 2025 but is not an exact transcription.) This last church of the Seven Churches is both a reminder and a warning to all people. The ...read more

     | 56 views

    Philadelphia didn't seem to be a large church, but the little strength they had was enough for them to overcome with the Lord's help. This church was truly the church of the open door!

    The Seven Churches-Philadelphia (Full disclosure: this message is based on a sermon I preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on November 23, 2025 but is not an exact transcription.)

    The Seven Churches-Sardis Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 4, 2026
     | 43 views

    The Lord didn't have much good to say about Sardis. Yet "even in Sardis", there were some genuine believers who wanted to live for our Lord, and did so!

    The Seven Churches-Sardis Introduction: The year 1747, a park bench in Warsaw, Poland in the mid-1950’s, and a church in what’s now western Turkey. On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be a common thread, but the truth is that all of these refer to the church in Sardis. This church is the fifth ...read more

    The Seven Churches-Thyatira Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 1, 2026
     | 62 views

    A good church can be destroyed by false teachers. Thyatira had one of the worst false teachers and the Lord had to remind them just how evil that false teaching really was.

    The Seven Churches-Thyatira Introduction: Thyatira is the fourth in the series of the Seven Churches. As with the other churches, the Lord gives a picture or reminder of Himself, followed by a word of praise. He then points out a problem and gives an exhortation to fix or solve that problem.

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 27, 2025

    The Seven Churches-Pergamum Introduction: The first two churches mentioned in Revelation 2—Ephesus and Smyrna—were both located near the sea (at least in the time John wrote this book).

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 23, 2025
     | 68 views

    Smyrna was another of the Seven Churches of Asia. The Lord Jesus Christ gave them a message of things to come, and rewards for those who remained faithful even in times of persecution.

    The Seven Churches-Smyrna Introduction: Smyrna was the second of the seven churches listed in Revelation 2-3. The message to the “angel (literally, messenger; likely the senior pastor or overseer)” was brief and to the point. Troubles were there, more was coming, but the Lord promised rewards to ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 16, 2025

    Ephesus was a large and important city in the Roman Empire. Paul and others preached the Gospel, won people to Christ, and wrote them a letter. Now it was time for another letter, this one coming from Jesus Himself.

He and the disciples did indeed go to a few other places, like Samaria, but this time the group headed east to the land of Gadara. They encountered some things they probably never ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 27, 2025
     | 209 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ used this parable of the sower and seed to explain various reactions to the Gospel. The reactions of His day are much the same as in these days.

    The Parable of the Sower and Seed (Luke’s edition) Introduction: This parable of the sower and seed is recorded in each of the so-called synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke).

     | 129 views

    John the Baptist was in prison and was concerned: was Jesus _really_ the One Who was to come? He sent two of his disciples to speak with Jesus. They received a reply that seemed to satisfy everyone.

    An outline for John's question and Jesus' reply Introduction: Jesus had just performed two miracles by healing the servant (slave) of a Roman centurion (supervising 100 soldiers) and raising a dead young man back to life. Some disciples of John the Baptist heard of this and shared the news ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 16, 2025
     | 256 views

    Centurions were Roman army officers who supervised 100 soldiers. One of these men had a servant who was very sick so he asked Jesus to heal the servant. What happened next?

    A Roman Centurion’s Great Faith Introduction: The last half of Luke chapter 6 has the text of what some call “The Sermon on the Plateau” or the level place. There are a number of things similar, and different, than the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 but that’s not the point of this message. By ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 22, 2025
     | 313 views

    Jesus saw a man whose right hand was withered and then, in the synagogue, healed him. Some of the religious leaders were there, too, and were furious with Jesus because of this.

    A Healing in the Synagogue Introduction: Jesus healed people in different places at different times. One of the more unusual healings took place when four men carried a paralyzed man to a house but couldn’t enter. They didn’t stop, though: they carried the man up to the roof, opened a hole in the ...read more

    On one Sabbath, Jesus and the disciples ate some raw grain as they traveled. Some Pharisees objected to this but Jesus had something interesting to say when He replied to them!

    The Lord of the Sabbath Introduction: Maybe it happened more than once, but there was at least one time when Jesus and the twelve disciples were so hungry they found some raw grain for their meal!
