What God expects from a church is often different from what the Church thinks he expects. This was true at Ephesus and is true at many other churches.

Rev 2:1-7 Introduction: -Seven Golden Candlesticks are the seven churches. -Seven stars are their ministers -Why only seven of the churches – why not Troas, Miletus, Colosse, or Hieropolis? -These seven letters contain messages valuable to our church.

The Seven Churches Of Revelation

Contributed by Larry Cockerham on Jul 5, 2002

based on 71 ratings

| 25,726 views

The seven churches are representative of the church as a whole; the number seven symbolizing completion or perfection.

Most students are eager to get into the action of Revelation as soon as possible. Therefore they tend to skip over chapters two and three in the Book of Revelation without realizing their importance. But the churches give us an almost inexhaustible storehouse of wisdom and knowledge. The seven ...read more

The Church That Tolerates

Contributed by Tony Klinedinst on Mar 26, 2002

based on 54 ratings

| 7,924 views

We are called to be a loving body that accepts all people where they stand, however, the example of Thyatira shows that lines must be drawn for the health of that loving body.

THE CHURCH THAT TOLERATES. Since God created the human race, Satan has taken an active aggressive role against the human race. His goal is to divide and destroy. He wants to seduce us away from the protective arms of our Creator so that he can drag us away to share in his eternal destiny. We ...read more

Smyrna: Some Things Money Cannot Buy Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2003

based on 30 ratings

| 3,946 views

Money may actually distract us from Kingdom priorities. Some things money cannot buy are compassion for the needy, passion for the lost, and love for one another.

I begin this morning with an invocation from my favorite poet, the bard of Baltimore, Ogden Nash, who addressed our favorite god in prayer: “Oh, money, money, money; some may think thee holy. But I cannot figure out how thou goest out so fast and how thou comest in so slowly.” Ogden Nash, ...read more

based on 21 ratings

What happens when the church is ’stuck’? Do we have a word from God to direct us into the future. Explore the state of the church in Laodecia and see if we can’t learn how to be the church today.

Psalm 96: (Sing to the Lord a new song) Revelation 3: 14-19 (poor Laodicea) WE’RE STUCK! As a teenager I often played the old vinyl music albums of the day and, as they got a little worn, they also got stuck – I’d hear the same few words and the same few notes of maddening music over and over ...read more

Thyatira: 'tis The Gift To Be Simple Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 3, 2003

based on 31 ratings

| 5,433 views

True simplicity is a focus on the fundamentals of love, faith, service, and patient endurance. Getting caught up in theological guesses or emotional highs diverts us from "this one thing I do".

Some things are so simple they are hard to understand! Some things are so direct and obvious that we don’t want to accept them as they are. We want to make them complicated. Have you ever tried to describe to someone how to tie a shoestring? It seems simple until you start to teach it. Left ...read more
