    For The Sake Of The Call

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 23, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,470 views

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

    Acts 2:14-41 shows us that the gospel that Peter preached is still the gospel for today.

    Thyatira — When Faithfulness Is Subverted Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 31, 2026
     | 187 views

    Thyatira warns that faithfulness can be redirected when tolerance replaces discernment and Christ’s authority is quietly shared with other voices.

    By the time we arrive at Thyatira, something has already changed in us. Ephesus taught us that love can cool without rebellion. Smyrna taught us that faithfulness can be costly without being fragile. Pergamum taught us that proximity to power can quietly rearrange loyalty. So when we come to ...read more

    Sardis warns that faith can survive in name and form while losing responsiveness, calling believers to awaken and listen again.

    By the time we arrive at Sardis, something subtle has happened to us. Ephesus taught us that love can cool without rebellion. Smyrna taught us that faithfulness can be costly without being fragile. Pergamum taught us that proximity to power can quietly rearrange loyalty. Thyatira taught us that ...read more

    This message is part of series paralleling ancient Israel & America. Without consideration Israel had rebelled & deserted the Lord & were unconscious of its consequences. They did not realize the seriousness of their situation before God.

    ISAIAH 1:2-9 A NATION UNKNOWINGLY IN CRISIS (Deuteronomy 30:15-20) Isaiah began his book (& ends his book- 66:24) by recounting, very realistically, the response of Judah to Yahweh’s favor and purpose.

    Two criminals were nailed to the cross beside Jesus. Both were close to Him, but responded differently and thus ended worlds apart. Blessings flow when we admit our mistakes and open our heart to God with faith. Choose wisely.

    Calvary is the place of the three crosses. • Two criminals were led to be executed with Jesus that day. • They were in a way, privileged to be so close to Jesus during the last moment of His life, and their own lives. • That gave them the chance, the last chance to know the One who could save ...read more
