     | 4,485 views

    Pergamum was the first city of Asia to openly support the imperial cult or emperor worship, and therefore was considered the chief seat.

    Letter to the Church in Pergamum Rev. 2:12-17 As we begin our study and draw some application to present day, let’s look back historically to get an idea what was happening 19 centuries ago. We find that Pergamum was the capital of Asia, and had been the capital city of Asia for almost 400 years. ...read more

    Letter To The Church In Thyatira

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,280 views

    For some people today tolerance is the only real virtue and intolerance the only vice. The message to Thyatira goes against the grain of modernity by setting limits to tolerance.

    Letter to the church in Thyatira Rev. 2:18-29 In the opening pages of Revelation, our Lord introduces Himself as heaven’s holy warrior (1:12–20) who would prepare His people to overcome their enemies (2:7, 11, 17, 26; 3:5, 12, 21) by exhorting them to hear what the Spirit has to say in the letters ...read more

    The church in Sardis was a perfect model of an inoffensive Christianity. They apparently invented the concept of “political correctness.

    Letter to the Church in Sardis Rev. 3:1-6 Sardis was located about 30 miles southeast of Thyatira The ruins of 1st century Sardis are located near a city in modern day Turkey named Izmir.

    The church with the "open doors"

    The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia Rev. 3:7-13 Ancient Philadelphia is now called Alesihir in modern day Turkey. Philadelphia was the youngest of all the seven cities.

    Laodicea is nothing more than a “room temperature” church. It has become just like its environment

    The Letter to the Church in Laodicea Rev. 3: 14-22 The book of Revelation is often viewed as a strange book full of mysterious symbols that are difficult or impossible to understand. Yet the Bible states just the opposite! The word "revelation" means "to unveil" or "to ...read more

    Joseph And Pharoah - Joseph Out Of Prison Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Sep 24, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,091 views

    Affliction is always pure gold in the making for the child of God. This is a truth that is repeated throughout pages of Scripture. Even though it looks like nothing is happening, like nothing will ever change, circumstances are being aligned so that God's plan is working.

    Joseph out of the prison Gen. 41: 1-56 When we last left Joseph, he was serving out a sentence for a crime he didn't commit in a place where the sun never shines - the dungeon for the king's prisoners. Chapter 41:1 tells us that Joseph has marked two entire years doing hard time. Two ...read more

    Joseph And Benjamin. Series

     | 5,425 views

    We find that in 43:1-14 Jacob tell his sons to go back to Egypt and buy a “little grain” as their stocks are almost over. The sons refuse to get back unless Benjamin is with them.

    Joseph and Benjamin. Genesis 43:1-34 Chapter 43 of Genesis serves at least two functions. First, it reveals the fears of Jacob and his sons to be entirely groundless. The best that these men could hope for was the release of Simeon and their safe return. (verse 14). Little did these men know ...read more

    Dorthan Revisited Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Oct 28, 2020
     | 3,035 views

    Why did Joseph have to take about a year or so to reveal his identity to his brothers ? I believe it was because there was no evidence of genuine repentance until the events of chapter 44.

    Dorthan revisited Genesis 44: 1-34 Why did Joseph have to take about a year or so to reveal his identity to his brothers ? I believe it was because there was no evidence of genuine repentance until the events of chapter 44. While Joseph’s brothers had come to the point of recognizing the hand ...read more

    Guard Your Heart Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Jun 7, 2021
     | 4,863 views

    Solomon, being taught of David and being gifted with the gift of wisdom which God had given him, realized that wisdom and knowledge of the things of God should bring a person even closer to God; and therefore, keep him from failure and ruin.

    Guard your Heart Proverbs 4: 1-27 Biblical authors claim that the kings of Israel and Judah were divinely chosen and that they were expected to abide by the Mosaic covenant (see, for example, Deut 17:14-17, 1Sam 8-12, 1Kgs 2:3-4). Thus, Israelites saw their king as an agent of God, ruling on ...read more

    Like guardrails on the highway, God’s wisdom gives us guidance on how our desire for intimacy can be channeled in an appropriate direction, without bringing harm to us or others.

    Who's Shaping You? Prov. chapter 5: 1-23 Prov. 6:20-35 In our study of the Book of Proverbs we find that the promise of success for the righteous and destruction for the wicked need to read as general principles that are usually—but not always—fulfilled on this side of glory . ...read more

    Good intentions don’t always end in good decisions. Intentions don’t define our lives, decisions do. We need to temper and steer our good intentions with wisdom and prudence

    Types of Fools Prov. 6:1-19 Proverbs 6 is filled with various statements that counsel against foolish living.
