    The Seven Churches-Smyrna Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 23, 2025
     | 169 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

    Pergamum was the third in the series of the Seven Churches. This church had a few problems, but the Lord had words of comfort for them.

    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). With Pergamos/Pergamum, the locations become more inland. There are several commentaries and other resources ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 1, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 166 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.

    The Seven Churches-Sardis Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 4, 2026
     | 148 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

    Discipleship begins where control ends. Trust is revealed not by belief, but by movement

    Introduction We live in a time that prizes manageability above almost everything else. We want lives that are controllable, predictable, and efficient. We value systems that reduce friction and minimize risk. We are constantly offered ways to simplify what feels demanding, streamline what feels ...read more

    The Seven Churches-Philadelphia Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 9, 2026
     | 161 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.) Introduction: My paternal grandfather and one of Dad’s brothers were both pastors for many years. ...read more

     | 2,120 views

    The picture of a great church in Acts 4:32-37 shows us that the church was faithful in two key areas.

    Introduction When you think of a great church, what comes to mind? We live in a day in which there is a lot of confusion over this question. Many churches are a reflection of our society which has become satiated with entertainment. Neil Postman, in his profound book titled, Amusing Ourselves ...read more
