    Letter To The Church In Pergamum

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Jun 10, 2020
     | 4,498 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

    King Ahaziah learns the hard way that seeking help from any other god than the Living God is not a good idea. We must put our trust in the Lord alone, and we must never seek help from occult sources or any other source.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a frog who went to see a fortune-teller to learn about his future. 1. Gazing into her crystal ball, the fortune teller said to the frog, “You are going to meet a beautiful young woman. From the moment she sets eyes on you she will have an insatiable ...read more

    Fear Frustration Faith

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,472 views

    Fear. Frustration. Faith. We all have them and each is related. While faith can be the solution to fear and frustration, it can also be the source of fear and frustration. How can faith be both the solution and the source? That’s what the account of Abraham leads us to consider.

    What are you afraid of? What is it that frustrates you? Maybe your fears come from the “what ifs” in life, what if this happens or that happens. Maybe they are the fears of what other people think of you or the fear of failure. Maybe it’s the fear of things from the past, things that you can’t ...read more

    What The World Needs Now

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 6, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 18,289 views

    The world is in desperate need of love, agape love: willful, purposeful, decisional, sacrificial love. In today's passage, Jesus points us to the source of that love, urges us to choose it as an act of obedience, and sometimes to love until it hurts.

    John 15:9-17  What the World Needs Now In 1965 Burt Bacharach wrote a song he didn’t believe in. He and Hal David offered it to performer Dionne Warwick, who turned it down. Bacharach was reluctant to play it for Jackie DeShannon, but he finally did, and she liked it. Together they recorded, ...read more

    Test 4: The Tongue Test Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007
    based on 64 ratings
     | 54,972 views

    Jesus said what is in a person’s heart inevitably comes out of his mouth. As water flows from a well, words from your mouth reveal the source’s purity. Knowing that, it makes sense that James would make the tongue test a test of true faith.

    1. The first characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is condemning. (1-2) 2. The second characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is controlling (3-5a) 3. The third characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is consuming (5b-6) 4. The fourth characteristic of a ...read more
