    This is the only mention in the Bible about the Church of Smyrna. Smyrna was very close to Ephesus, which we looked at last week.

    There is a British comedy show called Keeping Up Appearances. (Give brief overview of the show.) Things aren’t always as they appear.

    Do your remember the Folgers commercial where that college student named Peter sneaks into the house at Christmas and started making coffee? Everyone in the house soon woke up to rich aroma.

    based on 26 ratings
     | 8,307 views

    This is on the Letter to Philadelphia

    Some places have locked doors where you can’t go. Many businesses have “security doors” to control who can and can’t get in or out. Stores have “open doors” at the front, but closed doors in the back. We are to use the “open” door, not the closed one. Read Revelation 3:7-13. There are some ...read more

    Hello, my name really isn’t all that important. I’m one of the little known characters in the Bible. I appear and disappear in a matter of a few verses.

    based on 18 ratings
     | 4,194 views

    Most people have dreamed of being someone else at certain points in their lives. God simply wants us to enjoy who he made us to be.

    Have you ever wanted to be someone else? What an amazing question. It was a question that we asked dozens of people and very few were willing to admit their desire to be someone else. I know that I have wanted to be someone else at times. I always wanted to be my older brother Kevin. I wanted ...read more

    based on 47 ratings
     | 14,757 views

    This is about Jesus and woman at the well.

    This is a rich passage. I could spend a couple months preaching from this passage. Give background of animosity between Jews and Samaritans. Women were marginalized. Read John 4:1-42.
