The Church Of Sardis: A Fellowship Taken Off Life Support (Revelation 3:1-6)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 1, 2024

The church at Sardis received not words of commendation from the Lord Jesus Christ, but instead, rebuke and condemnation as well a warning to wake up and strengthen what remains of its effectiveness, testimony, and purpose. Does this describe the church you attend?

The fifth church mentioned in Revelation 2-3 was located in the city of Sardis, fifty miles east of Smyrna and thirty miles southeast of Thyatira. Like the other churches, it was located in western Asia Minor, now known as the nation of Turkey. Sardis was on the major commercial and trade ...read more

The Royal Lineage Of The Lord Jesus (Matthew 1:1-18)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 3, 2024

We tend to skip the list of names in the first verses of Matthew's gospel, but each name is there for a reason, and it is to show the royal line of the Lord Jesus Christ and HIs right to the throne of David as King and Messiah.

Matthew wastes no time in establishing his case to prove that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah and the heir to David's throne as the true king of Israel. His opening statement reads as follows: "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of ...read more

Divided Nation (1 Kings 12)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 28, 2025

How could the sins of one man divide a nation? Let's look in 1 Kings 12.

What led to Jeroboam joining Israel as king? Why did Rehoboam remain only as Judah’s king? What is more important than geography in worshipping God? Let's begin in 1 Kings 12. How did the older, wiser elders of Israel counsel Rehoboam? And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to ...read more

His Triumphal Entry

Contributed by Shawn Miller on Mar 30, 2015

The King Has Come - Palm Sunday

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 15, 2021

The Jews longed for freedom from the Romans. They desired too little. They were too easily satisfied. They wanted freedom in the present from sinful men when the King had come who would forgive their sin and grant them eternity. The true King had come.

Have you ever been in a situation where you really needed some help? A situation just got out of hand. It was too difficult, too painful, you were trapped and there was nothing you could do about it. You really needed someone who could come into your situation and make things right. That had often ...read more

Countering Drip-By-Drip Change...

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jun 10, 2016

Sometime change in our, and our churches, Christian perspective is so slow that we fail to recognize what is happening. It is like the drip-by-drip change, which Nazi ideology brought to Germany.

Countering Drip-by-Drip Change... Illustration We need to take the time to question how the German people could have allowed Nazi fanatics to turn their country into a Satanic tool that killed Jews by the millions? While it is true that early on some Germans openly adopted pagan and irreligious ...read more

Going Over The Baggage Limit

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

Witness is not something Christians are trained to do, but what naturally happens when Christ is truly abided in and His life is allowed to shine.

— When Evangelism Language Wears Us Out There are certain words in the church that carry more weight than we realize. Not because they are wrong words, but because of what they’ve come to mean through repetition. Through tone. Through history. Witness is one of those words. You can feel it in a ...read more
