This sermon examines believers and churches that move away from their first love (honeymoon love).
When my wife and I first married I received a rebuke from one of our senior adult members. I jokingly stated that we were still on our honeymoon. The way I expressed myself made it sound as if the honeymoon was coming to an end. This senior adult lady informed me that "the honeymoon should never ...read more
Scripture: Revelation 2:1-7
The Messenger to the CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA identifies Himself by saying, “THESE ARE THE WORDS OF HIM WHO IS HOLY AND TRUE.” These are divine attributes. Deity is delivering the message to the church of brotherly love.

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

There is a number of things that hinders the church from growing.
ACTS 2:41-47 “WHAT HINDERS CHURCH GROWTH?” A) Church growth is normal ...

This is the first of eight sermons dealing with the Seven Churches of the Revelation
One letter, seven churches. Most of us are familiar with the Revelation of John, the last book in the New Testament, or at least we think we are.

Who is the church for? Believers or unbelievers? Or to use more contemporary terms - churched or unchurched. Listen today as Pastor Steve addresses who is the church in the midst of the seeker-sensitive movement.
Recently I was invited to attend a church planters conference in Lake Yale. At that conference I was exposed to various teaching and methods for reaching the unchurched. As I sat there and listened and took notes, I couldn’t help to think how we have somehow missed it when it comes to the purpose ...read more
Scripture: Colossians 1:18

Introduction: These last verses of Acts 19 show some of the opposition Paul faced as he taught the Truth of God and God’s Word to the people in Ephesus. Paul had seen the Lord work in a number of ways; now, he was going to experience some of the hatred the devil had for him and for all those who ...read more
