    Contributed by Larry Grant on Dec 4, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,550 views

    Jesus writes this letter to call the Christians at Pergamos back to the right path. Even today, there is the danger that the Church of Christ might hold the right doctrines, but still drift into compromise with the world around us.

    Revelation 2:12-17 A MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH IN PERGOMOS December 4, 2022 The city of Pergamos (also Pergamon or Pergamum) was the capital city of Asia Minor. It was renowned for its political power, its intellectual achievement and its pagan worship. Lady Sharon and I visited the ruins of ...read more

    The Church Of Casual Christianity

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 8, 2022
     | 1,690 views

    Flies don’t land on a hot stove. A cold church is a dead church, but a hot church is alive.

    What does it mean to be a Church of Casual Christianity? How does a church become casual? Is it speaking of the church building or the church body? Or does it refer to the church members, the individual Christians? Look at the churches depicted in Revelation 2 & 3. • Ephesus – Revelation ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,734 views

    The city of Thyatira was the smallest of the seven cities mentioned in the letters to the churches. Yet, Jesus sends His longest letter. He commends, He confronts and He comforts the church.

    Revelation 2:18-26 A MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH IN THYATIRA December 11, 2022 The city of Thyatira was the smallest of the seven cities mentioned in the letters to the churches.

    The church had become a thermometer that registered the temperature of the city instead of a thermostat that changed the temperature of the city.

    Revelation 3:1-6 A Message to the Church in Sardis 12-18-2022 The city of Sardis, Capital of Lydia, a center of commerce, coins first minted there, carpet and woolen industry located there.

     | 3,951 views

    Studying the response of the first church when persecuted can encourage a proper response to disruption of services in the modern church in the West.

    “And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.” [1] Fairmeadows Church met at seven o’clock each Wednesday evening for a prayer meeting.

    A Church Without Walls

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,222 views

    A study of the first congregation of the Lord provides us with the example of a church without walls. The members did gather for worship, but they were compelled to penetrate their world to tell others of Jesus. We must do the same in this day.

    “There arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after ...read more

     | 7,249 views

    Having spent much time dealing with the end times, Paul shifted his focus mid-way through the closing chapter. He sought to ensure the church developed and maintained a healthy culture in order to remain effective in the midst of trying times.

    The Heart of a Healthy Church 1 Thessalonians 5: 12-15 We are getting close to the conclusion of the first letter Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church. He has covered much with them – seeking to encourage, admonish, and challenge them in their faith. Thessalonica was not a perfect church, but ...read more

     | 6,115 views

    can a church that was once so full of life become a white-washed tomb full of dead men’s bones and rotting corpses? That, my fellow investigators, is our job this morning as “Christian Soul Investigators.” Get it? “CSI”

    God morning, brothers and sisters! Welcome to “CSI: Canton.” For those of you who live in a cave and don’t have cable, “CSI” stands for “Crime Scene Investigation.” Now, CSI started out as a weekly crime show that literally began at the turn of the century … in the year 2000 … on CBS.

    Communion is a celebration of the One who opened what we could not open ourselves – the door of Heaven. He opened it on the cross and then He walked through the door of death and He waits for us on the other side where He will call us by our name and welcome us into His Temple.

    Before I moved here, I was asked to preach at my very first appointment … Anthony United Methodist Church in Anthony, FL. I was their pastor from 1994 to the year 2000. They were kind. They were patient. They had to suffer through a lot of boring … and honestly … terrible sermons and I made a ...read more

    The body of Christ is being built up until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

    We come today to the core issue of the letter: If we're to fulfil our destiny as a church, if we're to demonstrate the manifold wisdom of God then we must be united in heart and mind. Here in ch 4, Paul begins to outline how being the new people of God is to be worked out in the down-to-earth, ...read more

     | 6,242 views

    Paul was passionate about the church. He had developed a personal relationship with them and knew their needs and concerns. Pastors, and those within the church, can glean much from the Apostle in this passage. We need the commitment and passion he had.
