    Sardis: Confessions Of A Dying Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013
     | 7,458 views

    This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

    As depressing as it might be the opening passage of this letter sounds more like an obituary. The body of believers in Sardis is dead….well almost. Only faint life signs of a faithful remnant remain. For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more

    Tradition says Jesus was crucified on Good-Friday, but the question must be asked, how do you fit three days AND three nights from Friday to Sunday?

    WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED ON “GOOD-FRIDAY”? TEXT: JOHN 19:16-42 INTRODUCTION: In order to really understand the strange and compelling three days of our Lord’s great victory at Calvary, we need to be certain about the Sabbath days. The importance of the Sabbath to the nation of Israel can hardly be ...read more

    A sermon to deal with dissension and other harmful areas to the unity of a church.

    Let me start out this morning by saying that we are very blessed. We started this church in a small conference room in Mesa last September. In November, we moved to Chandler with 4 people and a vision from God. Today, just 5 short months later, we have a very wonderful place to come and worship ...read more

    He's Not A Baby Anymore!

    The manger is empty as well as the grave. We are not dealing with a child.

    He’s Not A Baby Anymore! We are in the season where everybody gets all mushy. Maybe it is because a baby in a manger brings out the paternal instincts in people. Maybe it is because a baby is not threatening. There is something about the Christ child that gets more attention than the day we ...read more

    In the millennia-old Aristotelian tradition, as well as early modern traditions that follow it, substances or ousia are treated as having attributes and modes or things. Faith is a substance

    Hebrews 11:1(KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 1. Faith is a substance "Substance" hypostasis; concretely, essence, or abstractly, assurance, confidence, confident, person, substance. What is a Substance?

    Are you struggling to keep the doors open? Stop! God is most likely calling you to a better pasture because yours is brown.

    "What God does not ordain, He does not sustain." - Unknown This may well be why so many church starts fail. Intentions may have been good and demographics screamed, "GO!", but the still small voice of God said, "No" or "Not now" or "Not you." It ...read more

    We tackle the group that Jesus refers to in the Sermon on the Mount as wolves in sheep's clothing. These are the one who work their way into the church congregation, get places of authority and then start sharing lies or half-truth about God or His Word for the purpose of deceiving you.

    Introduction: Today, we are going to look at the final group of players whose purpose is to deceive you and me as we approach the end times. In previous weeks, we looked at the scoffer who gets the Christian to question God. And then we saw last week that Satan uses lawlessness to his advantage to ...read more
