    The Seven Churches-Thyatira Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 1, 2026
     | 77 views

    A good church can be destroyed by false teachers. Thyatira had one of the worst false teachers and the Lord had to remind them just how evil that false teaching really was.

    The Seven Churches-Thyatira Introduction: Thyatira is the fourth in the series of the Seven Churches. As with the other churches, the Lord gives a picture or reminder of Himself, followed by a word of praise. He then points out a problem and gives an exhortation to fix or solve that problem.

    The Seven Churches-Sardis Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 4, 2026
     | 67 views

    The Lord didn't have much good to say about Sardis. Yet "even in Sardis", there were some genuine believers who wanted to live for our Lord, and did so!

    The Seven Churches-Sardis Introduction: The year 1747, a park bench in Warsaw, Poland in the mid-1950’s, and a church in what’s now western Turkey. On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be a common thread, but the truth is that all of these refer to the church in Sardis. This church is the fifth ...read more

    Discipleship begins where control ends. Trust is revealed not by belief, but by movement

    Introduction We live in a time that prizes manageability above almost everything else. We want lives that are controllable, predictable, and efficient. We value systems that reduce friction and minimize risk. We are constantly offered ways to simplify what feels demanding, streamline what feels ...read more

    The Seven Churches-Philadelphia Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 9, 2026
     | 85 views

    Philadelphia didn't seem to be a large church, but the little strength they had was enough for them to overcome with the Lord's help. This church was truly the church of the open door!

    The early Christian ministry, as depicted in the New Testament, was a dynamic and transformative period marked by the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of the Church.

    1. Ministry of the Word of God: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalms 19:7-11 As the early church grew rapidly, some widows were neglected in the daily distribution of food.

    This church, the last of the Seven, received a strong message from the Lord Jesus Christ. Still, there is a tender and beautiful invitation in the last few verses. Have you opened the door to Jesus?

     | 3,706 views

    Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! How many of you are wearing green? Good for you. But - wasn’t it just Christmas a couple of weeks ago? It’s hard to believe that Easter is only two weeks away. I realize that what I’m about to say will betray my age, but don’t you find that every year seems to go by ...read more

    How can revival take place when the church is dead and there is no voice to speak life into them? Such is the state of affairs of the churches today.

    Opening illustration: A U.S. Lutheran bishop tells of visiting a parish church in California and finding a stirring red and orange banner on the wall. “Come Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!” it declared in words printed under a picture of a fire burning. The bishop was also interested in the sign directly ...read more

    Election in the Church today is very ugly at every level from local congregation to the international forums. According to their spiritual standard people play the politics in a simple position to the highest rank. God hates.
