  • The Church At Ephesus Series

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 4, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,994 views

    What can we learn today from the Church at Ephesus, one of the seven churches in Revaltion2 -3 ?

    Many people are frightened by the book of Revelation, because it seems to be unintelligible. I hope that, if not tonight, by the end of this sermon series at Advent, you’ll see that not only is it reasonably easy, with some careful background reading (which I’ve done on your behalf), for ...read more

  • The Churches At Smyrna And Pergamum

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 10, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 1,929 views

    What can we learn today from the churches at Smyrna and Pergamum, one of the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 ?

    Why would letters be written to these churches? Well, Smyrna was a very important centre of trade, with a valuable harbour, and big wine business. It was a very beautiful city, even outstanding. In all the civil wars, the people of Smyrna always chose the right side to be: it was politically ...read more

  • Church At Thyatira Series

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 17, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,654 views

    the next sermon in the series on the seven churches of Asia

    And so we come to the church at Thyatira. This is the longest of the seven letters, which, ironically, was written to the smallest and least important city. Unlike the other towns, we don’t know very much about Thyatira, so it’s not so easy to understand and interpret the contents of the letter. ...read more

  • Church In Sardis

    The message to the church in Sardis and it’s relevance to us today

    Over the last few weeks in the United Reformed Church, we’ve been looking at the stories of some churches, and seeing what they might have to say to us today. These stories are in the book of Revelation, and they take the form of letters that were written to these churches. Like all of the book ...read more

  • Where's The Love? Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Apr 18, 2004
    based on 21 ratings
     | 4,665 views

    This is the first of a seven part series: "Seven Letters to Seven Chruches" based on the letters to the seven churches in Revelation.

    Intro to the “Seven Letters to Seven Churches” series. Seven churches enduring difficult times: persecution. As we go through this the next 7 weeks, let’s ask ourselves, “Is this our church? What is similar? What can we learn?” I remember the “Where’s the beef?” Wendy’s commercials. It had ...read more

  • Comfort For Difficult Times Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Apr 25, 2004
    based on 26 ratings
     | 5,969 views

    This is on the Letter to Smyrna.

    This is the only mention in the Bible about the Church of Smyrna. Smyrna was very close to Ephesus, which we looked at last week. Paul likely started the church while he was in Ephesus for three years. Acts 19:10 says, “This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the ...read more

  • How Should We Respond To Pressures? Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on May 1, 2004
    based on 20 ratings
     | 3,629 views

    This about the letter to the Church in Pergamum.

    We hear a lot in our day about pressure. We have pressure here. We have pressure there. Pressure, pressure, everywhere pressure. We talk about pressure with the weather. One thing I have noticed is that when we have low pressure, we get hurricanes. High pressure brings a clear, sunny ...read more

  • Keeping Up Appearances Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on May 6, 2004
    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,391 views

    This is about the letter to Thyatira.

    There is a British comedy show called Keeping Up Appearances. (Give brief overview of the show.) Things aren’t always as they appear. The middle church of the seven is a church where things weren’t as they appeared. Read Revelation 2:18-29. One thing that is fascinating about this letter is ...read more

  • Rekindle The Desire Series

    Contributed by Adam Deibert on May 7, 2004
    based on 45 ratings
     | 10,100 views

    The church of Ephesus shows us that doctrinal soundness and evangelistic zeal do not replace the need for a love relationship with Jesus.

    This morning marks the start of a series of seven sermons in which we will examine the seven churches of Asia Minor, which are found in the book of Revelation. As Adventists, I believe that we have a solid grasp of the prophetic interpretations of the messages of Daniel and Revelation, but I also ...read more

  • Hold Fast Thy Crown Series

    Contributed by Adam Deibert on May 7, 2004
    based on 106 ratings
     | 34,473 views

    The church of Smyrna shows us today how to live a victorious Christian life in the face of persecution and trial.

    It has been said that there have been more Christian martyrs in recent years than there were during the time of the Caesars. According to a study done by Regent University, in 1999, nearly 164’000 Christians worldwide were martyred for their faith, and in 2000 that number was closer to 165’000. ...read more

  • Hold Fast My Name Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,923 views

    The Church of Pergamos teaches us how to stay true ot the Gospel in the midst of scandal and prevailing wickedness.

    This morning we are making the third stop in our study of the seven churches of the book of Revelation. So turn with me please, in your Bibles, to Revelation chapter 2, and read with me starting at verse 12, as we pay a visit to the church of Pergamos (read vv. 12-17)…. If there was one word you ...read more

  • Hold Fast What You Have Series

    Contributed by Adam Deibert on May 7, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 14,993 views

    From the church of Thyatira we learn that we fall from grace when we allow any other authority than Jesus Christ to rule in our lives, and His church is weakened by rebellion against His established church leadership.

    If there’s one thing we’ve learned as we’ve studied the first three churches of Revelation, it’s that there’s nothing new under the sun. As we’ve taken the time to look so far at these churches, we can see that no matter what we as a church are going through at this point in history – whatever it ...read more

  • Watch Out! Series

    Contributed by Adam Deibert on May 7, 2004
    based on 47 ratings
     | 12,675 views

    The church of Sardis reminds us of the imminence of Christ’s return, and calls us to be found ready at all times.

    I read a story this week, from an old Reader’s Digest, about a cat was run over by a car. The cat belonged to 4-year-old Billy, and before he could find out about his cat’s death, his mother quickly disposed of the remains. After a few days, though, Billy finally asked about the cat. “Billy, the ...read more

  • Open Up Series

    based on 38 ratings
     | 6,213 views

    The church of Laodecia teaches us that letting Jesus in means letting Him take over. A mere profession of faith in Christ without a change in lifestyle is not enough.

    Today our journey is completed. We have arrived at our final stopping point; we will hear the final word of God to the seven churches of the book of Revelation. You know, it seems highly appropriate to me that we make this momentous arrival at the time when the attention of Christians everywhere ...read more

  • Wake Up And Smell The Coffee Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on May 14, 2004
    based on 40 ratings
     | 6,017 views

    This is on the letter to Sardis.

    Do your remember the Folgers commercial where that college student named Peter sneaks into the house at Christmas and started making coffee? Everyone in the house soon woke up to rich aroma. The churches of chapter 2 are told to “remember,” “repent,” “be faithful,” “hold fast,” and other things. ...read more
