    The Church Of Smyrna: Possessing The Wealth Of Heaven (Revelation 2:8-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 18, 2023
     | 1,086 views

    Within the city of Smyrna, there existed a struggling Christian community undergoing intense and withering persecution. The Lord Jesus came to them with a word of comfort for their dark days. Even though they were poor, they were, in fact, rich beyond imagination.

    In our look at the seven churches of Asia Minor described in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, we come to the second church the Lord Jesus addresses in terms of testimony and steadfastness to the Gospel. This is the church in the city of Smyrna, which was located about 35 miles north of Ephesus. ...read more

    Religion imprisons in ritual, Jesus frees us through our willingness to surrender all to Him

    We continue our series of escape by looking at another area of ourselves that keeps us from experiencing the freedom Jesus’ coming and rising offer us.

    Excuses, Excuses

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 23, 2023
     | 2,739 views

    Everybody has an excuse for not getting seriously involved with God. And some of those reasons are genuine. But some excuses are just another way of saying “I have more important things to do with my life, don’t bother me.”

    Jesus had been preaching and teaching, healing all kinds of sicknesses and casting out demons, up and down the Sea of Galilee for months. Everywhere he went people gathered, waiting for hours - some just to hear him speak, others hoping for the chance to ask him a question or even just to touch ...read more

    Jabesh Gilead was in big trouble. They had bypass God and played with sin. The enemy Nahash gives them the option: the sword or gouge your right eye out and limit your vision? Saul strengthens their hands and strengthens his kingdom.

     | 5,525 views

    Sometimes we so emphasize that Jesus is the Son of God (fully divine) that we forget He is also the Son of Man (fully human). At Gethsemane, we see Jesus’ human nature struggling with the perfect will of God — for our sakes!

    Jesus the Struggler (Mark 14:32-42) 1. We all do goofy things. “Today, I took a picture of the combination to my new lock so I would always have it on my phone if I ever forgot it. I put my phone in my gym locker, locked it with the new lock, then promptly forgot the combination.” 2. ...read more
