    One can see from these examples of binding and loosing that it means more than declaring something lawful or unlawful by preaching. It also means to confirm the truth by power as Christ and the apostles did.

    You Hold the Key "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." -- (Matthew 16:19) Matthew 16:19 a [thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven] Not to ...read more

    There are times when life just doesn’t make sense, and the best thing we can do is cry out, "Hold Me Jesus."

Hold me Jesus, for I’m shaking like a leaf, you have been king of my glory, won’t you be my Prince of Peace.” I can’t tell you how ...read more

    The figurative storms that we encounter in life are very real in their consequences. When they come...and they will...the Christian is wise to utilize the four anchors that God has provided.

    Hold fast to the Word, for we stand under the judgement of God’s Word. Do not compromise at all cost.

    Holding on to the truth is of vital importance. - It is a matter of life and death, blessing or suffering, reward or judgement. - Jesus emphasizes this need to the two churches. - They performed well in many ways but not in the guarding of God’s truth. We need to (1) HOLD FAST TO THE TRUTH - ...read more

    Our tongue can get in the way of our growth as a Christian

    James 1:26-27-If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

    The church in Thyatira demonstrates the need to follow the ways of Jesus in order to prevent being deceived.

    In our culture, I think there is sometimes a tendency for us to look around at all the mega churches, even some right around us, and to begin to think that a smaller church like TFC really isn’t all that significant to the kingdom of God. But Jesus’ message to the church in Thyatira ...read more
