Passionate About The Church Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 21, 2016

Paul was passionate about the church. He had developed a personal relationship with them and knew their needs and concerns. Pastors, and those within the church, can glean much from the Apostle in this passage. We need the commitment and passion he had.

Passionate about the Church Philippians 4: 1-3 In order to effectively lead a congregation of believers, the pastor must have a burden for the people within the congregation, while developing personal relationships with them. Paul understood this principle of leadership and provided a great ...read more

A Godly Perspective On Wisdom And Strength

Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 11, 2017

The true definition of wisdom and strength does not come from the world, but from God, whose foolishness is wiser than mans, and whose weakness is stronger than the strength of men.

Paul spends time defending his ministry. Evidently there were eminent "super-apostles (2 Cor 12:11), who were sharp in every way. Paul was unimpressive and even contemptible in comparison. These other leaders apparently had letters of commendation (2 Cor 3) which was impressive, they ...read more

Dealing With Blind Spots

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 14, 2017

In this message we look at the first instance of a man who was healed by Jesus and then thrown out of the synagogue. The pharisees were alive and well and still are.

“Dealing with blind Spots” John 9 Yes it’s a lengthy passage but to know the whole story we must read the whole story. So last week we looked at Jesus changing the water to wine. That was the first sign Jesus performed. This is the sixth. Remember that a sign is a miracle that always points to a ...read more

Being Jesus To The Under Resourced Series

Contributed by Russ Barksdale on Nov 14, 2017

Thyatira: Corrupted By Compromise

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 26, 2020

Although situated within the smallest of the seven cities, the church in Thyatira received the longest letter. They were faithful in their labor, but had compromised with false doctrine. Jesus challenged them regarding the toleration of false teaching.

While the church in Thyatira was situated within the smallest of the cities the Lord would address, it is interesting that they received the largest letter. The name ...read more

Sardis: Socially Active But Spiritually Dead

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 3, 2020

Sardis was the fifth church Jesus addressed in the Revelation. While the letter was shorter than the others, this one was the most severe. Apparently, Sardis has assimilated into the culture - with little difference known between the church and the world.

Sardis: Socially Active but Spiritually Dead Revelation 3: 1-6 As we continue to examine the churches to whom John sent letters, we come to the fifth – the church at Sardis. Of the seven, the message to Sardis was the most severe. They were content to rely on prior works and a reputation from the ...read more
