    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.

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

    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.

After a few days, though, Billy finally asked about the cat. “Billy, the ...read more

    This is part six of an eight part message on the seven churches of Asia.

    So, where were we? Oh yeah, Sardis.

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
