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.
Thyatira: Corrupted by Compromise Revelation 2: 18-29 Our text deals with the fourth church that Christ addressed in Revelation. 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

We see God reaching out to a foreigner and leading him to faith in Himself. This is the goodness and grace of God. It cannot be earned or be bought.
God’s grace goes international. Let’s read 2 Kings 5:1-19. God remembers His own and cares for His own, but His own does not mean only the people of Israel. • It refers ultimately to everyone who is willing to acknowledge God, believe and worship Him, as the one and only true God. • So God’s ...read more

A sermon about the prophetess Huldah.
In order to understand the story of Huldah, we have to understand the story of Israel at this point in their history. You see, we are now long past the “golden days” of King David’s reign and King Solomon after him. The twelve tribes have been divided into two different kingdoms; ten of the tribes ...read more

We see the unfolding of God's will and the outworking of God's works in fulfilling His will. God raised Ezra, the man of God's Law, to bring about the next phrase of restoration - spiritual reformation and renewal.
Finally, we have Ezra appearing in the book that bears his name. Chapter 7. • We ended chapter 6 with the completion and the dedication of the Temple of God, led by Zerubbabel and Jeshua, under the reign of Darius. • This was made possible because of the move of God (1) through the preaching ...read more

The early Church remembered and celebrated ...read more

There is much need for discipline in the Church.
The Purpose of Church Discipline: an Exposition of Matthew 18:15-20 When one looks at the word “discipline” we see the word “discipline.” To be a disciple is to submit one’s self to the discipline of the master. In the church, the Master is Jesus Christ who is mater also of heaven and earth ...read more

Does tradition have any role in the Christian life?
Tradition! Tradition! Tradition! Mark 7:1-23 I can remember many years ago seeing Fiddler on the Roof. My mind has gotten a little foggy concerning the details, but I remember a hit song which came from it called “Tradition, Tradition, Tradition. I was about an orthodox Jewish community facing the ...read more

Many of us here have struggled and continue to struggle with a holiness-deficiency. Holiness demands our separation from the world and sin to live a life of purity before and for our Creator.

There is no room for mixing other religions with Christianity.
Unto the Church in Thyatira, Write Revelation 2:18-29 Introduction Thyatira was the smallest of the seven cities which John addresses. Even though it was small in size, it did have a vibrant economy. It was known for its wool, bronze, and manufacture of a purple dye which was used in dyeing the ...read more
Thyatira was the smallest of the seven cities mentioned in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3. It is also the city about which little is known. Yet, it is to this church that Jesus addresses His longest letter.
Thyatira was founded by the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great some 300 years before the birth of Christ. The name Thyatira means "unceasing sacrifice". It more than likely received this name because it was a military "buffer city", located some 40 miles southeast of ...read more

This sermon explores the idea of rethinking our personal narratives in the context of the larger, overarching story of redemption and eternal life through Christ, as depicted in the Gospel of Mark.
We need to be reminded occasionally of the context of Jesus’ ministry. It was Israel: the community God formed and called to be his people for the world. The plan was that God would then act from within this people group, fulfilling their calling, to complete his rescue operation of the fallen ...read more
