    The Suffering Church (The Church Of Smyrna 2 Of 7)

     | 590 views

    You will notice that of the seven churches that John addressed, he gave the least amount of space to the church of Smyrna.

    All he had to say about the church of Smyrna he was able to cover in just four verses. However, we must not think less of this church, or feel they were insignificant just because there are less verses given to them. Why? Because there were only two of the seven churches ...read more

    For this is your hour, this is your year, and don’t let no devil in hell stop you from receiving what God has for you.

    “And let us not be weary in well doing: For in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” – Galatians 6:9. Before I get into our text, I will like us to review Paul’s life and conversion. For he was a prudent and profound man who believed in pursuing life with a passion so ...read more

    Just days prior to the crucifixion, Jesus spoke to His disciples regarding the events surrounding the end times. While we cannot predict the day, nor the hour, we can see the stage being set for His return! Jesus revealed much for us in this passage.

    Signs of the End (Part 2) Matthew 24: 3-14 In our last study we began to consider what is commonly known as the Olivet Discourse. Just prior to His crucifixion, Jesus spoke at length concerning the events that will lead up to His second coming. Some who hold to an Amillennialist theology believe ...read more

    . A review of Luke Chapter 12 and Luke Chapter 14 will help encapsulate this text in Luke 13:1-9 and ensure we discover the message to the 1st-century disciples of Jesus. Of crucial importance to our understanding of the text is the audience that has assembled to hear Jesus. Luke opens his ...read more

    Rapid Advance Of The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 6, 2024
     | 998 views

    Thessalonica was a wonderful testimony to a rapid advance approach to ministry. Paul mentions being there three sabbaths (Acts 17:2). There were many who were won to Christ and built up in faith in this short time before the team, Paul, Silas and Timothy moved on.

    My wife and I took part in a nine-month ministry training program called Rapid Advance. The name of the training came from this chapter and from a summary of how the Gospel moved in the book of Acts. Paul did not spend his years of ministry planting a single church and trying to perfect it. He ...read more

    In this world we will have suffering and at specific times the church will be impacted by tribulation. At such times the church needs to look to their Lord and to their future reward.

    Revelation 2:8-11 LOOKING BEYOND SUFFERING Matthew 5:11-13 If the first mark of a true and living church is fervent love, the second is the ability to endure suffering. Being willing to suffer or sacrifice for another proves the genuineness of ...read more

    God’s justice is more than fair, especially when it is stacked up next to his grace.

    GOD IS JUST! I recall playing basketball with my two nephews several years ago. We divided up into teams, the two of them against me. I did pretty well at first… and why not? I was almost twice the size of my nephews. After a little while, though, one of my nephews caught on. He began to make ...read more
