    Someone's Knocking

    When we read Rev. 3:20 we need to ask: 1. To whom is he speaking? 2. What is his purpose? 3. What should be our response?

    I recently finished reading Dallas Willard’s book The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes Lives. Willard is the kind of writer that leaves you saying, "That makes so much sense." But I was struck by an illustration he used toward the end of the book regarding William Holman ...read more

    How do we fight complacency in our spiritual lives?

    Zephaniah 1:10-14 10 "On that day," declares the LORD, "a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the New Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills. 11 Wail, you who live in the market district; all your merchants will be wiped out, all who trade with silver will be ruined. 12 At that time I ...read more

    The church of Laodecia teaches us that letting Jesus in means letting Him take over. A mere profession of faith in Christ without a change in lifestyle is not enough.

    Today our journey is completed. We have arrived at our final stopping point; we will hear the final word of God to the seven churches of the book of Revelation. You know, it seems highly appropriate to me that we make this momentous arrival at the time when the attention of Christians everywhere ...read more

    Transforming armchair Christians into the Witnesses they can be.

    I would like this morning to hold up a mirror toward the congregation. Not a glass with silver backing dressed up with an ornate gold leafed frame…don’t attempt to adjust your hair or tuck your child’s shirt back in, again.

    The Apostle John paints a beautiful picture of God’s desire for mankind pertaining to their salvation through the LORD Jesus Christ standing at the door of the sinner’s heart and knocking.

    The painting by Holman Hunt shows Jesus outside a door with no handle requesting entry but will he be admitted?

    Take a look at this picture. It’s a rather famous painting by an artist whose name was Holman Hunt. The original is hung in St Paul’s Cathedral in London. If you look at it closely there’s something rather odd about it. Can you spot it? It’s unusual because it’s a door with no handle! Now ...read more

    To remind the readers that the Lord is patiently waiting at our door, seeking to keep our fellowship.

    AN INVITATION FOR FELLOWSHIP Revelation 3:20 Dr. Harry Ironside used to tell about a group of believers who thought only of "internal fellowship." They had little concern for reaching the lost or for defending the faith against its enemies. In front of their ...read more

    we need to resist the pressures of our culture to conform unthinkingly to the status quo and to compromise on the major principles of our faith. We need to recover the radical edge of Jesus’ teaching, that turns the values of the world upside down.

    It’s interesting how we can go from the two letters we saw last week where one church thought they were alive and were actually dead and another thought they were as good as dead but actually had plenty of life in them, to the final letter of the seven where the church is neither one thing nor the ...read more
