    Nothing corrupts a church any quicker than worldliness. Pergamum was a corrupted church. It is a picture of a church that is married to the world.

    Would you agree that worldliness corrupts churches? There are 4 things that cause a church to become worldly. 1. The church begins to participate in worldly functions. 2. The church allows worldly activities to take place in the church and even in the homes of its members. 3. The church begins to ...read more

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 2.

    In my very first position as a Senior Pastor, I quickly became aware of the major problem found in churches today. About three months into the job, I preached about the Rapture. I made sure it was not the old "hellfire & brimstone" type of message, and I even added some levity to a few parts, but ...read more

    The first two churches in Asa Minor will show us types and shadows of the present day church. The first loveless, maybe mechanical. The second, persecuted, but strong and proven. This is a verse upon verse spreaching on the book of Revelation. Enjoy.
