    This is on the Letter to Philadelphia

    Some places have locked doors where you can’t go. Many businesses have “security doors” to control who can and can’t get in or out. Stores have “open doors” at the front, but closed doors in the back. We are to use the “open” door, not the closed one. Read Revelation 3:7-13. There are some ...read more

    This is about authentic worship.

    As I mentioned last week, worship is a broad term. It is often misunderstood. I want to come back to Rick Warren’s definition given in his book, The Purpose Driven Life, “Anything you do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship.” That’s a boiled down definition of worship.

    America has strayed so far -- is there hope? I’ve fallen -- is there hope? Look at Jeremiah’s picture of a God who says, "No matter what you’ve done. . . return to me!" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    The word “return” and its derivatives occurs 112 times in the book of Jeremiah. The picture of God we get is that of a God who is following his chosen people to the very “brink of the falls”, so to speak, saying, “IT DOESN”T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!” <ILLUS> Niagara falls, the “point of no ...read more

    Attitude and Action in regards to our giving to the needy.

    Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men.
