    It is amazing how we can commend ourselves for this or that, but perhaps God has a different perspective about us. This is what the Church thought versus what God knew to be true.

    Alive but Dead Rev. 3:1-6 In our study of the church God has said: • Remember your first love • Persecution is only for a little season • The World is where Satan sits • Watch out for the doctrine of Jezebel Point: It is not what we think about the church that counts, but it ...read more

    We are studying the church at Sardis. How do you wake up a dead church or a dead believer? Learn how Christians and churches can fall into a coma and how important it is to stay awake in your relationship with Jesus.

    I had a dream the other night. I was dreaming that I was asleep. Yes, I know that sounds very strange - but then my dreams often are very strange - perhaps an outgrowth of my personality. Anyway - I dreamed that I was asleep and that I at some point wished to wake up. That’s where the trouble ...read more

     | 314 views

    In this message I will be preaching about the church of Sardis which is known as the DEAD CHURCH. No one will admit they attend a dead church but all over this great nation of ours that is exactly what some people are doing.

    I look around me and see a world full of the living dead. The sad part is they don’t know they are dead. Paul reminds the Christ follower that they too were once part of "The Walking Dead". And at the time, we didn't know we were dead either!

    “The Walking Dead” by Steve Keeler Ephesians 2:1-3 “1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we ...read more

And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more ...read more

    Paul tells the Colossians they were dead. But what did he mean by dead? And how do we know if we are spiritually dead?

    The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.
