The Deceived Church (Church Of Laodicea)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 25, 2025

Some good Bible teachers have spiritualized these letters to the seven churches and made each local congregation represent a particular era of church history.

But I strongly disagree with some of these good Bible teachers that I have a high respect for and I will explain in a few minutes why I disagree. For example, according to their view… • The first church on the list is the Ephesian church would represent the time when the apostles were alive and ...read more

Being God's Church

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Apr 21, 2007

As God’s Church we gather together to worship God as his people; to remember Jesus’ death on the cross on our behalf; to build one another up; to stir one another up to love and good works; and to encourage one another to persevere to the end.

What does it mean to be God’s Church? That is, God’s people, literally ’called out’ of the world. Why should we meet regularly with other believers in this place? What do we think we’re doing when we gather here Sunday after Sunday? Perhaps you’ve never really stopped to think about those sorts of ...read more

Such as: We can see from the SEVEN ...read more

Your In The Church But Is The Church In You

Contributed by Tony Marshall on Oct 15, 2004

This sermon stresses the importance of having true conversion and not just being active in the church.

I know your in the church, but is the church in you · Many people today are wasting their time in church.
