    Thyatira: 'tis The Gift To Be Simple Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 3, 2003
    based on 31 ratings
     | 5,384 views

    True simplicity is a focus on the fundamentals of love, faith, service, and patient endurance. Getting caught up in theological guesses or emotional highs diverts us from "this one thing I do".

    Some things are so simple they are hard to understand! Some things are so direct and obvious that we don’t want to accept them as they are. We want to make them complicated. Have you ever tried to describe to someone how to tie a shoestring? It seems simple until you start to teach it. Left ...read more

    With the enemy at the door, the government out of control, stuck in the mud, Jeremiah down in a muddy cistern, stuck up to his arm pit with no way out, God still had a way out! Can ordinary people made a difference?

     | 11,195 views

    19 times we find this phrase in the Psalms, and that same sentiment has been echoed by countless millions of others. We examine the depth and types of suffering summed up in that expression and close with encouraging thoughts.

    How Long O Lord This morning I want to bring a message from a question we find repeated over and over again in the Psalms. I want to show you that it is one of the major themes of the book of Psalms and most of you have probably never even noticed it, (as a recurring theme) because we are too busy ...read more

    Paul said to command the rich to do something good with their wealth. 1- Command the rich to put their hope in God 2- Command the rich to be rich in good deeds 3- Command the rich to lay up heavenly treasures

    INTRO.- Command the rich. Do we ever have the right to command anyone? Maybe not, but God does. God can command us to do whatever He wants because He is God. It’s like parenting. Parents can tell their kids what to do and when, but of course, that doesn’t mean they’ll do it. But parents have ...read more

     | 7,272 views

    As a believer our success is in the Lord based upon the choices we make. It also depends on the different events that go on in our lives and how we react to them. Apparently failures are the repercussions of the poor choices we make not lining up with God
