The Seven Churches - Part 8: Rev 3:14-22

He has conquered evil and depravity. The Gospel compels us to live out of this victory, especially as we nagivate through this broken world, that this side of heaven, we are being tempted, this side of heaven we will walk through pain and suffering, this side of we will feel the heat of the fiery furnace, but for those in Christ, th...

The Seven Churches - Part 5: Rev 2:18-29
The letter to Thyatira is the longest of the letters to the seven churches. It also contains arguably the harshest critique and the sternest warnings to the church. For us to fully understand this letter, we need to understand who Jezebel was in the Old Testament, and also why Jesus has the tolerance of Jezebel in Thyatira against this church. This sermon these two things, and then applies it to us as a church today. The leading question in the sermon: have we tolerated things that are not pleas...

The Seven Churches - Part 2: Rev 2:1-7
Jesus’ words to Ephesus in Revelation 2:1–7 teach us that the great commandment matters to God. Jesus identified our greatest obligation as wholehearted devoted love for God - Matthew 22:36–38, which declares to us that God is not pleased by mere dutiful obedience that does not flow from genuine authentic love.

Matthew 7:1-6 Don't Judge!The sermon on the mount has turned a corner and is now focusing on relationships in the community of faith. In this community of faith, our brokenness and sin are open to see to everyone. What shall we do when we notice the shortcomings of our brothers and sisters? Are we to judge?
