2 Kings 5:1-19
Discovering God’s View
How we view God and his kingdom will often impact how we respond and live. In Acts 10, both Cornelius and Peter had to discover a new view of God in their lives that would shape the way they lived.
The Next 100 Years
Our church celebrated 100 years this weekend. As we wrap up our series of the 7 Churches in Revelation, we end with a remembrance of the servants of the past, and look forward to the next 100 years. Let us not be complacent, but but let us live the lessons of these churches--today and for the days to come.
Wake Up!
Wake Up! | Revelation 3:1-6
The Sardis Church was living off their reputation, but they were dead. They needed to wake up and strengthen what remained. We can also spiritually dead (or dying) and we need to wake up. We need to remember and focus on our purpose and our mission: follow Jesus and share Jesus with the world.
Be Holy
Be Holy
Revelation 2:18-29
Repent and Stand Strong
Stand for Truth
Stand for Truth
Revelation 2:12-17
It seems in our world truth is very evasive. But there is truth. God is truth. Jesus is truth. The Holy Spirit reveals truth. There is truth and the church that Jesus died and rose for is to stand for truth.
Renew Your Commitment
Renew Your Commitment (Revelation 2:8-11)
We are probably all afraid of something. The church in Smyrna had many reasons to be fearful in the face of persecution. Yet they are to be fearless and faithful.
Renew Your Love
Is something missing in your spiritual life? The passion and zeal gone? Maybe like the Ephesian church in Revelation 2 it is time to renew your love for Jesus and reconnect with His followers.
The Risen Savior Cares
In a world where there is suffering and church attendance overall is declining, we might wonder if Jesus cares? In Revelation 1, we are given this incredible vision of Jesus standing among his churches proclaiming I care and have not left you!
The Stone Will Cry Out
Inaugural parades for new leaders are festive occasions. Yet on this parade in Luke 19 that declares Jesus as king as one group cheers, he weeps for others.
When some Jewish leaders ask him to silence the crowds, he declares you can’t or the stones will cry out.
Be Content - Exodus 20:17-21
Don't have a heart that desires things that don't belong to you, but have a heart that desires God.
Exodus 20:17-21
Truth - Exodus 20:16
What is meant by "Do not bear false witness" according to scripture. A look at truth telling and the 10 Commandments.
You Shall Not Steal
Have you ever been the victim of theft? Or instead of just stealing property, we can also steal identities, reputations, from employees or employers, or even cheat on our taxes. Instead we should be ready to practice good stewardship, get a job and help people in need.
Exodus 20:15 “You shall not steal.” (NIV)
What’s This Church Thing About?
Every Sunday followers of Jesus get up and go to a church to gather and worship God. National statistics indicate the numbers of people attending church are declining. So, maybe what we should be focused on is – what is church really about?
Baptism
Jesus was baptized. So was the Apostle Paul. So were 3000 people right after the first sermon preached in Acts 2. So are people today.
