A Solid Foundation

In our prayers, we must trust God. We can trust Him to know what is best, but we also must trust Him enough to do what He says. Our prayers should reflect that trust.

This is the eighth message in the series "The Church's Report Card", the third where we look at the church at Smyrna. In this message we find out the reward for perseverance and courage: no judgment. Just what does no judgment mean? And is that worth all that the church will have to endure? Jesus answers these questions for us.

This is the sixth message in the series "The Church's Report Card", the first where we look at the church at Smyrna. In this message we see what the Christians in Smyrna had to endure for their faith. Are we willing to endure the same? Are we living in such a way that we would even come close to these persecutions? Do we get an A+ in perseverance?

This is the seventh message in the series "The Church's Report Card", the second where we look at the church at Smyrna. In this message we see that the church is to have courage in the face of persecution - even persecution that ends in death. Do we have the courage enough to face the persecution of name-calling? We have to be a church of courageous Christians.

This is the fifth message in the series "The Church's Report Card", the third where we look at the church at Ephesus. In this message we understand the reward for those that heed the message and repent. The question is, though, do we have ears to hear?

This is the third message in the series "The Church's Report Card", the first on the church at Ephesus. In this message we see what Jesus had to say about the right and wrong kind of tolerance in the church at Ephesus. We'll also see how we as the church today grade on the same issue.

This is the fourth message in the series "The Church's Report Card", the second where we look at the church at Ephesus. In this message we see what Jesus had to say about the love that was, or wasn't, shown at the church at Ephesus, and exactly what kind of love it was. It may surprise you.

In this message, we look at whether we have belief in Jesus that leads to salvation and life-change, or do we have belief that leads to little more than a questioning acknowledgement of Jesus. Our passage clearly tells us that the belief that we claim in Jesus can be partial and not a saving faith. We compare the encounters of Jesus with Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman and see which exemplifies a life of true heart change. We then ask: which one are you.

This is the fourth and final message of the series "Know What's Coming". The series is part of a 5-month theme called "On Mission With God" that ends with this message. In this 4-part series, we'll see that when we respond to the calling of God--even though we know He'll provide all we need, and we've set our priorities to line up with the call--there will be trouble. In the message "Hope", we'll see that even through our afflictions, God is growing us into Christ-like character. Ultimately, our afflictions and persecutions produce hope because of our salvation through Jesus Christ.
