Welcome to the church in Philadelphia. It is a church that is celebrated for being faithful. These are the believers who did not give in to the persecutions and temptations that surrounded all the churches. They stood firm in their faith and devotion. Jesus announces to them the open door of opportunity. The same open doors that are ours today if we are willing to walk through them.

In this episode, Pastor David and Malea take a closer look at the churches in Thyatira & Sardis.

Questions covered in this episode:

What exactly does the role of both truth and love play in the health of the church?

What does it mean for the church to be a community of repenting sinners? How does that play out in the life of the local church?

If false teachers do teach some true things, how can our church be on guard against false things?                                                                                                                    Should a church strive to have a good reputation?

How do we keep from being a dying church?

Welcome to the church in Sardis. It is a church that outwardly looks like it is full of life, but Jesus declares it has a serious problem. Even though the message is death there is hope because Jesus is still the giver of abundant life.

Welcome to the church in Thyatira. Tolerance is a word used a lot today. Christians endure the pressure to be tolerant and accepting of the very things that go against the truth of God. Jesus' words to Thyatira remind us of our call to stand firm in His truth and the rewards He gives to all who hold on to what is most important.

In this episode, Pastor David and Malea take a closer look at the churches in Smyrna & Pergamum. Questions covered in this episode:

Is suffering always a bad thing for the church? How can it ever be a blessing?

What are some external threats to the church? What are some internal threats?

Why are immorality and idolatry so closely connected? What are some of the idols that often accompany and fuel the immorality we see around us?

What is significant about receiving the stone with the new name on it?

Welcome to the church in Pergamum. A church that had compromised. They held on strong to the name of Jesus yet were careless in protecting against false teaching and influences of the world. Jesus calls on them to repent because He is jealous for His church and died for us to be a pure bride.

What is so special about Jesus? All the major religions are basically the same, so it doesn’t really matter what a person believes. This is the conclusion for a lot of people, so we invite you to consider Jesus and the evidence that sets Him apart.

Welcome to the church in Smyrna. A church being persecuted for bearing witness to Jesus Christ and unwilling to compromise with the world around them. They stood firm, endured suffering, yet experienced a purity of faith in which Jesus delights.

In this episode, Pastor David and Malea discuss the last two weeks of our Revelation series. Questions covered in this episode:

What does “I have the keys of Death & Hades” mean in 1:18?

What is a modern-day parallel to Nicolaitans?

Why are we called to pursue holiness with our bodies?

What does "To the one who conquers" in 2:7 mean?

 

Welcome to the church in Ephesus. A church that is commended for their hard work, perseverance, and their defense of pure doctrine. But they lost the most important element of devotion and service to Christ…love. Still today, as we faithfully serve Jesus we have to keep love as the main thing.
