This week we meet a church that everyone looked at and thought, “Man, they’re killing it!” They were, but not in the way they thought. What do you do when Jesus shows you that you’re not all you’re cracked up to be? In this message, we talk about how to change direction and get back in step with Jesus.

Sometimes when you look at what a church is doing it may seem like they have it all together. Growth and works can hide deeper issues. The church of Thyatira appeared to have it all together but being tolerant of sin was corrupting them from the inside out.

Sometimes the pressure on a person or church becomes so great, that even though they don’t break, they do bend. This may have felt like a win to the church in Pergamos, but Jesus did not look at it that way. In this message, we will talk about how to stay strong no matter the temptation.

How do we continue to have faith even when things get really bad? In this message, we look at a church that had a very difficult path to walk but managed to stay faithful. It is one of only two churches in this section of scripture that receives no rebuke from Jesus.

The church at Ephesus fell prey to a common drift. As Jesus addresses what this church is getting right and what they are getting wrong as they wait for His return, we will see what that drift is and the effect that it has.

Though most people think of the Revelation as a doomsday prophecy, that’s not really what it is, and certainly not how it starts. This series will look at just the first 3 chapters where Jesus encourages seven key churches as they think about His return. In the process, we will find our own direction as we wait.

A lot of people get turned off by the financial pressure churches put on them. Is this what God wants? Are Christians commanded to “pay their tithe” to the church? Is this what the Bible says? As we look deeper into this idea, you may be surprised at what we discover.

Shouldn’t God protect us if we are doing things for Him? That certainly stands to reason. But when we look at how He deals with people in the Bible it becomes clear that isn’t always the case. In this message, we will look at the story of Job to understand how we should think about God’s protection.

Sickness is all around us. Particularly now in the middle of a global pandemic, we are probably all asking the question, “where is God in all of this?” What is His role and responsibility in healing? How does that work? In this message, we will look at the idea of God, the Great Physician.

It seems like a great thing to do, right? Speak the truth in love. Unfortunately, that often goes wrong and gets used as a justification for judgmentalism. Is that what the Bible is talking about when we read those words, or is there something even better to understand from this verse? We answer that question in this message.
