Suffering is a part of life to one degree or another. In this letter to the suffering church of Smyrna, Jesus commends them for their faithfulness in the face of difficulty, persecution, poverty, and even death. He reminds them (and us) that our eternal reward far outweighs this present life. Join Pastor Gary Hamrick as we examine what Jesus has to say on the subject of suffering from the letter to the church of Smyrna in Revelation 2.

In the first of seven letters to the churches of Asia Minor, Jesus has three compliments and one major complaint for the church in Ephesus: among several things they are doing well, they have forsaken their first love-Jesus Christ. It can happen. Life gets busy, things become routine, and relationships grow distant. Do you remember a special time when you felt closer to the Lord than you do now? Why not return to your First Love? He's waiting for you! Join Pastor Gary today as we take a look at Revelation 2:1-7.

Join Pastor Gary Hamrick as he filters questions about the first ten chapters of the book of Genesis.

The great majority of the book of Revelation concerns events that are yet to come. The Lord has given us, as revealed to and recorded by the Apostle John, great detail about what will happen in the future to the earth and to humanity. Revelation reminds us that Jesus is coming again and encourages us to be ready. Join Pastor Gary for this introduction to Revelation and review of Chapter 1 entitled, "Unlocking Revelation."

Jude begins his epistle reminding us that we are loved by God and kept by Jesus Christ. In other words, God is actively at work to protect and preserve our relationship with Him. But we have a responsibility in this relationship as well - "to contend for the faith" as Jude says in verse 3. Jude cites three examples of those who lost the battle and missed out on God's best. Join Pastor Gary in today's study of Jude entitled, "It's Worth Fighting For!"
