Today, pastor Al Pittman will turn our attention to the Lord’s message to the church in Smyrna, found in Revelation chapter two, beginning in verse eight. You know, pain is never fun to experience or even talk about, but pain - both physical and emotional - are facts of life. The church in Smyrna was suffering a barrage of persecution and tribulation, yet the Lord reminds them that they have no reason to be fearful.

Last time on The Dwelling Place, we learned that the church of Ephesus had lost their first love for God, and this prompted a warning from Christ in the form of a letter.Just as the church of Ephesus lost their first love, some still fall into that trap today. The good news for those that have is there is a remedy, and pastor Al Pittman will reveal the solution today.

For the next two weeks our eyes will rest on the seven churches described in chapters two and three. Today we’ll be looking at the Lord’s postcard to the church in Ephesus. The Ephesians were firm in their belief in the Lord as Savior, and their doctrine was strong, but they had walked away from their emotional attachment to Him. Their love had grown cold. It happened to the Ephesians and it’s still happening to Christians today.

Jesus warned us that the world would only get worse, as the end of the age approaches. As natural disasters ravage the earth, false prophets mislead millions, and wars and conflicts continue, it’s not hard to see that Jesus’ words are very true! In these last days, the Lord wants us to reflect His light, and today’s Dwelling Place will encourage us in that direction. It’s part of pastor Al’s new study of the first chapter of Revelation.

Todaywe begin a series in the book of Revelation. Revelation is an often times misunderstood and a neglected book. It can be daunting, to say the least, but as we go verse by verse through these chapters, I think you’ll come away with a new found knowledge and appreciation for it. And you’ll walk away from it learning a great deal about Jesus and who He is!

After several months of study inthe glorious book of Romans, we finish it all up today. And talk about finishing on a high note... it couldn’t get any higher than the glory of God. In the closing verses we find a wonderful doxology that spotlights God’s wisdom and glory. And through it all, Al will ask us, Is the glory of God the theme of our lives? Pastor Al will also give us some important tips on recognizing false teaching - which is an enormous concern in the year 2019

We’re on the final leg of our journey through Romans, as we’ve reached the sixteenth and final chapter of the book. Maybe in your personal study of the chapter, you sort of just skimmed through the list of names and greetings here. After all, Paul mentions thirty three people by name in the chapter. Most of them we know very little about. Well pastor Al doesn’t want us to miss Paul’s love for people that comes shining through in this passage.

Today on The Dwelling Place, we’ll examine the best way to communicate with God the Father, through our representative, Jesus Christ.

I guess when you break prayer down to it’s bare essence, what we’re doing is talking with God. But as with so many other parts of our relationship with God, there is a right way and a wrong way to pray. Do you know the difference? Too many people have the wrong motivation when they pray. Should we be trying to bet God too see things our way..... or should it be the other way around?

Bible scholars consistently rank Romans in the top three or four most significant books in the bible, and one of the reason is it’s practicality. These words were written two millenniums ago, yet are spot on for Christian living in 2019. As we again look at the ways our faith can minister to others, pastor Al will talk about benevolence - being kind and generous to others. What a great witness that is!
