The Church in Thyatira received a challenging letter from Jesus because they had started justifying their sins of idolatry and sexual immorality. Like all of us, they allowed themselves to participate in popular and unholy activities and then sought to change their theology to justify their actions. Jesus called them on it and told them to repent. He says the same to us.

The Bible is one big story of how God entered into a covenant relationship with his people, and that includes all of us. Join us as we think through the implications of the gracious and cohesive way God lives in relationship with us and reveals it to us in the Bible.

Followers of Christ are to use their money wisely for the kingdom of heaven in an effort to build treasure there, not here on earth.

We'd love for you to join us this morning for worship!

The challenge for every Christian in every generation is whether or not he or she will persevere to the end in faith. Jesus, as the Alpha and the Omega, promised the Christians in Pergamum that they would live with him forever if they overcame the temptation to comprise with the world. Will you resist?

The Church in Smyrna was quite challenged by the spiritual warfare all around them. They were hard-pressed, slandered, forced into poverty, thrown in jail, and even killed for their faith. Persecution is always a threat for the Christian Church. We must be prepared.

Jesus wrote a stunning letter to the congregation in Ephesus in which he commended them for their religious acts of devotions, but rebuked them for their lack of love. They had ceased to let their love for Jesus, for one another, and for the world around provide the beat of their lives. We can do the same. Join us as we think about Jesus's shocking letter.

Jesus wrote seven letters to seven churches in the book of Revelation. In the first chapter he reveals himself to be the glorious king of all creation. Can you imagine what it was like to receive such a letter?

Our Wednesday Bible Study this week is on Luke 11:1-13 where Jesus taught his disciples to pray. He taught them two important truths:

1. That prayer is following Jesus.
2. That prayer recognizes God as a Heavenly Father.

Join us as we work through these wonderful truths.

The whole Bible is about Jesus. He's on every page, either explicitly or implicitly. The book of Jonah is a prime example of this reality. Jesus is better than Jonah. Where Jonah failed completely, Jesus obeyed perfectly.
