The Lord Jesus promised that the feeble church of Philadelphia would be unstoppable, unassailable and unshakable.

The story of the church of Sardis is a great example of the way God's Word will challenge our hearts. It is very easy to get caught up in doing good works but completely miss out on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Looking into the past at the Church of Pergamum presents an honest look at our present times. The problem of compromise and accommodating the culture leads to war with God. Our identities can only be found when we cling to the Gospel of Grace.

The Church of Smyrna as shown in Revelation 2:8-11, provides us with a great message in our current times:
Be sure you are beating the second death
Count the cost of following Jesus
Join with our brothers and sisters that are being mistreated for Christ’s sake
Do not fear anything you are about to suffer
Remember who the enemy is and is not

Don't be surprised by tribulation, that's where Jesus speaks. John first tunes his ears to hear the words of Jesus, then he turns his eyes to see Him.

Heaven and Earth belong to our LORD:
1. Jesus is the faithful witness
2. Jesus is the firstborn of the dead
3. Jesus is the ruler of the kings on earth
4. Jesus loves us
5. Jesus has freed us from our sins by his blood

Sermon from Pastor Scott Yirka on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022. The risen Savior has commissioned you to proclaim Him, from the Scriptures to all men, for the purpose of calling all to repentance for the forgiveness of sins. You have been empowered by His Spirit to be His witness.
