Those who place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ are secure in salvation, not by their own good deeds, because no one is good enough to do that, but believers are secure by the vicarious work of Jesus Christ on the Cross

Pastor Nathan walks us through three main "tests" given in these letters to the Seven Churches:

the "Truth" Test, the "Moral" Test, and the "Love" Test.

How many things do you KNOW, with certainty? Pastor Nathan brings us scripture that will help us to know if we can have certainty of Salvation.

Jesus said that it would be better for His disciples when He went away. How can this be?! Wouldn't it be better for us if He were HERE? Pastor Nathan helps explain what Jesus meant by this.

Shepherds, sheep, leaders, Jesus....Pastor Nathan draws from the books of Ezekiel and John with some interesting thoughts about what these things have in common.

Pastor Cory reminds us, with a passage from the book of John, that even though we experience failures or shortcomings at times doesn't mean that there isn't more in store for us. God has a plan, and He will use us if we are willing to trust Him.

Pastor Aaron draws from the parable in Luke 16 to remind us that God calls us to use all that He has given us for the purpose of advancing His Kingdom. When we are obedient in this way we prove our faithfulness TO God and open the door to greater trust FROM God in areas of ministry and responsibility.

Pastor Nathan draws from Nehemiah 4:9 to remind us of one of our Core Values, that prayer is the primary work of God's people. It is a continual two-step process of prayer followed by action.

Pastor Nathan continues the theme of trusting God for all things and keeping our focus on the Lord, making first things first, as He works out His promises to us.

Pastor Nathan exhorts us to give up worries and to come to the Father as children, knowing He cares for us and has resources for ALL our needs.
