Today you’ll be introduced to another of the churches addressed at the beginning of Revelation – the church at Smyrna. This short but important letter will talk of a church that was enduring hardship, and the history Pastor John will share with you today confirms it. The church was being persecuted, and believers were being put to death for their faith! This can be hard to imagine living in a relatively safe place, but the day may soon come when you too will have to choose – Jesus, or the world?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Revelation chapter 2 as he begins his message The Poor Rich Church.

The Bible was written through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is the final authority of God. Through its pages, we’ve been warned about avoiding deception and false teachings. In today’s message, Pastor John encourages us to filter everything through the lens of the Bible. Every pastor, teacher, speaker, book, website, movie, tv show, or advertisement. We need to use our Holy Spirit-given discernment to weigh the truth. The Devil is a real-life adversary and wants nothing more than to deceive and destroy.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Revelation chapter 2 as he continues his message The Seven Churches.

The church of Ephesus was blessed to have had a who’s who of church leaders from their inception. Solid, Bible-believing, compassionate leaders can make all the difference in the life of a young church. Pastor John recalls the list of leaders, including Paul, Apollos, Timothy, and John, in today’s message. These men’s talents were used mightily by God to strengthen and uplift the church of Ephesus in order to teach and grow new believers to be a light into a dark world. Praise God for the raising of such leaders.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Revelation chapter 2 as he begins his message The Seven Churches.

Revelation is a difficult book to grasp fully, but Pastor John teaches today that he, like many pastors and scholars, believes the rapture of the church will happen before the Great Tribulation. How do we know this? Because the church, for all the times it’s mentioned in the early chapters of Revelation, is never mentioned again beginning in chapter 6. Jesus is coming for His church. If you’ve received salvation through Jesus Christ, you’ll be taken up in the clouds with other believers before the tribulation begins.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Revelation chapter 1 as he continues his message The Unveiled Christ.

God’s Word was written through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for all people to read. It’s a book that can be best understood through a relationship with Jesus Christ. He can speak to you directly through its pages. You may read the exact same scripture as someone else but get an entirely different revelation. That’s because the Holy Spirit speaks to us individually. In today’s message Pastor John reminds us that God doesn’t desire to fool us or keep us in the dark. His Word is for everyone!

Today’s message is a Q&A discussion between Pastor John Miller and Joel Weldon.

Generally, pastors and teachers try to avoid the teaching of end times.  Scripture isn’t 100% clear on every detail, nor is it without different interpretations and opinions.  Pastor John points out today that a low view of scripture and the desire to live better now tend to fuel that avoidance.  But God has given us all we need to know in scripture and it’s all of great worth.  Knowing and understanding end times should motivate believers to live differently in light of it.

Now, let’s join Pastor John and Joel for their Q&A of The New Heaven and New Earth.

Today’s message is a Q&A discussion between Pastor John Miller and Joel Weldon.

Every political system on earth is incredibly flawed.  Pride and power can erode even those with great integrity.  Even the most honest governmental leaders can’t begin to compare to what Jesus’ reign forever will be in Heaven.  Pastor John today will explore the idea of Jesus’ theocratic reign in Heaven.  There’ll be no need for political leaders, or police officers or even doctors.  Jesus himself will perfectly rule and guide believers. His holy standard will be the standard of everyone.

Now, let’s join Pastor John and Joel for their Q&A of The New Heaven and the New Earth.

God created an amazing, vast, beautiful world.  It can take your breath away when you behold creation and recognize the creator’s hand.  However, everything you see here pales in comparison to what you’ll experience in Heaven.  The beautiful here is but a shadow of the glorious to come.  Today, Pastor John describes the wonders of your future heavenly home.  Not only will you be surrounded by colors and scenes you can’t even imagine, but you’ll experience an eternity of holiness and perfection with God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Revelation chapter 21 as he continues his message The New Heaven and New Earth.

For believers on earth, it’s clear that this world is not your home.  It’s foreign and not what you were designed for.  However, the beautiful truth Pastor John explains today, Jesus is currently and actively preparing your eternal home in Heaven.  He’s so personal; he’s preparing it for you and preparing you for it.  You get to be with him forever.  And it will be so glorious and amazing that it’s beyond explanation or understanding. You need not be afraid; Jesus is creating a beautiful, eternal state for you.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Revelation chapter 21 as he begins his message The New Heaven and New Earth.

The torment was over.  His work on the cross was complete.  Mankind was now saved and redeemed.  Because of that, Jesus prayerfully committed his soul back to his father.  Today, Pastor John explains how Jesus died just as he lived.  Throughout life, he trusted God completely, depended on him every moment and rested in his hands as he did in death.  Because of his complete obedience and willingness to suffer on your behalf, your salvation was won.  And that will never be taken away!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 23 for his message The Word of Committal.
