There is so much that corrupts not only the world but the church as well. Immorality, sin, and rebellion have begun to run rampant everywhere we look, including, sadly, in many churches. Today, Pastor John will explain that, though God is wholly against sin and will not tolerate it, He continually offers forgiveness and grace to those who give up their sin and turn to Him. And more often than not, many will reject this offer of mercy and hold onto sin. But for those who repent and believe, God offers salvation!

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

It’s easy to see the degradation of the church in the world today. In many cases, it’s lost its power and influence over culture. Instead, it’s changing more and more to be like the world, allowing sin and tolerating immorality. Today, Pastor John will explain that many churches have abandoned the word of God. And without the bible, you can’t know God, understand Jesus and salvation or know the holiness you should strive for. The church is supposed to preach and live the Word of God. That’s how culture is influenced!

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

A common failing that can plague a church is the idea that you can behave and live any way you want, as long as you have a saving faith and believe in Christ.  This idea crept into the early church and still is here today. But Pastor John will challenge you today to live a holy life. Live according to what you believe in about God and Jesus Christ. Living however you desire cheapens God’s grace and rejects Jesus’ death on the cross.  You must repent of this and seek to live a Holy life for Him!

Likely you’ve heard before that as an individual believer and corporately as a church, you’re to be in the world and shine Jesus’s light to the world. You can’t simply pull away and hide! But, as Pastor John will warn you today, be careful that as you are shining your light to the world, the world doesn’t creep in and subtly overtake you or your church. Satan is sneaky! He knows how successful he can be through subtle deceit. He can, bit by bit, infect God’s church with the ways of the world.

When you think of being rich, what comes to your mind? Lavish living, decadent indulgences, and exotic travel often come to mind for many. Today, Pastor John describes a different kind of rich the world simply can’t understand. When believers in Christ in the early church refused to deny Jesus, they often lost everything. But Jesus still called them rich. All the money in the world can never afford you the spiritual blessings that faith in Christ brings. If you’ve got Jesus, you’ve got everything you need!

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

Imagine facing hungry lions and other unimaginable horrors just for having faith in Christ. Early Christians were heavily persecuted.  Today, Pastor John will explain the great persecution and trials the church in Smyrna was experiencing and the encouragement that Jesus gave them through the apostle John. Jesus sees and understands your suffering! He experienced it too. But only Jesus conquered death and promised the crown of eternal life to those who believe and stay faithful.

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

When you first believed and were saved by grace through faith in Jesus – you were likely excited, on fire for Christ, eager to know Him and pursue Him. Yet, over time, that fire has perhaps waned a bit as you go along in your life of faith. Today, Pastor John warns against the subtle drifting away from God that can happen to believers in Christ. No matter how passionate you were at the beginning of your faith journey, anyone is susceptible to drifting away. Don’t grow apathetic and indifferent to the wonders and grace of God. Stay in tune, and connected to Christ and hold fast to your love for Him.

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

It can be tempting today to look at the state of the world and begin to despair. You may feel like this is the worst our world has ever been. But, there’s been darkness and brokenness in every generation. In the days of the early church, the city of Ephesus was a dark and evil place. But, as pastor John teaches today, the church there was a light in that darkness. The church should always shine God’s light in the dark world, despite its flaws. We have the opportunity today to shine God’s love, grace and mercy to the broken.

It’s natural to wonder what is to come, in the short term but also at the end of time. Especially as a believer in Christ, you should feel curious about how everything will end and what it will look like when it does. Today, Pastor John will explain how the book of Revelation describes the end. Jesus will one day return to earth, make all things right, eliminate sin, judge evil, and usher in a forever eternity with Him for all who believe. He gave you this book to peak your curiosity and grow your anticipation for what’s to come!

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

Generally, people tend to avoid the book of Revelation in the bible. Some claim it’s too controversial; some say it’s too cryptic and hides truth. But, as pastor John teaches today, the word revelation means unveiling or apocalypse.  God has given His people the book of Revelation, not to confuse or confound them but to reveal Himself and His future kingdom. He revealed it through His Spirit to His faithful apostle John. Revelation can’t be ignored and dismissed. It’s God’s word to help His people.
