Sermons – Eastside church of Christ

This is the fourth in a series of lessons on the seven churches of Asia addressed in Revelation 2-3. Through John, Jesus sent a letter to each church, which He also shared with the others and with us as well. The letters described challenges they were facing, what they were doing well, what they needed to correct, and more. In studying these seven letters, every church can find encouragement and/or warnings that apply to them. We will notice these are we go through our study.

Prophets played an important part in the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament. One of the prophets who had a major role during the days of the divided kingdom was Elijah. There are many events from Elijah’s life that we can learn from. We will highlight a few in this lesson.

Paul told the saints in Rome they were “members one of another” as part of the same body. Therefore, they were to act in a certain way toward one another. The same is true for us today. As members of the church – and of a local congregation in particular – we have certain responsibilities. To help us learn how to treat our brethren, we are going to consider what Paul told the Romans about their treatment of “one another.”

Many believe that all “good” people will be saved. Yet just because someone is “good” does not mean that he/she will be saved. In our lesson, we are going to look at a few examples of “good” people who still needed to be saved. Then we will notice the reason WHY simply being “good” by itself will not save anyone.

Paul’s purpose in life was to preach the gospel. Yet he knew he would not convert everyone. Whether or not someone is converted depends on their reaction to the message of the gospel. Paul explained that it would be perceived in one of two ways – the same is true today.
