In this Bible study of Revelation 3:7-13 we will see what Jesus says to the church of Philadelphia. This church was doing well. They were one of only two churches along with Smyrna that was not criticized by Jesus.

But Jesus told them that they had little power. How could they remain faithful when they were so weak? From Jesus' letter to this church we are reminded at the importance of relying on Christ.

This Bible study on Ezra 5 continues to follow the Jewish remnant back in Jerusalem. The people had faced opposition rebuilding the temple and quit for 16 years. During that time, they focused on their own wealth and prosperity instead of the Lord. 

But God is merciful. He sends His prophets to warn them. And they continue the work again.

This Bible study reminds us that it is never too late to get back on track and put God first. Perhaps you have spent some time pursuing the world instead of God. Now is the day to seek first His kingdom and start working for Him.

In this Bible study of Revelation 3:1-6 we will see what Jesus says to the church of Sardis. The church has a big problem. It is dying. Problems don't get much bigger than that.

Even so, there was still hope. Jesus offered the Holy Spirit. He could bring revival. Forgiveness and salvation were still possible. But repentance was necessary.

Churches die when the gospel is not preached. How can we make sure that we know the gospel, preach the gospel, and live by the gospel?

No matter what problems you have or how serious they are (even as bad as those of Sardis), Jesus offers the solution. Join us for this Bible study of Revelation 3:1-6 to see how Jesus can wake you up and strengthen you.
