The YWCA and the Church at Sardis | Revelation 3:1-6
A congregation may say it’s a church. A community may say it’s a church. The IRS may say it’s a church, but unless Jesus says it’s a church, it’s not a church.
Jezebel Is on the Loose | Revelation 2:18-29
Jezebel is rightly viewed as the most-wicked woman in the Bible – corrupt in sexual matters, in spiritual matters, and corrupt in civil matters. She is still on the loose today. You may have encountered her in the very church you attend. Beware!
If Not Now, When? | Revelation 2:12-17
In the early 4th century A.D., the Roman Emperor, Constantine, reversed the hostility of his predecessors and gave favored status to Christianity and the church. Wonderful, right? Maybe not. Wouldn’t it be terrific if the church had that kind of status again? Maybe, but maybe not.
Behind Enemy Lines | Revelation 2:12-13
The Revelation reveals the entanglement of two very different dimensions. One is the physical dimension while the other is the spiritual dimension. They are both very much real, but at the same time, they are both very much different. They operate parallel to each other in the same space. In fact, we reside in the shadow of Satan’s throne.
