1 Timothy (Part 18) | 1 Timothy Series

The heavenly curtains are pulled back and we're introduced to the Twenty Four Elders sitting around the throne of God. We discuss their presence in the Holiest of Holies, their importance to the persecuted saints, and what they mean for the Body of Christ today.

1 Timothy (Part 16) | 1 Timothy Series

We finish up our 3-part series on worship, by looking at Psalms 111 and discussion six more terms for worship mentioned in the Bible. God gives very specific directions on what worship is and how He expects His people to worship Him. As we usher in this new year, lets commit ourselves, as priests and kings for His Holy Kingdom, to properly worship God His way.

We continue looking at examples of worship during the coming of the Messiah to show us how we are to worship God. We look at Simeon and Anna, two individuals who were active worshippers, and learn from their response to being in the presence of Jesus Christ. As we prepare of the new year, our worship needs to be more than lip service, but an attitude and activity, for God is worthy of our worship.

There's a very important reason why God opens up Revelation 4 with a look into heaven - where worship is going on all day and all night. As we enter Christmas week, lets define worship according to the Scpitures, and then look at the types of worship that was going on over 2000 years ago, due to the arrival of the Messiah to earth.

1 Timothy (Part 15) | 1 Timothy Series

The pattern throughout history is that prior to God releasing the wrath of His Holy anger through judgment, He reminds us of Who He is and where He sits. Isaiah saw the vision of The Almighty before declaring the judgement from Assyria and Babylon. Ezekiel saw His Glory prior to declaring judgement on God's people. Daniel saw The Ancient of Days on the throne prior to God's message of destruction...

1 Timothy (Part 14) | 1 Timothy Series

Christ has finished His letters to the churches and now invites John up to the throne to see where the Almighty, Alpha & Omega dwells. What John sees sets the stage for the reason enduring, persevering, non-compromising, and avoiding idolatry are worth it - even in the midst of persecution.

1 Timothy (Part 13) | 1 Timothy Series

Which areas of your life does God have full, ultimate unquestioned control over? Which areas in your life is he "involved" but with a much lesser dominate role? Kind of like a "consultant" instead of a King? The church in Laodicea was content in living, working, operating without any help from Jesus the Christ. Their actions, thoughts, and way of life showed that "they" were the all-authority, kin...

1 Timothy (Part 12) | 1 Timothy Series

The Church in Laodicea had grown confident in their self-sufficiency. Christ was not their All-In-All, and they thought they were "good" when it came to the things of God. Christ Jesus had a very different view of them. Their "call" had no "cost." Jesus clearly articulated the requirements of following Him in Mark 8. Join us as we contrast the Laodiceans (and our) short comings in comparison to wh...

1 Timothy (Part 11)

In Christ's last letter to the seven churches, He introduces Himself as The God of Amen. He reminds them of His Faithful Witness which is firm, sturdy, strong, and consistent - then condemns them for being the opposite...

1 Timothy (Part 10) | 1 Timothy Series

As we finish up the letter to the church in Philadelphia, Christ gives His last conditional promise to the believers there. He then tells them of one of the highest honors given to mankind because of their endurance through trials...

1 Timothy (Part 8) | 1 Timothy Series

Because of Philadelphia's obedience and boldness for Christ, He opened the door that no one could shut for them by providing opportunities for them to make disciples - even in their persecution. How are your disciple-making efforts going?

As we approach the November election, we look at the fact that there is no savior in the Democratic Party, nor a savior in the Republican party. The only One to heal the ills of society is Christ Jesus.

Because the saints in Philadelphia kept God's Word and publicly associated themselves with King Jesus the Christ, they received three precious promises that allowed them victory in the middle of disaster.

We set the context of Christ's message to the church in Philadelphia by looking at the inception of Kingdom language in the Bible. Starting from God's covenant with Abraham to His covenant with David, we see that Christ as King has historical roots, and has meaningful relevance for the Body of Christ.
