As Christians, we need to understand that if we believe and follow the Jesus of the Bible that we are on the same team. We may disagree about things like End Times or if we should speak in tongues. We may disagree about when we should take communion or if we should sing hymns or modern worship songs. But those are non-essentials.
Today we see applause and appreciation from Jesus to the church of Philadelphia – a church filled with Jesus followers who were doing everything right! Join us today as we see what that looks like and how we can be just like them!
Do you have people in your life that want nothing to do with Jesus? They hate that you are a Christian. They hate the church. They hate it when you talk about your faith. It’s those people we think God would never save. Could never save. But today in Acts we will see that God can and does save people like Saul who will eventually become the great Apostle Paul.
Join us today as we continue our study in Luke as we talk about doubt. What we will see is that even very godly men like John the Baptist doubted! We will work through what our job will be to stop our doubting as we recognize that doubt - untreated - can kill our faith!
Do you look spiritually alive and yet you really are spiritually dead? Join us today as we see what words Jesus has for the Church of Sardis who He says “looks alive” but in reality is “dead”! If this church looks like us – what does Jesus say we can do about it?
People matter to God and because of that, God calls us as Christians to talk to people about Jesus. Today we will see Philip who did exactly that and because of this one encounter, people in Ethiopia know about Jesus today. We never know how far and wide the message of Jesus will go when we actually open our mouths and share Him with others.
Living on planet Earth is difficult. Think of tragedies and heartache, addiction, and politics. Think of wars and famine and earthquakes and hurricanes. But as Christians – we know this earth is just temporary and as a follower of Jesus – we know this is not our forever home!
Jesus confronts sin and false teaching INSIDE THE CHURCH and we see this from the Church at Thyatira. Join us as we see how this church has been linked to Jezebel in the Old Testament and why tolerance inside the church is deadly to our faith!
Some of you feel persecuted in your faith. Your family thinks you are crazy because you follow Jesus. Your boss thinks you are a Jesus Freak and your friends don’t want to hang out with you! Today we will meet Stephen who felt the exact same way and yet he never wavered in his faith!
Faith. What exactly is it? Today we will talk about this as a Centurion comes to Jesus and asks Him to heal his beloved servant. We will see Jesus’ amazing answer and see what it means to trust and rely on God for the things we need.
“Compromise will destroy your faith.” Join us as we learn that God has great things in store for us but when we compromise it only hurts us!
The problem in the early church came down to ”TIME.” Nobody had time to do what needed to be done, which begs the question: Are you exhausted because you are doing what everyone expects of you? Are you doing what you are passionate about or are you doing what others feel you should be doing?
People say they are Christians but they don’t read the Bible and don’t do what the Bible says. But Jesus says He must be “Lord” of our life so what should that look like? Are we building our faith on a solid foundation where Jesus is the center?
What are you feeling crushed by? Life? Heartache? Persecution? Whatever it is we will learn valuable lessons from the early church of Smyrna as Jesus commends them for staying faithful regardless of what was going on in their lives!
What do we do with tragedy? Heartache? Loss? How can we fit a loving, all-powerful God into this picture when we know God COULD have stopped something bad from happening but He didn’t?
Why should we read the Bible? Why should we know the Bible? Why should we store the Bible in our brains? Well, I assume it is because that is how we get to know God. That is how God changes us when we see how to live life His way. Join us today as we talk about the importance of really knowing the Word of God.
Do you do things for God but have no love for Him?? Are you busy working for God? Going to church and bible study? Giving? Serving? And if so – why are you doing those things? Today we will see the Church of Ephesus which was filled with Christians but the problem was – they lost their first love for Jesus. Does this church look like you? Busy but no love for God?
How big is your God? That’s a great question because how you answer that question will determine how you live your life. If God is big – you will live a life of peace. You will pray more. Believe more. Trust more. So is God big in your life?
We hear people say “Judge not lest ye be judged” so we are under the assumption that we shouldn’t judge anything. But that’s actually not true. There are times to judge and confront someone. Join us today to see what the Bible says about this.
We live in a world where Jesus has been made to be whoever someone wants Him to be! But is that the Jesus we see in Revelation? No way! Today we will see the true picture of Jesus that should change our lives!
