This Sunday we will be looking at the Church at Philadelphia which was one of the few churches that were commended by the Lord in his letters. This one is found in Revelation 3. I would have most wanted to be a part of this church on the day the mailman delivered these letters to the churches. I would not have wanted to be identified with some of the other churches who were rebuked for their compromise or lack of fervent love. This church received a letter of encouraging words from Jesus Christ, words which would have been a great motivation to continue in the faith and ministry for the Lord. The Church at Philadelphia was commended particularly for being a church of overcomers. I pray that we will clearly see how we can be like this church of brotherly love!

When God makes all things new
March 25, 2018 • Dr. Danny Lovett
Revelation 21 is our text this week. When we begin to speak of eternal matters, we have entered a realm where we have difficulties getting our heads wrapped around this topic. Our mortal minds can’t begin to comprehend an existence that is eternal and perfect. We are so tied to time and accustomed to the concerns of this present life that we really can’t even imagine what heaven will be like. All we can do is read our Bibles, believe what God says about heaven, and rejoice in what awaits us, even though we can’t possibly grasp it all now. The title of the message for Sunday is When God Makes All Things New.
The Millenium

Some 250 years ago a man name Isaac Watts wrote a hymn based on Psalm 98 called “Joy to the World.” We sing this hymn at Christmas to celebrate Christ’s first coming. It's a favorite Christmas song, but the song is really about Christ's second coming. "He rules the world with truth and grace..." Watts wrote the hymn to celebrate the Kingship of Christ over all the earth, as the words indicate. This Sunday we will see what the Millennium means to us.
