This Sunday, as we continue through the book of Revelation, we move to the church in Revelation 2:18-29. The letter to the Church at Thyatira is the longest of the seven letters, and it is written to the most insignificant of the seven cities. The compromise with sin, Satan, and the world that began in Pergamos becomes full scale in Thyatira. The church at Thyatira had become entrenched in the world. The letter shows the depths of sin that compromise brings: full scale idolatry and immorality. This Sunday we will be looking at how we can prevent the evils of idolatry from penetrating deeply into the church as well as into our lives as Christians.

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
March 18, 2018 • Dr. Danny Lovett
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.
