Fear Not: Finding Comfort In The Presence of Christ

Revelation 1:9-20

June 9, 2024 • Shad Baker • Revelation 1

We all face moments of discouragement, whether it's societal issues, economic frustrations, personal disappointments, or disillusionment with the church. In these times, we need the renewed vision of Jesus as we find in Revelation 1:9-20.

In this message, we explore how the apostle John, exiled and persecuted, found comfort and strength through a powerful revelation of Christ. Despite his tribulations, John saw Jesus in His brilliance, a vision that transformed his perspective. In this profound imagery of Jesus in Revelation, we are reminded that He holds the keys to life and death and is always present among us. This sermon encourages us to worship and embrace Christ and find comfort in His powerful presence. Join us at cefc.church.

Leaving A Lukewarm Life

July 28, 2024 • Mike Baker • Revelation 3:14–22

Revelation 3:14-22 is an incredible conclusion to the letters Jesus sent to the 7 churches. In this passage, we see that a self-reliant life is a breeding ground for a lukewarm faith. A lukewarm relationship with Jesus is something utterly revolting to Him to the degree that Christ says He would rather we be completely cold in our relationship toward Him! Jesus, in His faithful and steadfast love for us, gives clear instructions on how to rekindle a zealous relationship with Him. He concludes the letter with a reminder of His character and a promise that if we conquer as He did, we will rule alongside Him. The church that received the harshest assessment from Jesus was also promised the greatest reward. No one is too far gone from Jesus! Join us at http://cefc.church

The Door To Renewal

July 21, 2024 • Steve Wilmert • Revelation 3:7–13

Revelation 3:7-13 reminds us of that Jesus is holy, true and that He holds the keys to everything! In this passage, we are reminded that when we encounter trouble of persecution, we can trust Him, and we need to be faithful. Even when we feel powerless, we must keep His word and continue to proclaim Jesus. He reminds us that our faithfulness pleases God and will be rewarded. Join us at http://cefc.church

Wake Up Before You Die

July 14, 2024 • Shad Baker • Revelation 3:1–6

“Wake Up Before You Die!” That is the message of Revelation 3:1-6 where Christ tells the church of Sardis that: * Their reputation does not match reality; * They must wake up spiritually; and * They must strengthen what remains and is about to die. Then Christ gives great encouragement to us, and to the church, by explaining the great benefits of walking with Christ. Those who walk with Christ will be clothed in the white purity of the righteousness of Christ and enjoy the presence of Christ forever! Join us at http://cefc.church
